FED probably will be succeed LCD, The complexity of setting up a plant to manufacture them is far less than that of LCD or OLED - orders of magnitude cheaper.
These folk were making the panels with exotic materials to get a good quality picture, thus their panels were expensive.
The trick is to make the panels as cheaply as possible and make the electronics smart enough to coax a decent picture out of one. The HV nature of the drivers for these panels - 100s of volts swing on the control electrodes - precludes all but the simplest of driver arrangements until new IC processes are developed, which requires serious investment.
