  • Patent number: 7471039
    Abstract: A quadrode field emission display is provided, where a low driving voltage is reached by an edge structure, and display in the dark is achieved by adding a sub-gate electrode. With respect to the electrical characteristics that an edge structure may raise the electric field intensity, an edge of a cathode plate through an opening of a gate layer is exposed, thereby forming the edge structure at an emitter to raise the electric field. It also reduces the driving voltage substantially. Therefore, the display in the dark is achieved by adjusting the voltage without changing the structure.

  • Patent number: 7413763
    Abstract: A method of transferring imprint carbon nano-tube (CNT) field emitting source is disclosed. Firstly, cathode lines are screen printed on a substrate. Then a dielectric layer formation on the cathode lines and substrate is followed. Afterward, gate lines formed on the dielectric layer by screen printing are performed. Next a patterning process is carried out to form openings. Subsequently, an imprint negative mold is dipped with CNT paste and imprinted the CNT paste on the cathode lines through the openings. After drawing of pattern from the imprint mold, the CNT paste is cured by annealing. Since the emitting sources are formed through the imprint negative mold, as a result, the size and shape can be predetermined. Moreover, the intervals between gate line and the emitting source are readily control, which resolve the circuit short problem between gate and cathode. Consequently, the current density, brightness, and uniformity of the emitter sources are significantly improved.
