Patent ID: 7141923

Claim:
A field emission display, comprising: a cathode plate having row/column signal lines of a belt shape for which row/column addressing is possible on a substrate, and pixels each defined by the row signal line and the column signal line, wherein each pixel has a film-shape field emitter and a control device for controlling the field emitter, having at least two terminals connected to the row/column signal lines and one terminal connected to the film-shape field emitter; an anode plate having a transparent electrode on a substrate and a phosphor on a portion of the transparent electrode, in each pixel; a gate plate having gate holes of at least 10 um and a gate electrode around the top of the gate holes, said gate holes having an inclined inner wall; and spacers for supporting the gate plate between the cathode plate and the anode plate, wherein the field emitter of the cathode plate is constructed to be opposite to the phosphor of the anode plate through the gate holes, and is formed by vacuum packaging.
