Abstract: An apparatus for emitting electrons is provided. The apparatus includes a subsurface emitter having a sharp tip, a substrate including a base, and electrical continuity between the tip, the base, and an external circuit. This emitter structure may be used to form individual emitters or arrays of emitters. Also provided is a method of making electron emitters which is comprised of implanting energetic ions into a diamond lattice to form cones or other continuous regions of damaged diamond. These regions are more electrically conducting than the surrounding diamond lattice, and have locally sharp tips at or near the point of entry of the ion into the diamond. The tips may then also be additionally coated with a layer of a wide band-gap semiconductor. An electrically conducting material may also be placed in proximity to the tips to generate an electric field sufficient to extract electrons from the conducting tips into either the region above the surface, or into the wide band-gap semiconductor layer in contact with the tips. Electrical contact is made to the electrically conducting damage tracks and the electrical circuit may be completed with an electrically conducting material on the surface of the wide band-gap semiconductor or diamond, or in the ambient above the surface of the emitter. The surface of the wideband gap semiconductor or diamond may be chemically modified to enhance the emission of electrons from the surface.

Abstract: An enhanced Spindt-tip field emitter tip and a method for producing the enhanced Spindt-tip field emitter. A thin-film resistive heating element is positioned below the field emitter tip to allow for resistive heating of the tip in order to sharpen the tip and to remove adsorbed contaminants from the surface of the tip. Metal layers of the enhanced field emission device are separated by relatively thick dielectric bilayers, with the metal layers having increased thickness in the proximity of a cylindrical well in which the field emitter tip is deposited. Dielectric material is pulled back from the cylindrical aperture into which the field emitter tip is deposited in order to decrease buildup of conductive contaminants and the possibility of short circuits between metallic layers.

Abstract: A high resolution field emission display includes a faceplate and a baseplate. The faceplate includes a transparent viewing layer, a transparent conductive layer formed on the transparent viewing layer and intersecting stripes of light-absorbing, opaque insulating material formed on the transparent conductive layer. The insulating material defines openings less than one hundred microns wide between the intersecting stripes. The faceplate also includes a plurality of localized regions of cathodoluminescent material, each formed in one of the openings. The cathodoluminescent material includes a metal oxide providing reduced resistivity in the cathodoluminescent material. Significantly, the reduced resistivity of the cathodoluminescent material together with the focusing effect of the insulating material provide increased acuity in luminous images formed on the faceplate. The baseplate includes a substrate, an emitter formed on the substrate and a dielectric layer formed on the substrate and having an opening formed about the emitter. The baseplate also includes a conductive extraction grid formed on the dielectric layer and having an opening formed about the emitter.

Abstract: A discharge tube (1) made of transparent ceramics includes a main tube (17) and slender tubes provided on both sides thereof. In one of the slender tubes, a main electrode lead-in member that is connected to a main electrode (6b) is inserted and sealed. In the other two-hole slender tube, a main electrode lead-in member that is connected to a main electrode (6a) and an auxiliary electrode lead-in member that is connected to an auxiliary electrode (9) are inserted and sealed so as to be isolated electrically from each other. With such a structure, it is possible to achieve highly efficient and stable lifetime characteristics and suppress changes in characteristics during lifetime caused by leaks during an operation and reaction between a sealing material and an enclosed material inside the discharge tube. In addition, it is possible to obtain a high-pressure metal vapor discharge lamp that has stable lamp starting characteristics and allows a free design of the discharge tube.

Abstract: Cathodoluminescent field emission display devices feature phosphor biasing, amplification material layers for secondary electron emissions, oxide secondary emission enhancement layers, and ion barrier layers of silicon nitride, to provide high-efficiency, high-brightness field emission displays with improved operating characteristics and durability. The amplification materials include copper-barium, copper-beryllium, gold-barium, gold-calcium, silver-magnesium and tungsten-barium-gold, and other high amplification factor materials fashioned to produce high-level secondary electron emissions within a field emission display device. For enhanced secondary electron emissions, an amplification material layer can be coated with a near mono-molecular film consisting essentially of an oxide of barium, beryllium, calcium, magnesium or strontium. Use of a high amplification factor film as a phosphor biasing electrode, and variability of the phosphor biasing potential to achieve brightness or gray scale control are further described in the disclosure.
