Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a field emission display, comprising:constructing a faceplate having a transparent substrate, an anode covering the substrate, a cathodoluminescent film covering the anode, and a plurality of connector pads, the connector pads being spaced apart from one another in a defined pattern;fabricating a baseplate having an emitter substrate with a plurality of emitters, an extraction grid over the emitter substrate with a plurality of holes aligned with the emitters to expose the emitters, and a plurality of bond pads selectively coupled to the emitters, the bond pads being configured in the defined pattern of the connector pads;forming a plurality of raised features substantially simultaneously on a plurality of bonding sites defined by one of the connector pads or the bond pads so that a separate raised feature is formed at each bonding site;positioning the faceplate and the baseplate in a juxtaposed relationship to one another in which the raised features on the bonding sites are aligned with the other of the connector pads or the bond pads; andjoining the faceplate and baseplate together to contact the raised features with both the connector pads and the bond pads.
