摘要:
A structure comprising: a plate (40); an electron emissive element (104) overlying the plate; a support region (102,108) overlying the plate; and a getter region (112) overlying at least part of the support region, a composite opening extending through the getter region and through the support region generally laterally where the electron-emissive element overlies the plate.
摘要:
A flat-panel device comprising: a main compartment formed with a first plate structure, a second plate structure, and a generally annular outer wall that extends between the plate structures; an auxiliary compartment situated outside the main compartment, the auxiliary compartment formed with an auxiliary wall that contacts the first plate structure outside the main compartment, extends away from the first plate structure and main compartment, bends back towards the second plate structure, and contacts the second, plate structure outside the main compartment, the auxiliary compartment connected pressure-wise to the main compartment so that the two compartments reach largely equal steady-state compartment pressures; a getter situated in the auxiliary compartment; and control circuitry situated over the first plate structure outside the compartments, the auxiliary wall not extending significantly further away from the first plate structure than the control circuitry.
摘要:
A field emission display (200) comprises a plurality of row lines (230), a plurality of column lines (250), and a pluraliy of electron emissive elements (40) disposed at intersections of the plurality of row lines (230) and column lines (250), a column driver circuit (240) and a row driver circuit (220). The coumn driver circuit (240) is coupled to drive column voltage signals over the plurality of column lines (250); and the row driver circuit (220) is coupled to activate and deactivate the plurality of row lines (230) with row voltage signals. Operation life of the field emission display is extended when the electron emissive elements are intermittently reverse-biased by the column voltage signals and the row voltage signals.
