Abstract: An optical device contains first and second plates (302 and 303), a pattern of ridges (314) situated over the first plate, light-emissive regions (313) situated in spaces between the ridges, electron-emissive elements (309) situated over the second plate, and supporting structure (308) that maintains a desired spacing between the plates. The electron-emissive elements emit electrons that strike the light-emissive regions, causing them to produce light of various colors. The ridges, which extend further away from the first plate than the light-emissive regions, are substantially non-emissive of light when hit by electrons. Each ridge includes a dark region formed with metal, ceramic, semiconductor, or/and carbide. The ridges thereby form a raised black matrix that improves contrast and color purity.

Abstract: A porous dielectric material such as silica-based aerogel is used as the dielectric layer 48 between the gate and the cathode on the emitter plate 12 of a field emission device. Aerogel, which can have a relative dielectric constant as low as 1.03, is deposited over the resistive layer 44 of the emitter plate 12. Metal layer 49, functioning as the gate electrode, is subsequently deposited over the aerogel layer 48. The use of aerogel as a gate dielectric reduces power consumption. In a disclosed embodiment, aerogel layer 48 is comprised of sublayers 48a, 48b, and 48c of aerogels of differing densities, thereby providing better adhesion of the aerogel gate dielectric to both the resistive layer 44 and metal layer 49. Methods of fabricating the aerogel gate dielectric are disclosed.

Abstract: A spacer 40 for use in a field emission device comprises a comb-like structure having a plurality of elongated filaments 42 joined to a support member 44. The filaments 42, which may be glass, are positioned longitudinally in a single layer between the facing surfaces of the anode structure 10 and the electron emitting structure 12. Support member 44 is positioned entirely outside the active regions of anode structure 10 and emitting structure 12. Spacer 40 provides voltage isolation between the anode structure 10 and the cathode structure 12, and also provides standoff of the mechanical forces of vacuum within the assembly. In a second embodiment, spacer 50 comprises elongated filaments 52 joined at each end to a support member 54a and 54b, the additional support facilitating handling, fabrication and assembly. In an additional embodiment, a filament 70 of nonuniform diameter contacts planar surfaces 74 and 76 only at the high spots 72 of filament 70, thereby reducing the shadowing of the beam on the display surface.

Abstract: A field emission display includes corrugated insulating support pillars (96) disposed between the phosphorous layer (95) and the substrate (50) for reducing arcing between the cathode (92) and the anode (93) along the surface of the pillar. The corrugation of the insulating support pillars provides for a substantially increased operating voltage between the cathode and the anodes thereby increasing the operating life and efficiency of the field emission display.

Abstract: A vacuum fluorescent display and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed. The vacuum fluorescent display has a faceplate and a substrate forming a vacuum-space, segments, filaments, grids, pin leads, stands for fixing filaments and a stationary base for fixing the stands. The stationary base is a hollowed-out rectangle which includes a pair of parallel setters for welding the stands on opposing sides of the substrate and a pair of spacing strips for maintaining the interval between the setters. The base is fixed to the substrate, and then setters are separated from each other by removing the spacing strips. The ends of setters extend outwardly from the vacuum-space to serve as a conductor to the filament.
