Abstract: A method for reducing charge accumulation in a field emission display (100) includes the steps of causing a plurality of electron emitters (114) to emit electrons (132) to reduce the potential at an anode (124) of the field emission display (100). Upon the reduction of the potential at the anode (124), the electrons (132) neutralize a positively electrostatically charged surface (129) of a spacer (130). The anode potential is dropped by providing a resistor (127) in series with a voltage source (126) connected to the anode (124). The anode potential is reduced by causing the electron emitters (114) to emit simultaneously to provide a pull-down current (128) at the anode (124). The voltage at the anode (124) is reduced to a value that causes a sufficient flux of electrons (132) to be attracted to the charged surfaces (129) for neutralizing them.

Abstract: A field emission display (100) includes a cathode plate (102) having a plurality of electron emitters (124), an anode plate (104) opposing the cathode plate (102), and a bulk-resistive spacer (108) extending between the anode plate (104) and the cathode plate (102). The bulk-resistive spacer (108) is made from an electrically conductive material. The resistivity of the electrically conductive material is selected to remove impinging charges while preventing excessive power loss due to electrical current through the bulk-resistive spacer (108) from the anode plate (104) to the cathode plate (102).

Abstract: A multi-level conductive matrix structure for separating rows and columns of sub-pixels on the faceplate of a flat panel display device. In one embodiment, the present invention is formed partially of a first plurality of conductive ridges which are disposed on the faceplate between respective adjacent rows of sub-pixel regions. The present invention is further formed of a second plurality of conductive ridges which are orthogonally oriented with respect to and integral with the first plurality of conductive ridges such that a matrix structure is formed. In the conductive matrix of the present invention, the second plurality of conductive ridges have a height which is greater than the height of the first plurality of conductive ridges such that a multi-level conductive matrix is formed. However, the height of the second plurality of conductive ridges decreases to approximately the height of the first plurality of conductive ridges at respective intersections of the first and second plurality of conductive ridges. In so doing, the present invention provides a multi-level conductive matrix for separating rows and columns of sub-pixels on the faceplate of a flat panel display device.
