    摘要: A field emission type display device capable of preventing a variation in luminance of the display device due to a variation in ambient temperature. A resistive layer is formed on cathode electrodes arranged in a display region and conical emitters are arranged on the resistive layer. The resistive layer is made of a semiconductor material, resulting in being varied in resistance depending on a temperature. A monitor resistive pattern made of the same material as the resistive layer is arranged so as to measure the resistance variation in the form of a voltage variation through an OP amplifier 11, which is then fed to the control circuit. The control circuit controls a gate voltage depending on the resistance to prevent a variation in luminance of the display device.

    摘要: A gated electron-emitter is fabricated according to the process in which charged particles are directed towards a track-susceptible layer (48) to form charged-particle tracks (50B.sub.1) through the track-susceptible layer. Apertures (52.sub.1) are formed through the track-susceptible layer by etching along the charged-particle tracks. A gate layer (46) is etched through the apertures to form gate openings (54.sub.1) through the gate layer. An insulating layer (24) is etched through the gate openings to form dielectric open spaces (56.sub.1, 94.sub.1, 106.sub.1, or 114.sub.1) through the insulating layer down to a resistive layer (22B) of an underlying conductive region (22). Electron-emissive elements (30B, 30/88D.sub.1, 98/102.sub.1, or 118.sub.1) are formed in the dielectric open spaces over the resistive layer.

    摘要: A cold cathode structure, useful for field emission displays, is disclosed. A thin resistive silicon film is disposed on a glass substrate; conductive emitter tips are disposed on top thereof. An alloy of amorphous silicon and amorphous carbon is used for the emitter tips. The proportion of the carbon in the alloy increases, gradually or abruptly, from the base to the top of the emitter tips. The carbon gradient is implemented during the process step, in which an n-type silicon layer is formed from which the emitter tips are made in subsequent masking and etching steps. The amount of carbon makes the emitter tips harder and gives lower work function at greater stability. Moreover, the carbon gradient allows for additional sharpening of the emitter tips.

    摘要: Applicants have discovered methods for making, treating and using diamonds which substantially enhance their capability for low voltage emission. Specifically, applicants have discovered that defect-rich diamonds--diamonds grown or treated to increase the concentration of defects--have enhanced properties of low voltage emission. Defect-rich diamonds are characterized in Raman spectroscopy by a diamond peak at 1332 cm.sup.-1 broadened by a full width at half maximum .DELTA.K in the range 5-15 cm.sup.-1 (and preferably 7-11 cm.sup.-1). Such defect-rich diamonds can emit electron current densities of 0.1 mA/mm.sup.2 or more at a low applied field of 25 V/.mu.m or less. Particularly advantageous structures use such diamonds in an array of islands or particles each less than 10 .mu.m in diameter at fields of 15 V/.mu.m or less.
