Abstract: A field emission source for electrons as a field emission cathode is described. The field emission cathode is an ensemble of stochastically distributed field emission structures/peaks of freestanding nanowires or nanowire bundles formed thereof made of electrochemically precipitable metal materials. The field emission structures of the field emission cathode are dense at 103 to 109 cm-2. The individual emission structure is located at an average distance of 0.1 to 50 μm from the adjacent emission structures, the diameter d of the nanowires is in the range of 10 nm to 10 μm, and the height h of the nanowires is in the range of 1 to 100 μ. The field emission cathode emits via at least one emission peak of the ensemble of field emission structures. If one of the field emission structures fails, another field emission structure assumes the emission, or the other field emission structures assume the emission, providing useful redundancy. The two-dimensional, homogeneous emission via a central region of the emission cathode is adjustable.

Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing a carbon nano-tube (CNT) for a field emission device (FED) into which a nano-sized metal particle is added to thereby highly increase reliability of an electron emission source ("emitter").
The method of manufacturing a CNT emitter includes the steps of: (a) dispersing a CNT powder, an organic binder, a photosensitive material, a monomer, and a nano-sized metal particle in a solvent to thereby manufacture a CNT paste; (b) coating the CNT paste onto an electrode formed over a substrate; (c) exposing the CNT paste coated on the electrode to thereby perform fine-patterning; (d) plasticizing the finely patterned CNT paste; and (e) processing a surface of the CNT paste such that the surface of the plasticized CNT paste is activated.
According to the above configuration, the CNT emitter can be finely patterned to several µm. Also, since a plurality of CNT emitter regions may be formed within a single pixel, uniformity of the electron emission can be improved. In addition, the nano-sized metal particle is added as a metal filler of the CNT paste, so that the metal can be melted at a low temperature where the CNT does not deteriorate. Furthermore, adhesion to a cathode electrode of the CNT is enhanced, so that the reliability of the CNT emitter can be improved.

Abstract: Provided are an electron emission source, a display apparatus using the same, an electronic device, and a method of manufacturing the display apparatus. The electron emission source includes a substrate, a cathode separately manufactured from the substrate, and a needle-shaped electron emission material layer, e.g., carbon nanotube (CNT) layer, fixed to the cathode by an adhesive layer. The CNT layer is formed by a suspension filtering method, and electron emission density is increased by a subsequent taping process on the electron emission material layer.

Abstract: The invention provides an electron source suitable for use in a charged-particle apparatus, in which source a beam of electrons can be extracted from an electrode that is subjected to at least one of an electric potential, thermal excitation and photonic excitation, whereby at least part of the electrode comprises semiconductor material having a conduction band that is quantized into discrete energy levels. Such a source enjoys a relatively low energy spread, typically much smaller than that of a Cold Field Emission Gun (CFEG). Said semiconductor material may, for example, comprise a semiconductor nanowire. Examples of suitable semiconductor materials for such a nanowire include InAs and GaInAs.
