Abstract: The invention is directed to a metal core substrate having high thermal conductivity and high electrical insulating properties; an electrophoretic deposition fluid for use in fabrication of the metal core substrate; and a method for fabricating the metal core substrate. The electrophoretic deposition fluid is used during electrophoretic deposition, and contains ceramic particles for coating a metal substrate, and an organopolysiloxane composition which binds the ceramic particles.

Abstract: A flat panel display that includes a ceramic substrate, side walls and a transparent window forming an evacuated envelope is described. The substrate serves to support anode pads or a semiconductor chip having anode pads within the envelope. Electrical leads are embedded in the ceramic substrate and serve to provide electrical connection between the interior and exterior of the envelope.

Abstract: An improved vacuum fluorescence display (VFD) that is less expensive to produce and more rugged than currently available VFDs. The display includes metal side walls and fluorescent material carried on one or more silicon wafers. A ceramic, layerable insulating material is employed as the substrate on which the wafer or wafers are mounted. In another embodiment of the current invention, a chemical getter is incorporated into a recess formed in the ceramic substrate. The getter is positioned underneath the back side of the phosphor screen so as to significantly reduce contamination of the screen by material sputtered off of the surface of the getter.
