Abstract:
A display device has an array formed on a substrate including a cathode wiring line layer, a gate wiring line layer and an insulating layer for electrically insulating the cathode wiring line layer and the gate wiring line layer from each other. Holes are formed at the crossing portion between the cathode wiring line layer and the gate wiring line layer so as to penetrate through the insulating layer, and resistive layer and an emitter layer are provided in the holes. The resistive layer has such a structure that conductive fine particles are dispersed in a base material of insulating fine particles, and the emitter layer is formed of a fine particle material. The insulating layer between the cathode electrode lines and the gate electrodes is formed of a silicon oxide film containing fluorine. When a large number of elements are formed over a large area in an electron emission device using fine particle emitters, there can be provided electron emission elements which can suppress the unevenness of the electron emission amount. According to the present invention, there can be provided a large-area and uniform display device which can be operated with a low driving voltage, and have a long lifetime.

A funnel-shaped chip tube and a tubular-shaped press frit are prepared. After the chip tube is disposed on a major surface of a substrate so that the center axis of an exhaust hole provided in the substrate of a sealed container body and the center axis of the chip tube may substantially coincide with each other, the press frit is so disposed as to be located on a surface of an opening portion. After that, by heating the whole device, the press frit is heated and melted, to provide a sealing member contiguously from an outer-rim outside portion of the flare-shaped opening portion of the chip tube to a portion of a tubular portion beyond a boundary.

Abstract:
A method for producing a picture display device is disclosed. A glass tube is placed in an opening area of the through-hole formed at a pre-set position of a first substrate of a hermetically sealed assembly comprised of the first substrate and a plate element spaced apart from the first substrate a pre-set distance, with the perimetral area of the resulting assembly being sealed with a sealant to provide a hermetically sealed assembly. A calcined solid frit held by a holding member is placed in the vicinity of a bond of the glass tube to the through-hole in the glass tube, and the inside of the hermetically sealed assembly is evacuated via the glass tube. A pre-set portion of the glass tube is radially compressed to form a constricted portion, with the calcined solid frit being left between the constricted portion and the opening area of the through-hole. The calcined solid frit is moved to the constricted portion of the glass tube. A gas is then charged into the gap between the first substrate and the plate member via the glass tube and the calcined solid frit in the constricted portion in the glass tube is melted and solidified for hermetically sealing the constricted portion. This effectively seals the glass tube by stopping with the frit material.

A flat panel display and a method for forming a flat panel display. In one embodiment, the flat panel display includes a wall which is held in place by a structure formed either on the faceplate or on the backplate. In one embodiment the supporting structure is formed by two adjacent walls that form a slot which mechanically restrains the wall. In another embodiment a slot is formed within the faceplate and the walls of the slot mechanically restrain the wall. In one embodiment wall segments are inserted into supporting structures that mechanically restrain each wall segment. In another embodiment a UV curable or a heat curable adhesive is used to maintain walls in their proper alignment and position. In yet another embodiment a conductive material is melted so as to bond conductive lines located on the wall and conductive lines located on the faceplate. This bond electrically connects the conductive lines located on the wall and the conductive lines located on the faceplate and maintains the wall in the proper alignment. The present invention eliminates the need for feet which attach to individual walls for maintaining the walls in the proper alignment.

Abstract:
A PDP does not suffer from dielectric breakdown even though a dielectric layer is thin, with the problems of conventional PDPs, such as cracks appearing in the glass substrates during the production of the PDP being avoided. To do so, the surface of silver electrodes of the PDP is coated with a 0.1-10 &mgr;m layer of a metallic oxide, on whose surface OH groups exist, such as ZnO, ZrO2, MgO, TiO2, Al2O3, and Cr2O3. The metallic oxide layer is then coated with the dielectric layer. It is preferable to form the metallic oxide layer with the CVD method. The surface of a metallic electrode can be coated with a metallic oxide, which is then coated with a dielectric layer. The dielectric layer can be made of a metallic oxide with a vacuum process method or the plasma thermal spraying method. The dielectric layer formed on electrodes with the CVD method is remarkably thin and flawless. When the dielectric layer is formed with the vacuum process method or the plasma spraying method, warping and cracks conventionally caused by baking the dielectric layer are prevented. Here, borosilicate glass including 6.5% or less by weight of alkali can be used as the glass substrate.
