    Abstract: This method produces a field emitter material having a uniform electron emitting surface and a low turn-on voltage. Field emitter materials having uniform electron emitting surfaces as large as 1 square meter and turn-on voltages as low as 16V/.mu.m can be produced from films of electron emitting materials such as polycrystalline diamond, diamond-like carbon, graphite and amorphous carbon by the method of the present invention. The process involves conditioning the surface of a field emitter material by applying an electric field to the surface, preferably by scanning the surface of the field emitter material with an electrode maintained at a fixed distance of at least 3 .mu.m above the surface of the field emitter material and at a voltage of at least 500V. In order to enhance the uniformity of electron emission the step of conditioning can be preceeded by ion implanting carbon, nitrogen, argon, oxygen or hydrogen into the surface layers of the field emitter material.

    Abstract: In accordance with the invention, a microwave vacuum tube device, such as a traveling wave tube, is provided with an electron source comprising activated ultrafine diamonds. Applicants have discovered that ultrafine diamonds (5-1,000 nm diameter), when activated by heat treatment in a hydrogen plasma, become excellent room-temperature electron emitters capable of producing electron emission current density of at least 10 mA/cm.sup.2 at low electric fields of 10 V/micrometer. Sources using these diamonds provide electrons for microwave vacuum tubes at low voltage, low operating temperature and with fast turn-on characteristics. A multiple grid structure is described for providing high quality electron beams particularly useful for traveling wave tubes.

    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: The present invention provides improved methods for making field emission devices by which one can pre-deposit and bond the diamond particles or islands on a flexible metal foil at a desirably high temperature (e.g., near 900.degree. C. or higher), and then subsequently attach the high-quality- emitter-coated conductor foil onto the glass substrate. In addition to maximizing the field emitter properties, these methods provide high-speed, low-cost manufacturing. Since the field emitters can be pre-deposited on the metal foil in the form of long continuous sheet wound as a roll, the cathode assembly can be made by a high-speed, automated bonding process without having to subject each of the emitter-coated glass substrates to plasma heat treatment in a vacuum chamber.
