Abstract: A multi-level matrix structure (100) for retaining a support structure within a flat panel display device. In one embodiment, the multi-level matrix structure (100) is comprised of first parallel ridges (102). The multi-level matrix structure (100) further includes second parallel ridges (104). The second parallel ridges (104) are oriented substantially orthogonally with respect to the first parallel ridges (102). In this embodiment, the second parallel ridges (104) have a height which is greater than the height of the first parallel ridges (102). Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second plurality of parallel spaced apart ridges (104) include contact portions (106) for retaining a support structure at a desired location within a flat panel display device. Hence, when a support structure is inserted between at least two of the contact portions (106) of the multi-level support structure (100), the support structure is retained in place, at a desired location within the flat panel display device, by the contact portions (106).

Abstract: Multiple procedures are presented for removing contaminant material (12) from electron-emissive elements (10) of an electron-emitting device (30). One procedure involves converting the contaminant material into gaseous products (14), typically by operating the electron-emissive elements, that move away from the electron-emissive elements. Another procedure entails converting the contaminant material into further material (16) and removing the further material. An additional procedure involves forming surface coatings (18 or 20) over the electron-emissive elements. The contaminant material is then removed directly from the surface coatings or by removing at least part of each surface coating.

Abstract: A liquid chemical formulation suitable for making a thin solid polycarbonate film contains polycarbonate material and a liquid typically capable of dissolving the polycarbonate to a concentration of at least 1 %. The liquid also typically has a boiling point of at least 80 DEG C. Examples of the liquid include pyridine, a ring-substituted pyridine derivative, pyrrole, a ring-substituted pyrrole derivative, pyrrolidine, a pyrrolidine derivative, chlorobenzene, and cyclohexanone. A liquid film (36A) of the liquid chemical formulation is formed over a substructure (30) and processed to remove the liquid. In subsequent steps, the resultant solid polycarbonate film can serve as a track layer through which charged particles (70) are passed to form charged-particle tracks (72). Apertures (74) are created through the track layer by a process that entails etching along the tracks. The aperture-containing polycarbonate track layer is typically employed in fabricating a gated electron-emitting device.

Abstract: Openings are created in a structure by a process in which a plate (20) is furnished with a sacrificial patterned masking layer divided into multiple laterally separated mask portions (22A). A primary layer of actinic material (28) is provided over the masking layer and in the space between the mask portions. Material of the primary layer that is not shadowed by a mask formed with the mask portions is backside exposed to actinic radiation (30). Material of the primary layer not exposed to the radiation is removed. Segments of the masking layer not covered by exposed material of the primary layer are then removed. Consequently, openings extend through the primary layer where the segments of the masking layer have been removed. The process is typically employed in forming an optical device such as a flat-panel cathode-ray tube display in which the openings in the primary layer receive light-emissive material.

Abstract: A method for forming a field emitter structure. In one embodiment, the present invention creates a structure having a cavity formed into an insulating layer overlying a first electrically conductive layer. The present invention also creates a second electrically conductive layer with an opening formed above the cavity in the insulating layer. The present embodiment deposits a layer of electron emissive material directly onto the second electrically conductive layer without first depositing an underlying lift-off layer such that the electron emissive material covers the opening in the second electrically conductive layer and forms an electron emissive element within the cavity. The present invention applies a first potential to the first electrically conductive layer, such that the first potential is imparted to the electron emissive element formed within the cavity. The present invention also applies a second potential to the second electrically conductive layer, such that the second potential is imparted to the closure layer of electron emissive material. In the present embodiment, the second potential comprises an open circuit potential. The present invention then exposes the field emitter structure to an electrochemical etchant wherein the electrochemical etchant etches electron emissive material which is biased at the open circuit potential. In so doing, the layer of electron emissive material is removed from above the second electrically conductive layer without etching the electron emissive element formed within the cavity.

Abstract: A component of a flat-panel display is cleaned with a fluid having a mole-fraction dominant constituent. The cleaning operation is performed by subjecting the component to the cleaning fluid while its absolute pressure exceeds the absolute pressure at the triple point of the dominant constituent and is at least 20 % of the absolute pressure value at the critical point of the dominant constituent. The temperature and pressure of the cleaning fluid are typically controlled in a direction toward the supercritical state of the dominant constituent.
