  • Field emission display fabrication method
    Patent number: 6004181
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a field emission display is disclosed. The method includes the steps of arranging a sealing layer between a face plate and a substrate, heating the sealing layer until the sealing layer adheres to the face plate and the substrate, and then pulling the face plate away from the sealing layer so that the vacuum is improved. The sealing layer may be constructed from glass and heated with a heating coil made from ni-chrome wire. The elements can be positioned using industrial robots using common manufacturing techniques.
