Price could drop for HDTVs thanks to carbon nanotubes

 

 
The price of big-screen TVs may come down to a point where most people can afford one. This is thanks to carbon-nanotube technology now in the works at Nano-Proprietary Inc., Austin, Tex. ( The price of big-screen TVs may come down to a point where most people can afford one. This is thanks to carbon-nanotube technology now in the works at Nano-Proprietary Inc., Austin, Tex. ( ). The carbon tubes act like electron guns: when subjected to an electric field, they emit electrons. So grouping the
