Patent ID: 7883387

Claim:
A method for making a pulsed high-voltage silicon quantum dot fluorescent lamp, the method comprising the steps of providing an excitation source by the steps of: providing a first substrate; coating the first substrate with a buffer layer of titanium; coating the buffer layer with a catalytic layer of a material selected from a group consisting of nickel, aluminum and platinum; and providing a plurality of nanometer discharging elements one the catalytic layer; providing an emission source by the steps of: providing a second substrate; coating the second substrate with a transparent electrode film of titanium nitride; and coating the transparent electrode film with a silicon quantum dot fluorescent film comprising silicon quantum dots; and providing a pulsed high-voltage source between the excitation source and the emission source to generate a pulsed field-effect electric field to cause the nanometer discharging elements to release electrons and accelerate the electrons to excite the silicon quantum dots to emit pulsed visible light.
