This invention relates to a process for preparing a substrate-supported aligned carbon nanotube film including: synthesizing a layer of aligned carbon nanotubes on the substrate capable of supporting nanotube growth, applying a layer of a second substrate to a top surface of aligned carbon nanotube layer, removing said substrate capable of supporting nanotube growth to provide an aligned carbon nanotube film supported on said second substrate.

Particles, which may include nanoparticles, are mixed with carbon nanotubes and deposited on a substrate to form a cold cathode. The particles enhance the field emission characteristics of the carbon nanotubes. An additional activation step may be performed on the deposited carbon nanotube mixture to further enhance the emission of electrons.

A pixel element for field emission display includes a sealed container having a light permeable portion, an anode, a cathode, a phosphor layer formed on an end surface of the anode, and a CNT string electrically connected to and in contact with the cathode with an emission portion of the CNT string suspending. The phosphor layer is opposite to the light permeable portion, and the emission portion is corresponding to the phosphor layer. Some of CNT bundles in the CNT string are taller than and project over the adjacent CNT bundles, and each of projecting CNT bundles functions as an electron emitter. The anode, the cathode, the phosphor layer and the CNT string are enclosed in the sealed container. The luminance of the pixel element is enhanced at a relatively low voltage.

A purification method for a carbon material containing carbon nanotubes is provided, which satisfies the following requirements: The method should prevent carbon nanotubes from being damaged, broken or flocculated; the method should be capable of removing the catalyst metal and carbon components other than the carbon nanotubes; and the method should be applicable to not only multi-walled carbon nanotubes but also single-walled carbon nanotubes which will undergo significant structural changes when heated to 1400° C. or higher temperatures. The method is characterized by including a carbon material preparation process for preparing a carbon material containing carbon nanotubes by an arc discharge method, using an anode made of a material containing at least carbon and a catalyst metal; and a halogen treatment process for bringing the carbon material into contact with a gas containing a halogen and/or halogen compound.
摘要:
Described is a method for preparation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with medium to low-site density growth for use in field emission devices (FEDs). The method involves the deposition of a non-catalytic metal layer (interlayer), preferably a metallic conductor, onto the surface of a substrate, prior to the deposition of a catalytic layer (overlayer). The interlayer allows for only partial (sparse) growth of CNTs on the substrate, and helps to prevent resist layer “lift-off” when photolithographic processing is employed.

An electron emission device includes a base substrate and first electrodes formed on the base substrate in one direction. Second electrodes are formed on the base substrate in the one direction and spaced apart from the first electrodes by a predetermined interval and parallel to each other. First electron emission layers are formed on the first electrodes. Second electron emission layers are formed on the second electrodes. The interval between adjacent first and second electrodes is substantially equal to an interval between adjacent first and second electron emission layers.
