Carbon Nanotube Technology Could Supersede Plasma And LCD Flat Screens

[invalid_character]

Carbon nanotubes are promising materials for many high-technology applications due to their exceptional mechanical, thermal, chemical, optical and electrical properties. Another cool future use of carbon nanotubes is field emission flat screen displays. This article talks about how the LCD and plasma screens of today may be replaced by field emission flat screen displays (FED-TV) which take all the best aspects of CRT's, LCD's and plasma TV's and roll them into a single package.

Nice article. Personally, I'm looking forward to holgraphic TV images in the home. Angelina Jolie, Megan Fox, Elisha Cuthbert.... the possibilities are endless

ya, but then you'd *really* not get anything done... ever ...

is carbon environment friendly?
How much does it cost to make?
Nothing is wrong with the display technologies here's a example.

Lets say a LCD got a response rate of 8ms. Which is considered junk in the modern day.
Yet they're capped 60hz lower ones are 120hz.
But LCDs don't have a refresh rate. They need to emulate one so they can be compatible with the hardware we used with CRT.
To show you the emulated refresh rate a 8ms LCD can do its simple
1000/8=125hz
But you won't see them as 120hz.
Reasons the thing holding it back are the connection. Hdmi and dvi are bandwidth limited. Dvi to 60hz. Hdmi can do higher. Another reason they lie about the response time. So to give themselves headroom so the LCD can respond quick enough and let us believe 60hz is junk they cap them to 60hz when it can actually to their rated specs can do 125hz. Same things with 2ms ones comes to 500hz. But they will cap them at 120hz. Headroom and lack of bandwidth as well as their overrated printed specs on the monitors.
That's why in gaming you will only see 60fps or 120fps max unless your taking the risk by switching vsync off which will lead to tearing and ghosting if the gpu and the monitor go out of sync too much.
