    摘要: A method for forming a three-dimensional multi-level conductive matrix structure for a flat panel display device. In one embodiment, the present invention forms first pixel separating structures across a surface of a faceplate of a flat panel display. The first pixel separating structures separate adjacent first sub-pixel regions. In this embodiment, the first pixel separating structures are formed by applying a first layer of photo-imagable material across the surface of the faceplate. Next, portions of the first layer of photo-imagable material are removed to leave regions of the first layer of photo-imagable material covering respective first sub-pixel regions. Then, a first layer of conductive material is applied over the surface of the faceplate such that the first layer conductive material is disposed between the aforementioned regions of the first layer of photo-imagable material. The present invention then removes the regions of the first layer of photo-imagable material leaving only first pixel separating structures formed of the first layer of conductive material, disposed between the first sub-pixel regions. The present invention performs similar steps in order to form second pixel separating structures between the second sub-pixel regions. The second pixel separating structures are formed substantially orthogonally oriented with respect to the first pixel separating structures and, in the present embodiment, have a different height than the first pixel separating structures. In so doing, a three-dimensional multi-level conductive matrix structure is formed.

    摘要: A method of removing contaminant particles in newly fabricated filed emission displays. Contaminant particles are removed by a conditioning process which includes the steps of: a) driving an anode (20) of a field emission display (FED) to a predetermined voltage; b) slowly increasing an emission current of the FED after the anode has reached the predetermined voltage; and c) providing an ion-trapping device for catching the ions and particles knocked off, or otherwise released, by emitted electrons (40). By driving the anode to the predetermined voltage and by slowly increasing the emission current of the FED, contaminant particles are effectively removed without damaging the FED. A method of operating FEDs is also provided to prevent gate-to-emitter current during turn-on and turn-off, which comprises the steps of: a) enabling the anode display screen (20); and b) enabling the electron-emitters (40) after the anode display screen is enabled. By allowing sufficient time for the anode display screen to reach a predetermined voltage before the emitter is enabled, the emitted electrons (40) will be attracted to the anode (20).
