  • Frit protection in sealing process for flat panel displays
    Patent number: 6565400
    Abstract: A method for attaching a faceplate and a backplate of a field emission display device. Specifically, one embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for protecting a silicon nitride passivation layer from reacting with a glass frit sealing material that contains lead oxide during an oven sealing or laser sealing process. The passivation layer protects row and column electrodes in the display device. A barrier material fully encapsulates the silicon nitride passivation layer. In one embodiment, silicon dioxide is the barrier material. In another embodiment, spin-on-glass is the barrier material. In still another embodiment, cermet is the barrier material.
