A field emission display having a plurality of cathodes; a cathodoluminescent anode; a plurality of control electrodes for controlling the flow of electrons between the cathodes and the anode; a focus grid comprising an apertured, conductive sheet; and a dielectric material is disposed on the focus grid between the conductive sheet and the control electrodes. With such an arrangement, the dielectric material prevents the focus grid from electrically contacting the control electrodes. Further, it has been discovered that high angle electrons emitted by each pixel are inhibited from passing through the focus grid associated with an adjacent pixel to reduce cross-talk. It is believed that surface charge forms on the dielectric material and acts as an additional focusing structure that reduces the number of high angle electrons emitted from one pixel from passing through an adjacent focus grid aperture resulting in a "cross-talk" image on the cathode. In another embodiment, the dielectric layer is disposed between, and in contact with, the focus grid and the cathode structure to provide an integral structure which prevents contact between the surface of the focus grid and the gate electrodes. A method is provided for forming a grid for a field emission display. The method includes the step of spraying a dielectric material towards a surface of the grid while a vacuum draws the spray from the surface through apertures in the grid.
