Abstract:
A field emission display device comprising:a first electrically insulating plate, a cathode formed of a material comprises metal on said first electrical insulating plate, a layer formed of a high electrical resistivity material on said cathode, a layer of nanotube emitter formed of a material selected from the group consisting of carbon, diamond and diamond-like carbon on said high electrical resistivity layer; said cathode, said high electrical resistivity layer and said nanotube emitter layer form an emitter stack with said nanotube emitter layer exposed, said emitter stack being insulated by an insulating rib section from adjacent emitter stacks, a dielectric material layer perpendicularly overlying a multiplicity of emitter stacks, a gate electrode on top of said dielectric material layer, and an anode formed on a second electrically insulating plate overlying said gate electrode.
