Patent ID: 7382089

Claim:
A field emission display, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate opposing one another with a gap therebetween, the first substrate and the second substrate being sealed using a sealant wherein a vacuum assembly is formed between the first substrate and the second substrate in a region encompassed by the sealant; an electron emission assembly located on the first substrate for emitting electrons by generation of electric fields within the electron emission assembly; and an illumination assembly located on the second substrate for realizing a display of images by electrons emitted from the electron emission assembly, wherein the illumination assembly includes (a) a transparent conductive layer located on a surface of the second substrate, the transparent conductive layer having a portion extending beyond the sealant as an anode input terminal to which an anode voltage is applied, (b) a phosphor screen located on the transparent conductive layer, and (c) a metal layer located on the phosphor screen within the vacuum assembly, a portion of the metal layer contacting and electrically connected to the transparent conductive layer.
