Candescent? A friend of mine worked there. The technology looked amazing. I wonder what modern laptops would look like if they had made it to mass production.

Different company, Telegen Display Labs.

LCDs were a thing (tho they were not great back then) and Plasma was the new hotness ( literally, they required external cooling units). The market for a thin, flat "CRT" like display was in extreme hot or cold environments, aviation, marine, stuff like that.

I heard they actually built one, but I never saw it. I was gone as soon as my paycheck bounced. This place was actual crazy. All sorts of bizarre shenanigans.
