    摘要: This invention is directed to an improvement of a field emission display architecture in which low-voltage row and column address signals control a much higher pixel activation voltage. Instead of using a pair of series-coupled transistors in the emitter node grounding path as in the original architecture (one of which is gated by a column signal and the other of which is gated by a row signal), only a single transistor is utilized in the emitter node grounding path, thus eliminating an intermediate node between the two transistors that was responsible for unwanted emissions under certain operating conditions. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a current regulating resistor is placed in the grounding path in series with the primary grounding transistor, with the resistor being directly coupled to ground. Additionally, for the preferred embodiment of the invention, the gate of the grounding transistor is coupled via a second field-effect transistor to either a row signal or a column signal. In the case where the gate of the first transistor is coupled to a row signal, the gate of the second transistor is coupled to a column signal. Likewise, where the gate of the first transistor is coupled to a column signal, the gate of the second transistor is coupled to a row signal. Numerous other equivalent circuits are possible, and several examples of such equivalent circuits are depicted in this disclosure.

    摘要: In a field emission display, a microchannel plate is mounted between an emitter panel and a display screen. The inner walls of the cylindrical passageways through the microchannel plate are coated with a conductive layer which is connected to a plate voltage. Electrons emitted from the emitter panel travel through cylindrical passageways in the microchannel plate toward the display screen. As electrons pass through the microchannels, the electrons are multiplied and collimated to increase the intensity of the light emitted from the screen and to reduce the pixel size.

    摘要: A field emission display includes electrostatic discharge protection circuits coupled to an emitter substrate and an extraction grid. In the preferred embodiment, the electrostatic discharge circuit includes diodes reverse biased between grid sections and a first reference potential or between row lines and a second reference potential. The diodes provide a current path to discharge static voltage and thereby prevent a high voltage differential from being maintained between the emitter sets and the extraction grids. The diodes thereby prevent the emitter sets from emitting electrons at a high rate that may damage or destroy the emitter sets. In one embodiment, the diodes are coupled directly between the grid sections and the row lines. In one embodiment, the diodes are formed in an insulative layer carrying the grid sections. In another embodiment, the diodes are integrated into the emitter substrate.

    摘要: A field emission display ("FED") is disclosed having a gray scale range. Input into the FED, initially, is an analog signal input. The FED, by employing an analog to pulse width converter, subsequently converts the analog input to a pulse width output, the width of which directly correlates to the amplitude of the analog input signal. To achieve this design, the analog to pulse width converter comprises a sampler for sampling the analog signal at a predetermined frequency, thereby creating a plurality of samples corresponding to the input voltage. Further, the converter comprises means for holding each of the samples. The output of the holding means is subsequently coupled with a load responsive to the output of the holding means. In one embodiment of the present invention, this load comprises a voltage controlled resistance. The voltage controlled resistance can comprise a convertor for converting each of the samples to a current source and a load for creating a voltage ramp. The voltage ramp is subsequently input to a buffer for comparing the load output with a predetermined threshold. By this design, a pulse width signal is thereby created, the width of which ranges between a minimum and a maximum value, the minimum and the maximum values corresponding to the gray scale range.
