Field emission display with diode-type field emitters

摘要

A field emission display in which field emission devices are applied to a flat panel display. A field emission display with diode-type field emitters includes an upper plate and a lower plate, the upper plate and the lower plate are vacuum-packaged in parallel. The lower plate includes a plurality of column signal buses and a plurality of row signal buses, film type field emitters, and switching devices. The column signal buses and the row signal buses are made of metallic material. Pixels are defined by the column signal buses and the row signal buses. A film type field emitter and a switching device are formed inside each pixel. The switching device controls the field emitter on the basis of scan signals and data signals. The scan signals and data signals are loaded to the switching devices through the column signal buses and the row signal buses. The switching device includes at least three electrodes for connection with the column signal bus, the row signal bus, and the field emitter.
