I had studied the early scanning disc TV's, but never heard of this improvement until now. The early sets had terriblely poor resolution as they could only have 60(I think) holes in the disc which meant 60 lines instead of the 525 lines the standard we had prior to HDTV which has even more resoluton. What made the low res even tolerable was the fact that the early sets were only about 5 or six inches in size. Even then, the image was very fuzzy and orange the color of the neon tube that was used. I would be amazed if even with the improvements outlined in the patent could make an acceptable picture on a ten foot screen. BTW, the Google Patent is another example of the unlimited possibilities of the internet! Thanks, Firebrand. That’s quite remarkable!

Pictures of neon arc tubes and the mention of special scanning disks don't tell us anything.
