Abstract: Display panels comprise at least one suspended fibrous cathode containing an electron field emitter. The fibrous cathode is supported by a substrate (10) containing two sets of parallel rows of crests and valleys. The first set of parallel crests (11) and valleys (12) provide the valleys along which the fibrous cathode is aligned. The second set of parallel crests (13) and valleys (14) is perpendicular to the first set. The valleys (14) provide the means for suspending the fibrous cathode.

Abstract: Strips of field emitters (30) arranged in rows overlap grid electrodes (32, 32', 32'') when viewed in the viewing direction (36) to define pixel dots. Scanning electrical voltages are applied to the rows of field emitters (30) to perform scanning and data potentials are applied to the grid electrodes (32, 32', 32'') to control the brightness of the display. Potentials applied to the grid electrodes (32, 32', 32'') also focus the electrons from the field emitters (30). A metal mesh with grid electrodes (32, 32', 32'') fabricated thereon to form an integrated structure greatly simplifies the manufacture of the display.

Abstract: A field emission display having emitters controlled by an integrated driving circuit. The field emission display includes a charge shield positioned above exposed areas of the substrate to protect driving circuitry integrated into the substrate. The charge shield is a conductive layer within an insulative layer covering the driving circuit. The charge shield is connected to ground or to a low reference potential to bleed away current within the insulative layer, thereby preventing drifting charges from affecting the electrical response of the integrated driving circuit. The charge shield also terminates electric fields within the insulative layer to reduce the effect on the integrated driving circuit of dynamic variations in surface charge. Electrical characteristics of the driving circuit thus remain constant, reducing variations in the current supplied to the emitters, thereby reducing variations in the intensity of light emitted by the display.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a field emission display is disclosed. The method includes the steps of arranging a sealing layer (4) between a face plate (2) and a substrate (6), heating the sealing layer until the sealing layer adheres to the face plate and the substrate, and then pulling the face plate away from the sealing layer so that the vacuum is improved. The sealing layer may be constructed from glass and heated with a heating coil (18) made from ni-chrome wire. The elements can be positioned using industrial robots using common manufacturing techniques.
