摘要:
A diffraction grating can be tuned by varying the spacing of the rows of the diffraction grating. The diffraction grating is comprised of rows of an electrically conductive material disposed on a deformable material. The deformable material is transparent to a light of numerous wavelengths. A means for applying a voltage on the rows of the electrically conductive material is provided to change the spacing of the rows, thus changing which wavelength of light is diffracted.

An electron emitter formed with a layer of diamond-like carbon having a diamond bond structure with an electrically active defect at an emission site. The electrically active defect acts like a very thin electron emitter with a very low work function and improved current characteristics, including an improved saturation current.

摘要:
A field emission device (10) has a gate (17) including an opening (22) for the communication of electrons from an emitter (14) to an anode (16). A resistive layer (18) is disposed at least on the inner surface (23) of the gate (17) surrounding the opening (22). The field emission device (10) may further include an insulating, dielectric layer (19). The resistive layer (18) and the dielectric layer (19) reduce arcing between the emitter (14) and the gate (17) in the field emission device (10).

A field emission display includes an insulating layer and an emitting layer disposed on the faceplate. A vacuum chamber is disposed between a backplane and the emitting layer and contains a getter. Apertures are defined through the insulating layer and the emitting layer for communicating contaminates from the faceplate to the vacuum chamber.

摘要:
A field emission electron emitter employing a coating of diamond material disposed on a surface of a layer of conductive/semiconductive material is constructed by a method including the steps of implanting carbon ions at a surface of a selectively shaped substrate to function as nucleation sites for the diamond formation. A conductive layer is deposited over the diamond and the substrate is removed to leave an electron emitter with a diamond coating.
