摘要： A Field Emission Display ("FED") is disclosed having a brightness to project images. To achieve this benefit, the FED includes a pixelator which coupled to a display for displaying and projecting the image. By design, the pixelator conducts a drive current passing through the display grid corresponding to a degree of brightness in the resulting panel display. A first resistor having a first value is coupled between the pixelator and a voltage node or ground. Moreover, a second resistor having a second value at most one half of the first value is employed. A switch for connecting the first resistor in parallel with the second resistor is closed when a control signal is received when the switch is enabled, the equivalent resistance between the pixelator and a voltage node or ground is substantially reduced. In another embodiment, a tapped resistor replaces the first resistor and the second resistor. When the control signal is received, a portion of the drive current is shunted through the switch.

摘要： A multi-layered structure, and method for producing same, which may include at least one glass layer anodically bonded to an intermediate layer. The intermediate layer may function as a anodic bonding layer, an etch stop layer, and/or a hard mask layer. A template may be formed of the multi-layered structure by forming a desired pattern of openings therein by way of, for example, etching. Such a template may, for example, be used in the alignment and adherence of spacer structures to an electrode plate during the fabrication of flat panel displays. When used in this context, the construction of such a template results in more precise control of the patterning and sizing of the holes formed therein which thereby allows for more precise placement of spacer structures as well as the use of spacer structures exhibiting relatively higher aspect ratios during the fabrication of flat panel displays.

摘要： The present invention discloses a method for accurately maintaining an alignment of a faceplate and a cathode member during the manufacturing of field emission displays and plasma displays. The invention maintains the alignment in preparation for, and throughout, the sealing process of these displays through the application of a glass frit material on at least one of the plates. A sol-gel material is further applied on top of the glass frit; and, in addition, for optimum performance, an adhesive material is used in conjunction with the sol-gel material for enhanced support of the plates during the early stages of the sealing process. The adhesive material, which maintains the alignment early in the sealing process, may evaporate or soften as the temperature increases, at which point, the sol-gel material maintains the plates in alignment during the softening of the seal frit.

To achieve this benefit, the FED comprises a pixelator is coupled to a display for displaying and projecting the image. By design, the pixelator conducts a current, corresponding to a degree of brightness in the resulting panel display, through the display grid. A first resistor having a first value, is coupled between the pixelator and a voltage node or ground.

A switch for connecting the first resistor in parallel with the second resistor is utilized such that when a control signal is received, the switch is enabled and the equivalent resistance between the pixelator and a voltage node or ground is substantially reduced. In one embodiment of the invention, the first resistor comprises a resistive layer, while the second resistor comprises a tap for tapping the resistive layer between the first and second terminations of the resistive layer, thereby creating the second resistor smaller than the first resistor.
