  • Publication number: 20070200476
    Abstract: The present invention provides a display device allowing the quality and reliability to be improved by preventing the occurrence of vacuum leak attributable to dislocation which may be caused by preliminary baking and panel sealing. A display device in which the end surfaces of a support body 13 are hermetically bonded to a front substrate 2 and a rear substrate 1 by sealing members 4. In the display device, the support body 13 is formed by bonding together a plurality of support body members 13X1, 13X2, 13Y1 and 13Y2, and adjacent support body members are bonded by using a first bonding member 141 for bonding a central area of each bonding surface and a second bonding member 142 for bonding a marginal area around the central area. The softening temperature of the first bonding member is set higher than the softening temperature of the second bonding member.

  • Publication number: 20070159057
    Abstract: In an image display device, end surfaces of spacers are jointed to substrates in a state that the spacers bite into a conductive adhesive material 13 in the depth direction of a coating thickness of the conductive adhesive material. Due to such a constitution, it is possible to provide the image display device which possesses high brightness, high reliability and a prolonged lifetime by suppressing the breakage and the deformation of distance holding members which hold a distance of a hermetically sealed space surrounded by a face substrate, a back substrate and a frame body.

  • Publication number: 20070114926
    Abstract: An image display device is constituted such that a back substrate on which image signal lines, scanning signal lines and electron sources are arranged and a face substrate which has phosphor layers are hermetically sealed to each other by way of a frame body using a sealing material, and the inside of the image display device is formed into a vacuum. A length LSK of a second sealing region into which scanning signal lines hermetically penetrate is set larger than a length LDK of a first sealing region into which thin-film image signal lines hermetically penetrate and hence, it is possible to suppress the decrease of the degree of vacuum.

  • Patent number: 7190107
    Abstract: A field emission type display device has a structure in which each pixel is constituted of a combination of a plurality of small apertures and a plurality of small electron sources. Due to such a constitution, it is possible to reduce undesired impact of electrons on control electrodes and the enhancement of the heat resistance of the carbon nanotubes of electron sources, whereby it is possible to obtain a display device of high quality and long lifetime, while exhibiting a high-performance electron emission characteristic. Boron (B) is adhered to carbon nanotubes, which constitute electron sources, through the small apertures of the control electrodes; and, hence, the alignment of the small apertures and the small electron sources is ensured and the area of the electron source is set to be equal to or less than the area of the aperture.

  • Publication number: 20060220522
    Abstract: By forming chamfered portions on corner portions of a spacer, a contact area between the spacer and a fixing material is enlarged. Side surfaces of the spacer including the chamfered portions are embedded into the inside of the fixing material and hence, an adhesion area of the spacer with the fixing material is enlarged thus enhancing an adhesion strength. As a result, a fixing strength of the spacers which hold a space between a back panel and a face panel in vacuum is enhanced.
