Abstract: A field emission device (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) includes a substrate (110, 210, 310, 410, 510), a cathode (115, 215, 315, 415, 515) formed thereon, a plurality of electron emitters (170, 270, 370, 470, 570) and a plurality of gate electrodes (150, 250, 350, 450, 550) proximately disposed to the plurality of electron emitters (170, 270, 370, 470, 570) for effecting electron emission therefrom, a dielectric layer (140, 240, 340, 440, 540) having a major surface (143, 243, 343, 443, 543), a surface passivation layer (190, 290, 390, 490, 590) formed on the major surface (143, 243, 343, 443, 543), and an anode (180, 280, 380, 480, 580) spaced from the gate electrodes (250, 350, 450, 550).
