Sony has announced a new spin-off that will concentrate on making displays for high-end professional video equipment.
Field Emission Technologies will focus on field emission displays, which are said to be more energy-efficient and produce more detailed moving images than current technologies such as LCD and organic light-emitting diodes (OLED).
"Our products will be used by professional video creators and at broadcasting companies," Field Emission Technologies CEO Shohei Hasegawa said at a news conference. "We have a dream of eventually entering the TV market for general consumers. But we will steer clear of heavy capital investments up front."
Canon has been strugglingto crank out displays based on related technology, surface-conduction electron-emitter (SED) displays.
