If you'll recall, Canon recently declared victory after <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/08/06/canon-wins-sed-lawsuit-can-produce-sed-displays-again/">winning a lawsuit</a> against Applied Nanotech that was previously holding it back from making progress, and now Applied Nanotech has waved the final white flag by giving up its right to appeal. Comically enough, it may actually be too late for Canon to even salvage the win, with president Tsuneji Uchida noting that "at times like this, new display products are not introduced much because people would laugh at them." Shh... nobody tell him the world's been <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/25/sed-televisions-delayed-again-possibly-forever/">laughing at SED</a> for <em>years</em>.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.oled-display.net/canon-clear-to-launch-cost-competitive-sed-tvs">OLED-Display</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/02/canon-cleared-to-resume-work-on-sed-tv-now-that-the-world-doesn/">Canon cleared to resume work on SED TV (now that the world doesn't care)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com">Engadget HD</a> on Tue, 02 Dec 2008 14:35:00 EST.
