Abstract: A viewing screen (100) for a display device (115) includes a glass substrate (110) having a thermal coefficient of expansion within a range of 3.5×10−6−4.5×10−6° C.−1. Viewing screen (100) further includes a black matrix (111), which is affixed to glass substrate (110), and which includes a black surround, a ductile metal, and lead titanate.

Abstract: A viewing screen (100) for a display device (115) includes a glass substrate (110) having a thermal coefficient of expansion within a range of 3.5×10−6−4.5×10−6 °C.−1. Viewing screen (100) further includes a black matrix (111), which is affixed to glass substrate (110), and which includes a black surround, a ductile metal, and lead titanate. A method for fabricating viewing screen (100) includes the steps of: adding to a black surround paste a ductile metal paste, adding to the black surround paste lead titanate particles, depositing the black surround paste on glass substrate (110), and heating the black surround paste and glass substrate (110) to affix the black surround paste to glass substrate (110), thereby forming black matrix (111). The ductile metal paste and lead titanate particles are added in amounts sufficient to realize an extent of cracking in black matrix (111) upon repeated heating to a temperature within a range of 450-600° C.

Abstract: A phosphor includes about 99 dry weight % cathodoluminescent particles, which have a mean particle diameter equal to about 4 microns, and about 1 dry weight % non-cathodoluminescent inorganic particles, which have a mean particle diameter equal to about 20 microns. A method for fabricating phosphor includes the steps of providing an aqueous polyvinyl alcohol solution having about 7.5 weight % polyvinyl alcohol, adding cathodoluminescent particles to the aqueous polyvinyl alcohol solution to provide a cathodoluminescent particle solution having about 16.5 volume % cathodoluminescent particles, and adding non-cathodoluminescent inorganic particles to the cathodoluminescent particle solution to provide a phosphor paste. Non-cathodoluminescent inorganic particles function as dispersants and suspension-stabilizing agents in the phosphor paste.

Abstract: A field emission display (200) includes a cathode plate (202); a substrate (102) opposing the cathode plate (202); a conductive matrix (104) disposed on the substrate (102) and having via walls (103) defining a plurality of phosphor vias (105); a phosphor (106, 108, 110) disposed within each of the phosphor vias (105); and a gas-adsorption material distributed within the conductive matrix (104). A method for fabricating the field emission display (200) includes the steps of silk-screening onto the substrate (102) a screenable suspension, which is made from a glass, a metal, a gas-adsorption material, and a photo-sensitive material, to form a film; photo-patterning the film to form a phosphor via (105); depositing a phosphor material into the phosphor via (105) to form an anode plate (100); and affixing the cathode plate (202) to the anode plate (100).
