Abstract: A flat panel display and a method for forming a flat panel display. In one embodiment, the flat panel display includes a cathodic structure which is formed within an active area on a backplate. The cathodic structure includes a row metal composed of strips of aluminum overlain by a layer of cladding material. The use of aluminum and cladding material to form row metal gives row metal segments which are highly conductive due to the high conductivity of aluminum. By using a suitable cladding material and processing steps, a bond between the aluminum and the cladding material is formed which has good electrical conductivity. In one embodiment, tantalum is used as a cladding material. Tantalum forms a bond with the overlying resistive layer which has good electrical conductivity. Thus, the resulting structure has very high electrical conductivity through the aluminum layer and high conductivity into the resistive layer.

Abstract: A field emission device is disclosed having a buffer layer positioned between an underlying cathode conductive layer and an overlying resistor layer. The buffer layer consists of substantially undoped amorphous silicon. Any pinhole defects or discontinuities that extend through the resistor layer terminate at the buffer layer, thereby preventing the problems otherwise caused by pinhole defects. In particular, the buffer layer prevents breakdown of the resistor layer, thereby reducing the possibility of short circuiting. The buffer layer further reduces the risk of delamination of various layers or other irregularities arising from subsequent processing steps. Also disclosed are methods of making and using the field emission device having the buffer layer.

Abstract: A process for producing a field emitter flat display includes providing a supported porous layer of a non-evaporable getter material by depositing the non-evaporable getter material on a substrate followed by sintering the deposited material. The substrate having the porous layer of non-evaporable getter material thereon is then housed in an inner space defined by opposing plates. The inner space is then evacuated and hermetically sealed. The non-evaporable getter material is preferably deposited by preparing a suspension of non-evaporable getter material particles in a suspending medium, coating a surface of a substrate with the suspension by, e.g., spraying, and sintering the coating.

Abstract: MUX and DEMUX circuits using a photo gate transistor having a pair of thin film electrodes respectively serving as emission and collector electrodes. When photons with at least critical energy are irradiated onto the emission electrode, electrons are emitted from the emission electrode, so that the associated photo gate transistor can carry out a gating operation. The MUX circuit divides a plurality of electrical signals in a time division manner so that the transmission of those signals can be carried out through a single transmission line. The DEMUX circuit recovers an original signal from signals transmitted in a time division manner via a single transmission line. Input signals are received to emission electrodes while being limited in voltage level by input resistor pairs. An optical source irradiates photons to an emission electrode in sync with the application of an input signal. By the irradiation of photons, the emission electrode emits electrons which are transmitted to a collector electrode. As a result, output voltage is output. The output voltage corresponds to the quantity of current of the transmitted signal which is determined by an output resistor in accordance with voltage from a voltage source and the intensity of the irradiated photons.
