  • Electrode for the source of field emitting electrons and a panel and a lighting apparatus thereof
    Patent number: 7692371
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrode for a source of field emitting electrons and a lighting panel and a lighting apparatus thereof. A plurality of conductive emitters made from a combination of an electrical emitting source material and an electrical conductive material is formed on a cathode plate. Therefore, the conductive emitter can be a cathode, a gate and a field emitting electric source as well to simplify the structure and the process, and improve the brightness and uniformity thereof.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for driving a circuit of a field emission backlight panel
    Publication number: 20080266237
    Abstract: This present invention relates to a method for driving a circuit of a field emission backlight panel. A group of driving signals with phase shift is sent to a plurality of emitters of a field emission display panel to control the emitters to emit electrons alternately. Therefore, the lighting area of the field emission display panel is increased, and so are the brightness and the uniformity thereof.
