Abstract:
A method of forming laterally segmented face electrodes for a flat panel display spacer comprising:a) defining a length for said electrodes, wherein said length is effective for minimizing zero current shift, wherein said defining a length for said electrodes comprises: a1) determining a value for change in zero current shift from fluctuation in resistance of said spacer; a2) determining a value for change in zero current shift from misalignment; a3) combining said value determined in said a1) and said value determined in said a2) into a total zero current shift value; a4) taking a root summed square of said total zero current shift value: and a5) differentiating said root summed square of said total zero current value with respect to length to determine the length for minimum zero current shift variation; and b) fabricating said face electrodes of said length.
