  • Patent number: 8513670
    Abstract: A pixel structure and a pixel circuit having multi-display mediums are provided. A storage capacitor and a first display medium are disposed in different layers, so as to overlap the storage capacitor with a pixel electrode of the first display medium. Accordingly, an area of the first display medium can be increased for enlarging an aperture ratio of the pixel. Furthermore, because a third pixel electrode is disposed in a conductive layer, the third pixel electrode can control/drive a second display medium under a substrate.

  • Patent number: 7390715
    Abstract: A method of fabricating an active layer thin film by a metal-chalcogenide precursor solution is provided, including the steps of: synthesizing a metal-chalcogenide precursor containing benzyl or benzyl derivative; dissolving the precursor in a solvent to produce a precursor solution, wherein a chalcogen element or compound can be added to the precursor solution to adjust the molar ratio of metal ion to chalcogen; and then applying the precursor solution onto a substrate in a specific coating manner, to form a film of the metal-chalcogenide after a curing process. Thereby, the existing method wherein an amorphous silicon active layer film is fabricated by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) is replaced.

  • Patent number: 7381586
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing TFTs is provided. It can be applied to both inverted staggered and co-planar TFT structures. The manufacturing method for the staggered TFT includes the formation of a gate electrode, a gate insulator, an active channel layer, a drain electrode, and a source electrode on a substrate. It emphasizes the use of metal oxides or II-VI compound semiconductors and low-temperature CBD process to form the active channel layer. In a CBD process, the active channel layers are selectively deposited on the substrates immersed in the solution through controlling solution temperature and PH value. The invention offers the advantages of low deposition temperature, selective deposition, no practical limit of panel size, and low fabrication cost. Its low deposition temperature allows the use of flexible substrates, such as plastic substrates.

  • Patent number: 6811457
    Abstract: A method for fabricating the cathode plate of a carbon nano tube field emission display uses a photosensitive paste and etchable dielectric material to fabricate the cathode plate. The method combines photolithography process and etching process to fabricate a cathode electrode layer, a dielectric layer, a gate layer, and a carbon nano tube emission layer. Packing this cathode plate structure with a conventional anode plate together can form a carbon nano tube field emission array. The distribution of the electric field is uniform and the alignment at post-process is made easy.

  • Patent number: 6769945
    Abstract: A triode structure of a field emission display is manufactured with thick-film technology. The triode structure includes a cathode electrode layer that comprises a metallic catalyst. Isomeric carbon emitters can be grown on the cathode electrode layer by CVD process at a low temperature because of the metallic catalyst. Instead of mixing the metallic catalyst in the cathode electrode layer, a metallic catalyst layer can be formed on the cathode electrode layer to facilitate the growth of the isomeric carbon emitters. The combination of thick film technology and low temperature CVD process provide a low cost method for fabricating a large area field emission display with isomeric carbon emitters.

  • Patent number: 6750604
    Abstract: A field emission display panel device that incorporates carbon nanotube emitter layers for emitting electrons wherein the carbon nanotube layers has a smaller width than the conductive paste layers it is deposited on is disclosed. The width of the carbon nanotube layer should be less than ¾ of the width of the conductive paste layer, or in a range between about ¼ and ¾ of the width of the conductive paste layer, i.e. such as a silver paste layer. The present invention novel structure prevents the overflow of the carbon nanotubes, after a curing process for the nanotubes is conducted, onto the sidewall of the conductive paste layer, and thus significantly improves the electron density projected toward the flourescent powder coating layer to produce an image with reduced electron scattering. As a result, image clarity, definition and contrast can be improved in the FED device.

  • Patent number: 6541906
    Abstract: A field emission display panel of the diode structure that has a dual-layer cathode and an anode formed on a bottom glass panel and a method for such fabrication are described. In the FED panel, a plurality of emitter stacks is formed each having a layer of dielectric material, a first layer of a conductive paste coated with a layer of nanotube emitters on a peripheral, sidewall surface as a cathode, and a second layer of the conductive paste deposited on top of the nanotube emitter layer. The first layer and the second layer are formed in a column shape. The second conductive paste layer stops any nanotubes left on a top surface of the first conductive paste layer from emitting electrons in an upward direction and restricts all emitted electrons in a downward direction.
