Large-screen television technology developed rapidly in the late 1990s and 2000s. Various thin screen technologies are being developed, but only the liquid crystal display (LCD), plasma display (PDP) and Digital Light Processing (DLP) were released on the public market. These technologies have almost completely displaced cathode ray tubes (CRT) in television sales, due to the necessary bulkiness of the cathode ray tubes. However, just released technologies like Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and not-yet released technologies like Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display (SED) or Field Emission Display (FED) are making their way to replace the first flat screen technologies in picture quality. The diagonal screen size of a CRT television is limited to about 40 inches because of the size requirements of the cathode ray tube, which fires a beam of electrons onto the screen, creating a viewable image. A larger screen size requires a longer tube, making a CRT television with a...
