Mon, Nov 25, 2002 Techworthy article on future displays.

Hopefully we won't have to wait too much longer to be able to procure this bit of technological goodness for our desktops!

Reading the technical description of how it works, I can see how it gets around the contrast, true color, & viewing angle issues of normal LCDs, but it sounds to me like this should have the same scaling issues/resolution limitations, in fact even lower res I'd think...

CANDESCENT ABANDONS ITS GRAND PLANS
PRODUCT SHIFTED
50 LET GO
San Jose's Candescent Technologies, a designer of high-tech flat-panel displays that raised more than $600 million in venture capital, is abandoning plans to make its product -- becoming one of the largest start-ups to fizzle in Silicon Valley history.
The company laid off at least 50 of its approximately 100 workers last week, and is now slimming down to a remnant of its former self to license its technology to anyone who will buy it, company leaders and investors confirmed.

Believe it or not, I know the fella (one of, anyway) that started that company. I've been meaning to ask him about his product, but I guess that's all over now. He and his wife opened up a sushi restaurant on Telegraph Ave. in Berkeley as a side business.
