Abstract:
An electron-emitting device contains an emitter seed layer patterned into multiple laterally separated sections situated between the electron-emissive elements, on one hand, and emitter electrodes, on the other hand. Sections of the seed layer are spaced apart along each emitter electrode to electrically decouple electron emission elements disposed on the seed layer.

To this end, an electron emission device of the present invention is such that a cathode electrode, an insulating layer, and a gate electrode are layered on a substrate in an order; an electron emission layer is in a first hole on the substrate penetrating from the gate electrode through the cathode electrode; an upper surface of the electron emission layer is between an upper surface of the substrate and a boundary between the cathode electrode and the insulating layer; at least one of a side surface and a lower surface except for a central area of the electron emission layer contacts the cathode electrode. By such an electron emission device, electrons are emitted mainly from the peripheral area of the electron emission layer. Accordingly, the electron convergence is improved.

The present invention relates to a cathode for use in a field emission device. In a triode-type cathode for use in an electron emission device being a core component constituting a field emission device, the present invention includes forming a catalytic layer at the sidewall of a gate hole and then growing an emitter in the catalytic layer, thus uniformly distributing an electric field generated by a voltage applied to a gate electrode over the emitter. Therefore, the present invention can improve the brightness contrast at a low anode voltage and also can control electrons emitted from the emitter only with the gate voltage.
