Abstract: A method is provided for fabricating a display cathode which includes forming a conductive line adjacent a face of a substrate. A region of amorphic diamond is formed adjacent a selected portion of the conductive line. The figure is an enlarged exploded cross-sectional view of a diode display unit (10) which includes two primary components: cathode plate (12) and anode plate (14). A vacuum is maintained between the plates by a seal (16). Regularly spaced pillars (26) separate cathode plate (12) and anode plate (14). A plurality of low effective work-function emitter areas (24) are formed by respective layers of amorphic diamond along conductive lines (20) disposed on substrate (18). A layer (34) of photo-emitting material is formed along transparent conductive lines (30) which are disposed upon substrate (28). Enlarge pads or leads (32) allow connection to an external signal source.
