PROCESS FOR IMPROVING THE EMISSION OF ELECTRON FIELD EMITTERS

摘要

This invention provides a process for manufacturing an electron field emitter comprised of an acicular emitting substance such as acicular carbon, an acicular semiconductor, an acicular metal or a mixture thereof, comprising applying a force to the surface of the electron field emitter wherein the force results in the removal of a portion of the electron field emitter thereby forming a new surface of the electron field emitter.
