摘要:
A liquid crystal panel (9) includes a front substrate (1a) and a back substrate (1b), and a liquid crystal layer (3) provided between these substrates. A seal (4) is used to bond the front substrate (1a) and the back substrate (1b) together. A region where either of the pair of substrates is in contact with the liquid crystal layer (3) is divided into a display region (6) and a non-display region (5). The number of spacers (2) per unit area is larger in the display region (6) than in the non-display region (5). In other words, the density of the spacers (2) is different between the display region (6) and the non-display region (5), and the density of the spacers (2) is higher in the display region (6) than in the non-display region (5). According to this configuration, the display region (6) cannot be deformed significantly even under pressure from outside, and thus the non-display region (5) is deformed by the pressure.

Subsequently, a source electrode (6) and a drain electrode (7) are formed so as to have a predetermined shape. Next, a protection layer (8) is formed on the source electrode (6) and the drain electrode (7). Thus, a thin-film transistor which has a good subthreshold characteristic and has a zinc oxide film as a base of an active layer can be realized.

A carbon nanotube has a carbon network film of polycrystalline structure divided into crystal regions along the axis of the tube, and the length along the tube axis of each crystal region preferably ranges from 3 to 6 nm. An electron source includes a carbon nanotube having a cylindrical shape and the end of which on the substrate side is closed and disposed in a fine hole. The end on the substrate side of the tube is firmly adhered to the substrate. The carbon nanotube is produced by a method in which carbon is deposited under the condition that no metal catalyst is present in the fine hole and produced by a method in which after the carbon deposition the end of the carbon deposition film is modified by etching the carbon deposition film using a plasma. Therefore, an electron source excellent in the evenness of field emission characteristics in a field emission region (pixel) in the device plane and driven with low voltage can be provided, and a display operated with ultralow power consumption exhibiting ultrahigh luminance can be provided.

A cathode is formed on a glass substrate by depositing nickel thereon, and silicon dioxide is allowed to accumulate on the cathode by sputtering to form an insulator film. Then, a gate electrode is provided on the insulator film by depositing nickel thereon. A hole is formed on the glass substrate by lithography to carry out patterning, and the gate electrode and the insulator film are selectively etched to create a hole for the formation of an emitter emitting electrons. Furthermore, nickel is stacked into the hole by deposition to form the emitter, and subsequently the emitter is covered with sulfur as a high vapor-pressure substance to form a high vapor-pressure substance layer.

Disclosed is a cold cathode electron source characterized in that a cold cathode material which can achieve electron emission in a low electric field (e.g., a carbon nanotube), necessary constituent elements are provided individually in uncalcined ceramic sheets (green sheets 21, 43, 46) and the sheets are laminated and calcined to form an integral structure. The electron source can be manufactured by forming through-holes 20 in a flat plate, charging a conductive paste 30 containing carbon nanotubes 31 dispersed therein into the through-holes 20 by vacuum suction, thereby causing to orient the carbon nanotubes 31 in the axis direction of the through-hoes 20. The electron source is useful for the low-cost manufacture of a device with a cold cathode electron source which can achieve ready vacuum evacuation and maintenance of the vacuum level, as well as a high emission current density at a low voltage.

摘要:
Low-cost electron emission device and field emission display using a cold cathode electron source having a high electron beam utilization efficiency and capable of controlling the spread of the electron beam. Under the condition Ea≧Eg, the electric field strength near the gate electrode forming an electron emission control unit is varied between a central portion and a peripheral portion in the plane of a single pixel (or sub-pixel), thereby controlling the spread of the electron beam. A device using a field emission-type electron source array capable of achieving a high emission current density at low voltage can be realized at low cost.
