Facebook X LinkedIn Email
TOKYO, Jan. 12, 2007 -- Because of pending litigation against Canon Inc. over SED (surface-conduction electron-emitter display) technology, Japan-based Canon and Toshiba Corp. today announced the end of their joint ownership of SED Inc. Canon is buying Toshiba's stake in the company, which is based in Japan and has 550 employees. SED Inc. will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon effective Jan. 29. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed. Kazunori Fukuma, the current president of SED Inc. appointed from Toshiba, will resign from Toshiba, after which he will be hired by Canon and continue...Read full article

    Glossary
    electron
    A charged elementary particle of an atom; the term is most commonly used in reference to the negatively charged particle called a negatron. Its mass at rest is me = 9.109558 x 10-31 kg, its charge is 1.6021917 x 10-19 C, and its spin quantum number is 1/2. Its positive counterpart is called a positron, and possesses the same characteristics, except for the reversal of the charge.
    emitter
    A source of radiation.
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
