Abstract: A novel carbon nanotube (64) is featured in that it has the highest Raman scattering intensity in the vicinity of 1580 cm−1 in its Raman spectrum. Carbon nanotubes can be grown on and from the catalytic fine particles (63) which consist of ultra-fine particles of cobalt oxide catalyst onto a substrate comprising a conductive substrate (62) and fine particles (63) of catalyst formed on a surface thereof. An electron emission device (60) so configured as to emit electrons by applying a voltage to apical ends (64a) of such carbon nanotubes (64) can be reduced in driving voltage and can achieve a current such as to emit a fluorescent material on the market for low-velocity electron beams. The electron emission device (60) needs no gate and can thus simplify the structure and reduce the cost of a surface light-emitting device for which the element is used. The carbon material remains unoxidized even in a low vacuum and thus allows realizing a light emitting device that can be paneled more easily, and is longer in operating life than those using a conventional electron emission device.

Abstract translation: 一种新型碳纳米管（64）的特征在于其拉曼光谱中在1580cm -1附近具有最高的拉曼散射强度。 碳纳米管可以在由氧化钴催化剂的超细颗粒组成的催化微粒（63）上生长到包含在其表面上形成的导电基材（62）和催化剂的细颗粒（63）的基材上。 通过向这种碳纳米管（64）的顶端（64a）施加电压而配置为发射电子的电子发射装置（60）可以降低驱动电压，并且可以实现电流，例如在 低速电子束市场。 电子发射装置（60）不需要栅极，因此可以简化结构并降低使用元件的表面发光装置的成本。 即使在低真空中，碳材料也保持未氧化，因此能够实现与使用常规的电子发射装置相比，可以更容易地镶嵌的发光装置和使用寿命更长的发光装置。
