  • Patent number: 7208866
    Abstract: A field emission display device includes three parts: a cathode emitter unit, an electron amplification unit, and a faceplate unit. The primary emission of electrons emitted from the cathode emitter unit bombards an electrode layer that includes an electron amplification material in order to generate secondary emissions of electrons. The secondary emissions of electrons bombard a light-emitting layer of the faceplate unit to generate fluorescence. Then, the fluorescence is transmitted through a transparent faceplate for viewing.
