Abstract:
A field emission display panel having a cathode and an anode on the same panel substrate comprising:a first electrically insulating plate for use as a first panel substrate, a first plurality of emitter stacks formed substantially equally spaced from each other at a predetermined spacing in a longitudinal direction on said first electrically insulating plate, each of said emitter stacks being positioned parallel to a transverse direction of said first insulating plate and comprises sequentially a layer of a dielectric material, a layer of a first electrically conductive material and a layer of nanotube emitters with said layer of dielectric material intimately contacting said first electrically insulating plate, a second plurality of electrically conductive strips formed of a substantially transparent material in-between said plurality of emitter stacks insulated from each other by said layer of dielectric material, a second plurality of fluorescent powder coating strips formed on said second plurality of electrically conductive strips each for emitting a red, green or blue light upon activation by electrons emitted from said layer of nanotube emitters on said first plurality of emitter stacks, a second electrically insulating plate positioned over and spaced-apart from said first electrically insulating plate for use as a second panel substrate, and a plurality of side panels joining peripheries of said first and second electrically insulating plates together forming a vacuum-tight cavity therein.
