Abstract:
A carbon nanotube field emission display (FED) comprising:front and rear substrates disposed to face each other and be separated by a predetermined gap; cathodes formed on the rear substrate in a striped pattern; barrier ribs formed on the cathodes to a predetermined thickness at predetermined intervals so as to expose the cathodes at predetermined intervals; carbon nanotubes formed on the cathodes exposed by the barrier ribs, for the emission of electrons; a mesh structure mounted on the barrier ribs, the mesh structure comprising opening portions for passing electrons emitted from the carbon nanotubes and slots in a region corresponding to gaps between the barrier ribs; spacers for keeping a predetermined gap between the front and rear substrates, each of the spacers being shaped into a rugged bar having protrusions and the protrusions being inserted between the barrier ribs through the slots; anodes formed on the front substrate in a striped pattern crossing the cathodes; and luminescent material layers deposited on the anodes.
