  • Publication number: 20070154625
    Abstract: A method activates the electron emission surface of a field emission display. After an un-activated cathode plate is manufactured, a protective layer is formed by coating a solvent to one face of the electron emission source layer. A coating is applied to the protective layer to form a covering layer on the surface of the electron emission source layer. The covering layer is cured and then a mold-releasing cylinder is used to release the dried film. The surface of the electron emission source layer can be uniformly activated. The electron emission source layer is then baked again to remove the remaining solvent.

  • Publication number: 20070000782
    Abstract: A method for batch fabricating electron emission source of electrophoresis deposited carbon nanotubes includes preparing a semi-manufactured cathode structure and a metallic plate connected with electrophoresis electrodes. The cathode structure and the metallic plate that are parallel to each other are separated with a fixed distance and are rinsed in an electrophoresis solution. A processe is performed to remove the bubbles formed in the cathode structure, and to electrophoresis deposit the carbon nanotubes onto the cathode structure. After each deposition process is completed, the cathode structure is baked under a low temperature so as to remove the residual solution remained on the cathode structure. After a homogeneous carbon nanotubes layer is deposited to form the electron emission source, a sintering process is performed so as to transfer the chargers into conductive metallic oxide salts. Thereby, the electron conduction of the carbon nanotubes and the cathode electrode layer is enhanced.
