A method for affixing a plurality of spacers (150, 250) within a field emission display (100, 200) is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: (i) forming a metallic bonding pad (160, 260) on the inner surface of the anode (110) or cathode (230) (ii) placing an edge of the spacers (150, 250) in intimate physical contact with a portion of the metallic bonding pad (160, 260) thereby providing contacting surfaces (iii) applying a potential difference of about 1000 Volts across the contacting surfaces so that the metallic bonding pad (160, 260) is biased positively with respect to the spacers (150, 250), and (iv) simultaneously heating the region about, and including, the bonding surfaces to a temperature of about 400 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes so that an anodic bond is formed between the contacting surfaces.
