东芝集团和佳能有限公司宣布将在2007年7月开始大量SED面板的生产，并在2007年第4季度正式发售SED电视。SED是表面半导电子发射体显示器的简称，是下一代平板电视的显示屏幕，可以提供更好的动作特性。
在电视市场上，平板电视被期待有很高的增长，由于北京奥运会的召开、世界性范围内的向数字信号转换这些事情，估计需求将迅速扩大。东芝和佳能决定延期发售SED电视这一决定之后，SED电视的销售目标定位为2008年的北京奥运会商战。东芝和佳能就是看到2008年北京奥运的机会，强劲发展SED电视。
东芝和佳能认为SED电视计划的实施将作为工业发展的又一里程碑，50年电视史上的又一转折，与普通CRT电视刚刚出现时意义一样重大。
Toshiba and Canon Announce SED Launch Plan
Toshiba Corporation and Canon Inc. announced that they will start the first stage of mass production of SED panels in July 2007 and launch SED TVs in the 4Q of calendar year 2007. SED, the Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display, is a next-generation flat-panel display that offers excellent performance characteristics.
The market for flat-panel TVs is expected to see continued high growth within the overall television market, with demand receiving a significant impetus from the 2008 Beijing Olympics and from the global shift from analogue to digital broadcasting. Toshiba and Canon see the popularity of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games as an opportunity to strongly promote SED TVs.
Toshiba and Canon consider the launch of SED TVs to be a major industry milestone, a once-in-50-years historical turning point for the TV industry, comparable to the initial introduction of CRT television.
