Abstract: A matrix addressable flat panel display includes a flat cathode operable for emitting electrons to an anode when an electric field is produced across the surface of the flat cathode by two electrodes placed on each side of the flat cathode. The flat cathode may consist of a cermet or amorphic diamond or some other combination of a conducting material and an insulating material such as a low effective work function material. The electric field produced causes electrons to hop on the surface of the cathode at the conducting-insulating interfaces. An electric field produced between the anode and the cathode causes these electrons to bombard a phosphor layer on the anode.

Abstract: A cathode structure is formed by a process in which a carbon-containing electron-emissive cathode is subjected to electronegative atoms that include oxygen and/or fluorine. The cathode is also subjected to atoms of electropositive metal, typically after being subjected to the atoms of oxygen and/or fluorine. The combination of the electropositive metal atoms and the electronegative atoms enhances the electron emissivity by reducing the work function.

Abstract: A single substrate, vacuum fluorescent display including a first layer of electrically conductive material positioned on a supporting substrate and a light emitting layer including phosphor positioned on the first layer. A second layer of electrically conductive material is supported on the substrate and electrically insulated from the first layer. An electron emitting layer of low work function material is positioned on the second layer and further positioned so that emitted electrons strike the light emitting layer. Since both the electron emitting and the light emitting layers are supported on the substrate, an encapsulating window is simple and easy to construct. Integrated drivers are optionally formed in the supporting substrate.

Abstract: A field emission device and method for manufacturing which comprises using a diffusion mask to preserve an area of a silicon substrate for use as a cathode while all around the cathode the substrate is being diffused with oxygen to form an insulating layer. And further comprising depositing a molybdenum gate electrode layer on the insulating layer and etching the molybdenum gate electrode layer such that the diffusion mask falls off and the insulating layer is dissolved around the cathode through the hole formed in the gate electrode layer by the diffusion mask being removed. The gate electrode openings are therefore automatically and independently self-aligned with their respective cathodes.

Abstract: A field emission device (1) may be used for emitting electrons in, for example, a field emission display (FED). Field emission tips (40) are used for the emitting of electrons in the field emission device (1). In operation of the field emission device (1) a voltage is applied between a first electrode (4) having electrical contact with the field emission tip (40) and a second electrode (34) to make the field emission tip (40) emit electrons. To form a field emission tip (40) a layer of liquid material is applied on a substrate (2) provided with the first electrode (4). The layer of liquid material is embossed with a patterned stamp and subsequently cured to form a field emission tip structure (20). A conductive film (38) is applied on the field emission tip structure (20) to form a field emission tip (40) that has electrical contact with the first electrode (4).
