Abstract:
To reuse glass used in a flat panel display, processing suitable for global environment such as processing of separating a lead component must be realized. A disassembly processing method for a flat panel display having a structure in which a face plate and rear plate mainly containing glass are airtightly joined via a frame with frit glass is characterized by including the step of separating the face plate and rear plate joined with the frit glass. The separation step is characterized by separating the face plate and rear plate by cutting, dissolution, or melting.

Abstract:
A covering layer for insulating between column wirings and device electrodes is formed in a region including each cross point of the column wirings and row wirings and under the column wirings. Thus, when an electron source plate in which a large number of electron-emitting devices are wired in passive matrix is formed, a defect resulting from an interaction between the device electrodes and the column wirings at the time of wiring formation is reduced to improve insulation reliability. Therefore, a high quality image is obtained by a large size and higher density pixel arrangement in an image-forming apparatus using the electron source plate.

A method for manufacturing electron emitting devices each having electrodes formed on a substrate and an electroconductive thin film connected between a pair of electrodes and having an electron emitting region is provided which can manufacture electron emitting devices having an excellent uniformity of electron emitting characteristics by improving the formation of liquid droplets to be dispensed to the substrate. In the manufacturing method, the substrate formed with the electrodes is subjected to a hydrophobic process using a silane coupling agent which contains two or more acetoxy groups in a molecule, and thereafter liquid droplets containing material for forming the electroconductive thin film are dispensed to the substrate. An image of excellent uniformity can be displayed by adopting electron emitting devices manufactured in the above manner to an image display apparatus.
