摘要:
A single substrate, vacuum fluorescent display including a first layer of electrically conductive material positioned on a supporting substrate and a light emitting layer including phosphor positioned on the first layer. A second layer of electrically conductive material is supported on the substrate and electrically insulated from the first layer. An electron emitting layer of low work function material is positioned on the second layer and further positioned so that emitted electrons strike the light emitting layer. Since both the electron emitting and the light emitting layers are supported on the substrate, an encapsulating window is simple and easy to construct. Integrated drivers are optionally formed in the supporting substrate.

Manufacturing a single substrate fluorescent display including forming a first conductive layer on a substrate, depositing a first insulating layer on the first conductive layer, depositing a second conductive layer in horizontal rows on the first insulating layer, depositing a second insulating layer on the second conductive layer, and depositing an electron emitting layer of low work function material in columns on the second insulating layer so as to define a plurality of pixels at the column/row intersections. An opening is formed at each pixel extending through the layer of electron emitting material, the second insulating layer, the second conductive layer and the first insulating layer to the first conductive layer. A layer of light emitting material is deposited on the first conductive layer in the opening at each pixel.

A method for fabricating an array (300) of edge electron emitters (530) includes the steps of: forming first and second grooves (310, 320) in first and second opposing planar surfaces (101, 102), respectively, of a supporting substrate (110) to form an array of openings (330) therethrough; forming a dielectric layer (122) on the first planar surface (101) and an emission structure (120) on the dielectric layer (122); forming a plurality of cathodes (132) on the emission structure (120); forming gates (515) on a portion of the surfaces defining the first grooves (310); forming a masking film (710) on the cathodes (132)/emission structure (120); removing an outer, radial portion (726) of the masking film (710); etching the emission structure (120), the retracted masking film (710) forming a mask, thereby providing a predetermined configuration of the edge electron emitters (530) with respect to the gates (515) and cathodes (132).

摘要:
A configurable display comprising a distributed Bragg reflector having a plurality of flexible, compressible polymer layers is provided. The polymer layers are transparent and comprise alternating layers of differential index of refraction material so that a reflective surface is formed at each interface between the alternating layers. The polymer layers are sandwiched between a first electrode which is transparent and a second electrode. Thickness of each of the layers is designed such that light reflecting from the reflective surfaces interferes constructively at predetermined wavelengths. The thickness of each of the layers is altered by application of a static potential between the first and second electrodes which deforms the polymer layers thereby shifting the wavelength at which constructive interference occurs. In this manner wavelength and amplitude of reflective light can be modulated by a voltage applied between the first and second electrodes.
