  "term": "Surface-conduction electron-emitter display",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A type of flat-panel display technology that uses an array of microscopic electron emitters to excite phosphors and produce an image. Each emitter consists of a tiny gap in a conductive film, across which electrons are accelerated towards the screen. This technology aimed to combine the image quality of cathode ray tubes with the thin profile of flat-panel displays, though it did not achieve widespread commercial success.",
