Canon and Toshiba today announced an agreement by which Canon will purchase all of Toshiba's outstanding shares of SED, which was jointly established by both companies. On completion of the purchase, SED will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon, effective January 29, 2007.
The decision was reached following discussions between Canon and Toshiba based on the assumption of prolonged litigation pending against Canon in the United States with respect to SED (Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display) technology, the companies explained.

And what do we make of this? Toshiba has given up on SED but Canon will continue its development. This is an excellent way to make sure SED does not become a commodity.. do not produce it!!

I guess the earlier statement from Toshiba was (in retrospect) just so much bullshit.
