Abstract:
A method for making a channel plate for a flat display device, comprising:(a) providing a substantially transparent dielectric substrate, (b) providing a substantially transparent spacer plate having first and second opposed surfaces, (c) forming in the spacer plate a plurality of substantially equally-spaced walls each having a height substantially equal to the thickness of the spacer plate between the first and second surfaces, (d) bonding a thin dielectric sheet over the first surface of the spacer plate, (e) depositing an electrically conductive material over the substrate to form on the substrate spaced electrodes, (f) bonding the spacer plate via its second surface to the substrate with the spaced walls extending generally transverse to the substrate and such that at least portions of the spaced electrodes are located between each adjacent pair of walls.
