"If this technology was as great as this inventor says it is then this would have been marketable on a consumer scale years ago."

What a dumb@$$ statement! Ever hear of "research and development"?

LCD technology was many years old when we (at TI) decided to market the first electronic watches - with LED displays. (Remember "Push the button to see the time in dim red numbers"?)

We made that choice because the LCD displays in the mid 70's were unreliable, low contrast, ugly crap. We also sold computers with CRT displays...

Now, LCDs have had the benefit of decades of R&D.

Is that a CRT you are looking at -- right now?

You obviously didn't watch the program. Nobody said the technology wasn't great, what was said is, “If this (meaning his) technology was as great as this inventor says it is then this would have been marketable on a consumer scale years ago”.

In other words, this inventor is pumping up his invention way beyond what its capabilities really are.

You can buy into this company if you want but after watching the segment I believe it's either a pipe-dream or a scam.
