Abstract: A cold cathode structure, useful for field emission displays, is disclosed. A thin resistive silicon film is disposed on a glass substrate; conductive emitter tips are disposed on top thereof. An alloy of amorphous silicon and amorphous carbon is used for the emitter tips. The proportion of the carbon in the alloy increases, gradually or abruptly, from the base to the top of the emitter tips. The carbon gradient is implemented during the process step, in which an n-type silicon layer is formed from which the emitter tips are made in subsequent masking and etching steps. The amount of carbon makes the emitter tips harder and gives lower work function at greater stability. Moreover, the carbon gradient allows for additional sharpening of the emitter tips.

Abstract: A flat-type fluorescent display device permitting luminous display to be observed through only a front glass cover while substantially increasing luminance. A front glass cover is provided on an inner surface thereof with FECs constituted by cathode lines, insulating layers, emitters and gate lines so as to define light-permeable sections between FECs. A substrate is formed opposite to the light-permeable sections with anodes constituted by anode-lines and phosphor layers. Electrons emitted from the FECs impinge on the anodes, leading to luminescence of the phosphor layer, which is then observed through the light-permeable sections of the front glass cover.

Abstract: A cold cathode field emission display is described. A key feature of its design is that each individual microtip has its own ballast resistor. The latter is formed from a resistive layer that has been interposed between the cathode line and the substrate. When openings for the microtips are formed in the gate line, extending down as far as the resistive layer, an overetching step is introduced. This causes the dielectric layer to be substantially undercut immediately above the resistive layer thereby creating an annular resistor positioned between the gate line and the base of the microtip.

Abstract: A drive device for a field emission cathode capable of driving an image display device at a high speed while preventing leakage luminescence. A plurality of gate electrodes and cathode electrodes which are arranged in a matrix-like manner are scanned to drive an image display device. A leading edge of a drive pulse for driving the cathode electrodes in turn is defined to be a precharge period, during which a precharge pulse of a level V.sub.CH which does not permit emission of electrodes from emitter arrays is added. During the precharge, the gate electrodes are subject to blanking by a blanking pulse. This results the cathode electrodes being driven, followed by precharging, so that the cathodes may be driven at an increased speed while preventing leakage luminescence.

Abstract: An array of electrodes for use in a flat panel display includes a plurality of electron emitters formed of polycrystalline or single crystalline silicon which has been selectively etched to form pores in the emitters. The electrode array is then electroplated in a methane plasma to deposit a carbon compound such as silicon carbide on the surfaces of the emitters and in the pores of the emitters. Each emitter has a generally flat electron emitting surface which facilitates a longer life for the electrode array, the porous structure of the emitters increasing the electron emission efficiency of the emitters in relatively low electric fields. The electrode array can be integral with a support substrate by anisotropically etching the substrate to form the emitters. A layered interconnect structure can be formed on a surface of the silicon substrate for providing the interconnect structure for the electrode array.

Abstract: The present invention provides an enhanced THz electromagnetic source structure achieving a very high aspect ratio of 500 to 1 of electron beam width to electron beam thickness of the electron beam moving in the direction across the grating structure while maintaining its cross-section. The structure comprises a magnetic circuit providing a unique low magnetic field slot placed in a steel core for the placement of an electron gun, thus allowing the electron beam to he focused without the interaction of a magnetic field while still supporting a high magnetic field in the grating region. Additionally, the structure comprises an electrostatic shield preventing potential difference between the anode voltage and the grounded steel core from affecting the focusing of the electron beam.
