Patent attributes
A field emission device has pixels with cathode and anode provided on the same plane, so that electrons directly penetrate an independently provided fluorescent powder layer to produce light, giving the display the advantages of easy focusing, no dark spots, high brightness, and enhanced light emitting performance. Since the light produced by the fluorescent powder layer is not blocked by the anode, the problem of charge accumulation on the fluorescent powder layer is avoided, and it is not necessary to use expensive light-transmittable conducting glass as the anode. With the cathode and the anode located at the same plane, it is not necessary to use a high precision spacer to maintain a fixed distance between the cathode and the anode, enabling the device to be manufactured at reduced cost and high good yield.
