    Abstract: A field emission transistor includes a gate, a fold over emitter, and fold over collector. The emitter and the collector are separated from the gate by a void and are separated from a gate contact by gate contact dielectric. The void may be a vacuum, ambient air, or a gas. Respective ends of the emitter and the collector are separated by a gap. Electrons are drawn across gap from the emitter to the collector by an electrostatic field created when a voltage is applied to the gate. The emitter and collector include a first conductive portion substantially parallel with gate and a second conductive portion substantially perpendicular with gate. The second conductive portion may be formed by bending a segment of the first conductive portion. The second conductive portion is folded inward from the first conductive portion towards the gate. Respective second conductive portions are generally aligned.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a field emission lighting arrangement, comprising an anode and a cathode, where the shape of the cathode is selected based on the shape of a evacuated envelope in which the anode and cathode is provided. The inventive shape of cathode allows for an improved uniformity of an electric field provided between the anode and cathode during operation of the field emission lighting arrangement. The invention also relates to a corresponding method for selecting a shape of such a cathode.
