Research on the Emission Property of Cold Cathode Emitter with Enhanced Bar Electrode in a FED Panel

Abstract

Using carbon nanotube (CNT) as cathode material, the field emission display (FED) panel with enhanced bar electrode was fabricated. With the photolithography process, the indium tin oxide (ITO) film was divided to form the cathode ITO electrode. The printed silver slurry was sintered to act as the cathode silver electrode, which was prepared on the cathode ITO electrode surface. The insulation layer was also fabricated on the cathode plate. The CNT paste was screen-printed on the surface of cathode ITO electrode and cathode silver electrode to form the field emitter. The detailed fabrication process of FED panel was given, and the sealed FED panel showed better field emission properties. Because of the enhanced bar electrode, the large field emission current was obtained.
