Abstract: A flat-panel cathode-ray tube display contains electron-emissive regions (54) spaced non-uniformly apart from one another in a line of the electron-emissive regions so as to better utilize the space where the electron-emissive regions are located. Alternatively or additionally, electron focusing can be appropriately made more concentrated by implementing each electron-emissive region as two or more portions 54A-54F) situated suitably with respect to openings (86A-86F) in an electron-focusing system (76).

Abstract: A light-emitting device (42, 68, 80, 90, or 100) suitable for a flat-panel CRT display contains a plate (54), a light-emissive region (56), a light-blocking region (58), and a light-reflective layer (60 or 70). The light-emitting device achieves one or more of the following characteristics by suitably implementing the light-reflective layer or/and providing one or more layers (72, 82, 92, and 100) along the light-reflective layer: (a) reduced electron energy loss as electrons pass through the light-reflective layer, (b) gettering along the light-reflective layer, (c) reduced secondary electron emission along the light-reflective layer, (d) reduced electron backscattering along the light-reflective layer, and (e) reduced chemical reactivity along the light-reflective layer.

Abstract: Methods for compensating for brightness variations in a field emission device. In one embodiment, a method and system are described for measuring the relative brightness of rows of a field emission display (FED) device, storing information representing the measured brightness into a correction table and using the correction table to provide uniform row brightness in the display by adjusting row voltages and/or row on-time periods. A special measurement process is described for providing accurate current measurements on the rows. This embodiment compensates for brightness variations of the rows, e.g., for rows near the spacer walls. In another embodiment, a periodic signal, e.g., a high frequency noise signal, is added to the row on-time pulse in order to camouflage brightness variations in the rows near the spacer walls. In another embodiment, the area under the row on-time pulse is adjusted to provide row-by-row brightness compensation based on correction values stored in a memory resident correction table. In another embodiment, the brightness of each row is measured and compiled into a data profile for the FED. The data profile is used to control cathode burn-in processes so that brightness variations are corrected by physically altering the characteristics of the emitters of the rows.
