PATTERNED RESISTOR LAYER SUITABLE FOR A CARBON NANO-TUBE ELECTRON-EMITTING DEVICE, AND ASSOCIATED FABRICATION METHOD

摘要

An electron-emitting device contains an emitter resistor layer (125) patterned into multiple laterally separated sections situated between the electron-emissive elements (155), on one hand, and emitter electrodes (120), on the other hand. Sections of the seed layer (130) are spaced apart along each emitter electrode (120) to electrically decouple electron emission elements (155) disposed on the resistor layer (125).
