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:
According to the invention, a flat panel device includes a faceplate, a backplate made of a co-fired ceramic substrate and attached to the faceplate to form a sealed enclosure, and structure for producing light. The faceplate includes an active region. The light producing structure is divided into a matrix of "display elements," or a plurality of "light producing elements." Driver circuitry is formed on or attached to a surface of the backplate. The driver circuitry is connected to the display elements or light producing elements by electrically conductive vias formed entirely or partially through or within the ceramic substrate, and electrically conductive traces formed within or on one or more surfaces of the ceramic substrate. Each of the display elements or light producing elements is controlled by the driver circuitry to cause light emission at a corresponding pixel or pixels of the faceplate active region.

An object of the present invention is to provide a cathodluminescent apparatus, which is capable of adjusting brightness and which is less expensive and economical, and a phosphor powder for the same. The apparatus comprises: a line electron gun having a line cathode and an intermediate electrode, which is capable of extracting electrons from the line cathode, of linearly focusing electrons extracted and of reciprocatively scanning electrons focused; an anode for accelerating electrons emitted from the line electron gun, the anode having an electric conductive section formed on a substrate; a phosphor screen being made of phosphor particles on the electric conductive section; and a container being evacuated to a vacuum for cathodluminescence. The phosphor powder suitably used for the above-described cathodluminescent apparatus should be composed of primary particles of Y.sub.2 O.sub.2 S polycrystal which are almost spherical with their surfaces formed rough.

This invention is about new cathode structures involving the FEAs (field emitter arrays) and the application of these new cathode structures in EFD (Electron Fluorescent Display), EFLCD (Electron Fluorescent Liquid Crystal Display) and MFD (Microtip Fluorescent Display) type direct matrix addressed type display. One aspect of this invention is related to eliminating the difficulty large area FEA cathode manufacturing by combining the control apparatus of EFD and EFLCD with the efficient electron emission process of the FEA. The second aspect of this invention is related to the employment of local embedded circuit components to help enhancing the uniformity of the electron emitting process of FEA. The preferred embodiments of the invented cathode structure in EFD or EFLCD employ multiple pieces of field emitter arrays sparsely disposed inside a vacuum chamber to generate the electron clouds which is then accelerated and controlled by other control means of EFD or EFLCD structures. The preferred embodiments of the invented cathode structure in MFD variety devices provides the benefit of improved the uniformity, lower the control voltage range and increased duty factor independent by employing various local control circuit configuration in the FEA cathodes.
