Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a field emission structure, comprising the steps of: receiving a plurality of magnets from a magnet supplying device; placing each one of said plurality of magnets at a corresponding location of a plurality of locations of said field emission structure, said corresponding location and a corresponding polarity orientation of each of said plurality of magnets relative to each other being defined in accordance with a code that specifies at least one magnet of said plurality of magnets having a first polarity orientation and at least one magnet of said plurality of magnets having a second polarity orientation, said second polarity orientation being different from said first polarity orientation, wherein adjacent magnets of said plurality of magnets that have been placed at two adjacent locations of said plurality of locations of said field emission structure both have said first polarity orientation and produce a repel force, said repel force requiring a holding force to maintain said first polarity orientation of said adjacent magnets and applying the holding force to said field emission structure.
