Abstract: A method of removing contaminant particles from faceplates in newly fabricated field emission displays so that a uniform distribution of contaminants is achieved at the emitter sites of the display. During the initial operation of a field emission dislay device contaminants are removed from the display faceplate by electron induced desorption. The emission current profile at the emitter sites is selected so that the distribution of readsorbed contaminants is equalized. The variations in current emission compensate for shadowing effects due to spacer walls to produce a uniform readsorption distribution. The emitter sites may driven using an animated contrast image at a constant current for the display.

Abstract: A circuit and method for turning-on and turning-off elements of an field emission display (FED) device to protect against emitter electrode and gate electrode degradation. The circuit includes control logic having a sequencer which in one embodiment can be realized using a state machine. Upon power-on, the control logic sends an enable signal to a high voltage power supply that supplies voltage to the anode electrode. At this time a low voltage power supply and driving circuitry are disabled. Upon receiving a confirmation signal from the high voltage power supply, the control logic enables the low voltage power supply which supplies voltage to the driving circuitry. Upon receiving a confirmation signal from the low voltage power supply, or optionally after expiration of a predetermined time period, the control logic then enables the driving circuitry which drives the gate electrodes and the emitter electrodes which make up the rows and columns of the FED device. Upon power down, the control logic first disables the low voltage power supply, then the high voltage power supply. The above may occur upon each time the FED is powered-on and powered-off during the normal operational use of the display. By so doing, embodiments of the present invention reduce emitter electrode and gate electrode degradation by restricting electron emission from the emitter electrode directly to the gate electrode.

Abstract: In a flat-panel display structure having a spacer with laterally segmented face electrodes, one embodiment of the present invention defines the length of the laterally segmented face electrode sections to minimize zero current shift variation in electron trajectories. Advantageously, the present embodiment of the invention prevents image quality degradation. In one embodiment, values for variation in the uniformity of and dicing tolerance are combined to calculate a design optimum for the length of laterally segmented face electrodes. Zero current shift variation from fluctuations in wall resistance falls off with the length of laterally segmented face electrodes. Zero current shift due to first order angular alignment during dicing varies linearly with the dashed electrode length. In one embodiment of the present invention, an optimal value is calculated by combining these effects to minimize zero current shift. Advantageously, in one embodiment, the electrode segments are individually testable.
