摘要:
In an image display device that utilizes field emission and has electron sources made of carbon nanotube or the like, a break attributable to a wiring pattern of thin lines is controlled. Cathode spots and cathode lines are formed independently of each other so that even if one cathode spot is broken, all the cathode lines may become defective. Specifically, each of the cathode spots includes an electron emission layer and a cathode base bearing the electron emission layer. The cathode lines are formed separately. Each cathode spot is electrically coupled to a cathode line via a cathode branchline. Owing to the structure, even if part of the electron emission layer is broken, the other part thereof coupled to the cathode lines will not be adversely affected.

This invention relates to a field-emission-type flat-panel display apparatus that obtains an image by causing the electrons emitted from each of electron sources arranged in matrix form to impinge upon the phosphors formed on a phosphor screen. A carbon nanotube is used as an electron source material in this flat-panel display apparatus, and the electron sources are formed by printing. The vertical sizes of the depressions and projections on the surface of each electron source which has been formed by printing are suppressed to a value equal to or less than 1 μm, preferably, equal to or less than 0.5 μm. This makes it possible to obtain a flat-panel display apparatus of stable emission characteristics.

An image display device in which a damage which is imparted to carbon nanotubes is small and electron emission characteristics are favorable and a production method thereof are provided. A printed film 6 having carbon nanotubes 3, a resin 4 and a carbon component 5 is formed on a cathode electrode 2 of a glass substrate 1 and, then, by irradiating laser having a short pulse and high output in an ultraviolet region on the thus-formed printed film 6, the resin 4 is thermally decomposed and evaporated and, thereafter, by an impact generated at that time, binding between carbon nanotubes 3 themselves in the vicinity of a surface of the printed film 6 is severed and, at the same time, the carbon nanotubes 3 come to be in a state of being raised on the surface of the printed film 6.

Two electrodes out of a cathode electrode, a gate electrode and a focusing gate electrode are formed on a same plane of a back substrate adjacent to each other, and this electrode structure is stacked in plural stages whereby the number of steps of printing process for forming the respective electrodes can be decreased and the alignment accuracy at the time of manufacturing the electrode structure can be largely alleviated. Further, by forming the cathode electrode and the gate electrode using the same material which contains carbon nanotubes, the alignment accuracy at the time of manufacturing the electrode structure can be largely alleviated. Accordingly, it is possible to manufacture an emissive flat panel display device easily and at a low cost using printing coating process or the like which is usually used.

In an image display apparatus using an FED or an organic EL element, image display that is high in illumination uniformity and high in image quality can be performed. A display element with a matrix structure which conducts linear sequential driving which determines the luminance by a current is used, a threshold voltage of a cathode line immediately before one select period has been terminated where a control electrode line is sequentially driven is measured by a threshold voltage measuring section, the measured threshold voltage is recorded for each of the pixels, and a driving signal at the time of selecting the pixel is corrected by using the value of the recorded threshold voltage, to thereby control electric charge that is emitted from a cathode.

A flat panel display having electron sources capable is of emitting electrons uniformly within the display surface. The flat panel display includes a rear panel formed by a rear substrate. Cathode electrodes are formed on the inner surface of the rear substrate. Layers forming the electron sources consist of carbon nanotubes and are formed on the cathode electrodes. The surfaces of layers of the electron sources are bristled with the carbon nanotubes. Multi-walled and single-walled carbon nanotubes are dispersed in the layers of the electron sources.

Using a cathode material with which an electron emission having sufficient intensity is obtained with a low electric field, over a back substrate, cathodes and first control electrodes are formed on the same plane, which is parallel to the back substrate, thus forming electron beam sources, and second control electrodes, which focus electrons taken out from the electron beam sources, are formed, whereby it is possible to obtain an image display of high brightness.
