Abstract:
A flat panel display and a method for forming a flat panel display. In one embodiment, the flat panel display includes a cathodic structure which is formed within an active area on a backplate (100). The cathodic structure includes a emitter electrode metal (102) composed of strips of aluminum overlain by a layer of cladding material.
Abstract:
An electroplated structure for a field emission display device and method for forming an electroplated structure for a field emission display device are disclosed. In one embodiment, a molded structure (102) is formed over selected portions of a flat panel display device (100). An electroplating seed layer (108) is then formed over the molded structure (102). After the deposition of the electroplating seed layer, a material (112) is electroplated onto portions of the electroplating seed layer (108) such that an electroplated structure is formed at desired regions of the flat panel display device (100). In such an embodiment, the present invention provides an electroplated structure (112) which contains substantially no polyimide material. As a result, the present embodiment eliminates the cost and production of outgassed contaminants associated with prior art structures.

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. 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.
