Abstract:
Provided is a method for manufacturing a field emission array with a carbon microstructure. The method includes: a photomask attachment step of attaching a photomask with a pattern groove to one surface of a transparent substrate; a photoresist attachment step of attaching a negative photoresist to one surface of the photomask; an exposure step of irradiating light toward the opposite surface of the transparent substrate from the photomask to cure a portion of the negative photoresist with the light irradiated on the negative photoresist through the pattern groove; a developing step of removing an uncured portion of the negative photoresist while leaving the cured portion of the negative photoresist as a microstructure; a pyrolysis step of heating and carbonizing the microstructure thus obtained; and a cathode attachment step of attaching a voltage-supplying cathode to the surface of the transparent substrate on which the microstructure is formed.

Abstract:
Electron emission devices include first electrodes on a substrate extending in a first direction and spaced apart from each other. Second electrodes are on the substrate alternating between the first electrodes and extending in a second direction opposing the first direction. First electron emitters and second electron emitters are on side surfaces of the first electrodes and the second electrodes, respectively. Gaps are formed between the first electron emitters and second electron emitters.
Abstract:
A field emission device (10) includes a sealed container (11) with a light-permeable portion (12). A phosphor layer (13) is formed on the light-permeable portion. A light-permeable anode (14) is formed on the light-permeable portion. At least one cathode is positioned opposite to the light-permeable anode. A shielding barrel (16) is electrically connected to the at least one cathode and disposed in the container. The shielding barrel has opposite open ends respectively facing towards the light-permeable anode and the cathode (18, 19). The shielding barrel has an inner surface, and a slurry layer (17) containing conductive nano material is formed on the inner surface of the shielding barrel.
Abstract:
Carbon nanotubes and metal particle-containing carbon nanotubes are provided. The carbon nanotubes have increased surface area. A method of cutting carbon nanotubes is also provided. According to the method, the dispersion properties of the carbon nanotubes are improved by simplifying the structural changes and/or surface modifications of the carbon nanotubes, thereby enabling insertion of an active substance into the inner walls of the carbon nanotubes and increasing the insertion efficiency.
Abstract:
A carbon film used for a field emission cathode comprises a layer of thin carbon film on a substrate. With 244 nm and 2-7 mW excitation, and within the wave number from 1100 to 1850 cm.sup.-1, the carbon film has a distinct UV Raman band in the range from 1578 cm.sup.-1 to 1620 cm.sup.-1 with a full width at half maximum from 25 to 165 cm.sup.-1. The carbon film can be deposited by chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, electrolysis, printing or painting, and can be continuous or noncontinuous.
