Canon wins SED lawsuit, can produce SED displays again

Posted by Nilay Patel in BLOGROLL, MEDIA

Filed under:


It's been a while since we've heard about Canon's legal troubles with SED, but it sounds like things are taking a turn for the better -- the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last week that Canon had not broken its contract with Nano-Proprietary (now called Applied Nanotech Holdings) since Canon is now the sole owner of its previous joint venture with Toshiba, SED Inc. The court also reinstated Canon's license to the SED tech, but since Canon stopped working on the tech last year, it'll probably be a while before we see any SED displays actually show up. We'll see how it goes down -- hopefully those rumors of a skunkworks SED project inside Canon will make this all seem like a bad dream someday.

[Thanks, Alex]

Compact Mobile Bar from Brazil

São Paulo based Isay Weinfeld's mobile bar (2006) folds up into a neat compact unit like an airline food trolley for stowage. A quick scan of the website's menu reveals that his architecture practice does a lot more extra curricular activities than just furniture, could be an interesting internship to apply for (last menu item) if you're looking to spend some time in Brazil.
