ELECTRON EMISSION CATHODE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF THE SAME, FIELD EMISSION DISPLAY USING ELECTRON EMISSION CATHODE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To emit low-voltage and high-current electrons and prevent the removal of diamond particles from a cathode electrode by improving the electrical contact of the diamond particles with the cathode electrode. SOLUTION: The number of diamond particles are fixed to the cathode electrode 12. An electrically conductive layer 17 of ITO or TAO is formed on the cathode electrode 12 in the state of exposing the top portions of the diamond particles 13. It is preferable that the surfaces of the diamond particles 13 are hydrogen-terminated.
