CARBON NANOTUBE PASTE, ELECTRON EMITTING SOURCE, FIELD EMISSION DISPLAY, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF THESE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a CNT paste suitable for manufacturing an electron source having a high emission property.

SOLUTION: An adhesive containing a metal soap having a component of metal such as bismuth (Bi) (naphthenic acid bismuth (III) toluene solution or the like) is added in a vehicle, and carbon nanotube (CNT) is dispersed in this vehicle to make a paste. As an organic solvent of the vehicle, p-menthane-1,8-diol acetate based solvent which is a terpene based solvent is used. When forming an electron emitting source, ITO film 12 is patterned in a desired shape by photolithography and a cathode electrode 12 is made. The CNT paste layer is printed on the cathode electrode 12 by a screen stencil method, and this CNT paste is calcined and applied surface activation to make an emission chip 13.
