The suitable paste proportion was found. Nano-diamond film (NDF) was prepared by sol-gel coating method on ITO glass at 3000/min. The field emission characteristics of luminance-current, luminance-voltage and luminance-power of Nano-diamond film were analyzed and tested. Comparing these tested curves, the luminance was well proportional to current was got. Theoretic, the inner resistance of NDF field emission display (FED) consumes electric energy and real voltage change between the cathode and the anode of NDF-FED was very small after electrons emit. So the characteristic of NDF-FED was preferable to describe by luminance-current linear relationship, which was advantageous to device tested and designed.展开更多

A circuit model is proposed to estimate the total power consumption in an FED panel which is composed of anode energy consumption, energy loss due to the leakage current and the energy dissipated in the parasitic capacitances. Moreover, the parasitic capacitances play a vital part in the power consumption and driving performance. In order to lower the parasitic capacitances, multiple dielectric layers are used as the gate electrode. Due to different etching speeds, a novel pixel structure is formed. As a result, the power consumption of an FED panel is reduced by 28% in a full white picture, and the electron beam performance is also better than that of the conventional structure.展开更多

Normally, the gate electrode can be fabricated with screen printing methods and a channels matrix can be fabricated by two- faced chemical corrosion. By adjusting the etch time and the concentration of acid in the process, different shapes of the tunnels can be obtained. The size and morphology of channels are observed by a scanning electron microscope （SEM）, and the ingredients of the corrosion solution are detected by infrared ray （IR） analysis. Voltage is added to the triode structure for obtaining the brightness image of the spot on the screen. Eventually, the electron trace pulling from cathode to anode under an electric field is obtained by simulation. It is concluded that the simulation results accord with the experimental results which realize the optimized triode structure.展开更多

By co-sintering the printed silver and CNT layers, CNTs geometrically matched with Ag surface and/or embedded into Ag layer at the bottom of the co-sintered film, large CNTs block and bulk silver nested each other at the top of the co-sintered film. All these structures increased the contact area at CNT/Ag interface, which could increase the probability of forming ohmic contact at CNT/Ag interface. The luminescent stability of printed CNT-FED with co-sintered cathode could be improved as 5.6 times high as that of common devices.展开更多

The main difference between a conventional Field Emission Display （FED） device and a ItOPFED lies in the spacer structure. In a HOPFED, two dielectric plates, named hop and flu spacer, are sandwiched between the emitter and the front plate. The objective of this spacer structure is to improve the performance oF a FED substantially with notable contrast, color purity and luminance uniformity. In order to optimize the structure of the device and to make the electron spot on the screen match the requirement of the phosphor dot dimension, the influence of electrical and structural parameters of the device on the electron spot profile was studied by numerical simulation in this paper. Monte Carlo method was employed to calculate the potential distribution inside hop and flu spacers due to secondary electrons mechanism plays an important role in HOPFED. The results indicated that the potential distribution in the spacers and spot profile depended strongly on the hop voltage, anode voltage and spacer＇s layout. This study may provide a useful theoretical support for optimizing the structure in HOPFED.展开更多
