Abstract: A field emission display (100) includes a cathode plate (102) having a plurality of electron emitters (124), an anode plate (104) opposing the cathode plate (102), and a bulk-resistive spacer (108) extending between the anode plate (104) and the cathode plate (102). The bulk-resistive spacer (108) is made from an electrically conductive material. The resistivity of the electrically conductive material is selected to remove impinging charges while preventing excessive power loss due to electrical current through the bulk-resistive spacer (108) from the anode plate (104) to the cathode plate (102).

Abstract: A flat panel display (300) having a faceplate structure (320), a backplate structure (330), a focusing structure (333a), and a plurality of spacers (340). The backplate structure includes an electron emitting structure (332) which faces the faceplate structure. The focusing structure has a first surface which is located on the electron emitting structure, and a second surface which extends away from the electron emitting structure. The electrical end of the combination of the focusing structure and the electron emitting structure is located at an imaginary plane located intermediate the first and second surfaces of the focusing structure. The spacers are located between the focusing structure and the light emitting structure. Each spacer is located within a corresponding groove in the focusing structure such that the electrical end of each spacer is located coincident with the electrical end of the combination of the focusing structure and the electron emitting structure.

Abstract: The intensity at which electrons emitted by a first plate structure (10) in a flat-panel display strike a second plate structure (12) for causing it to emit light is controlled so as to reduce image degradation that could otherwise arise from undesired electron-trajectory changes caused by effects such as the presence of a spacer system (14) between the plate structures. An electron-emissive region (20) in the first plate structure typically contains multiple laterally separated electron-emissive portions (201 and 202) for selectively emitting electrons. An electron-focusing system in the first plate structure has corresponding focus openings (40P1 and 40P2) through which electrons emitted by the electron-emissive portions respectively pass. Upon being struck by the so-emitted electrons, a light-emissive region (22) in the second plate structure emits light to produce at least part of a dot of the display's image.

Abstract: The intensity at which electrons emitted by a first plate structure (10) in a slat-panel display strike a second plate structure (12) for causing it to emit light is controlled so as to reduce image degradation that could otherwise arise from undesired electron-trajectory changes caused by effects such as the presence of a spacer system (14) between the plate structures. An electron-emissive region (20) in the first plate structure typically contains multiple laterally separated electron-emissive portions (201 and 202) for selectively emitting electrons. An electron-focusing system in the first plate structure has corresponding focus openings (40p1 and 40p2) through which electrons emitted by the electron-emissive portions respectively pass.
