The flat-screen television market will become even more competitive in 2005 as Canon Inc. plans to debut with new-generation displays.

Canon said Wednesday it planned to begin manufacturing televisions using rear projection technology--so-called third-generation display--and next-generation organic electro luminescence (OEL) displays in the second half of 2005.

The company already announced its plans to market high-resolution surface conduction electron emitter (SED) TVs, which were jointly developed with Toshiba Corp., in the latter half of 2005.
