  • Publication number: 20060192485
    Abstract: An electroluminescence (EL) display device is disclosed with a microlens layer positioned between a light-emission layer and a color converting layer or a color filter layer. The microlens layer can be formed separately or integrally with an electrode of the EL display device. Light emitted from the light-emitting layer passes through an electrode and then through the microlens layer, which has a higher refractive index than the electrode to focus light in a predetermined direction. The light then passes through the color converting layer or a color filter layer to emit red, green, or blue light from the device. The microlens layer and color converting layer or color filter layer can be disposed for either active matrix or passive matrix, and for either a top-emission type, bottom-emission type, or dual emission type EL display device for improved external light coupling efficiency and brightness.

  • Patent number: 6762544
    Abstract: An indirectly heated metal cathode for an electron tube includes a metal sleeve of an Mo material, a metal emitter disposed on the metal sleeve and including Pt or Pd as a main component; and a buffer layer between the metal sleeve and the metal emitter. The buffer layer prevents Mo, an element of the metal sleeve, from diffusing into the emitter during the operation of the metal cathode so that electron-emitting performance does not decrease rapidly with operating time due to an increase in a work function. Therefore, the metal cathode satisfies a long life span requirement for large scale and high definition electron tubes.
