Field Emission Technologies (of which Sony owns 37%) plans to mass-produce FED TVs in 2009. FED (Field Emission Displays) offers better picture quality than LCDs, and require half the energy (as they do not required backlighting). At first the TVs will be 26" in size, and later on they plan to produce 60" TVs.
Field Emission Technologies will invest something between 190$M and 280$M, buying a plant from Pioneer which is currently making Plasma TVs. Their sales forecast is 235M$ in the first two years.
