Abstract: A method for fabricating the cathode plate of a carbon nano tube field emission display uses a photoconductive paste and etchable dielectric material to fabricate the cathode plate. The method combines photolithography process and etching process to fabricate a cathode electrode layer, a dielectric layer, a gate layer, and a carbon nano tube emission layer. Packing this cathode plate structure with a conventional anode plate together can form a carbon nano tube field emission array. The distribution of the electric field is uniform and the alignment at post-process is made easy.

Abstract: A light filament (206) formed from carbon nanotubes is characterized by high mechanical strength and durability at elevated temperatures, a high surface area to volume ratio, and high emissivity. Additionally, electrical resistance of the light filament does not increase with increasing temperature as much as electrical resistance of metallic light filaments. Accordingly, power consumption of the light filament is low at incandescent operating temperatures. A method for making a light filament made of carbon nanotubes includes the steps of: forming an array of carbon nanotubes (20); pulling out carbon nanotube yarn (204) from the carbon nanotube array; and winding the yarn between two leads (30) functioning as electrodes to form the light filament.

Abstract: A field emission display device (1) includes a cathode plate (20), a resistive buffer (30) in contact with the cathode plate, a plurality of electron emitters (40) formed on the buffer and an anode plate (50) spaced from the buffer. Each electron emitter includes a rod-shaped first part (401) and a conical second part (402). The buffer and first parts are made from silicon oxide (SiOx). The combined buffer and first parts has a gradient distribution of electrical resistivity such that highest electrical resistivity is nearest the cathode plate and lowest electrical resistivity is nearest the anode plate. The second parts are made from molybdenum. When emitting voltage is applied between the cathode and anode plates, electrons emitted from the second parts traverse an interspace region and are received by the anode plate. Because of the gradient distribution of electrical resistivity, only a very low emitting voltage is needed.
