Patent ID: 7239079

Claim:
A field emission display, comprising: a rear substrate; a cathode arranged on the rear substrate; an emitter arranged on the cathode; a first dielectric layer arranged on the cathode, a first through hole corresponding to the emitter being arranged in the first dielectric layer; a gate electrode arranged on the first dielectric layer, a gate aperture corresponding to the emitter being arranged in the gate electrode; a second dielectric layer arranged on the gate electrode, a second through hole corresponding to the emitter being arranged in the second dielectric layer; and a deflection electrode arranged on the second dielectric layer, the deflection electrode having at least two elements symmetrically arranged to face each other with the emitter therebetween, the deflection electrode being configured to guide an electron beam emanating from the emitter to different subpixels by varying a difference in electric potential applied between a first of the two elements and a second of the two elements.
