Method of growing isomeric carbon emitters onto triode structure of field emission display

摘要

A triode structure of a field emission display is manufactured with thick-film technology. The triode structure includes a cathode electrode layer that comprises a metallic catalyst. Isomeric carbon emitters can be grown on the cathode electrode layer by CVD process at a low temperature because of the metallic catalyst. Instead of mixing the metallic catalyst in the cathode electrode layer, a metallic catalyst layer can be formed on the cathode electrode layer to facilitate the growth of the isomeric carbon emitters. The combination of thick film technology and low temperature CVD process provide a low cost method for fabricating a large area field emission display with isomeric carbon emitters.
