L2.1: Late-News Paper: A 4.5-in. Fully Sealed Carbon Nanotube-Based Field-Emission Flat-Panel Display

The unique electron field emission properties of carbon nanotube films are promising for flat panel display application as the cold cathode. In this work, the multiwall carbon nanotube (10–102 nm in diameter, and 103–104 nm in length) film arrays (the pixel size: 50 μ m ×50 μ m ) were deposited on the patterned Ni–Si substrate from hydrocarbon precursor ( C 2 H 2/ H 2) by chemical vapor deposition at low temperature (550°C). The patterned films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The carbon nanotube film arrays exhibit good electron emission properties, e.g. low threshold emission field (below 2 V/μm), high emission current density (above 1 mA/cm2 at 10 V/μm), and high emission luminance spot density on the phosphor coated-ITO(indium tin oxide)-glass anode. These properties are good enough for high-resolution flat panel display application using carbon nanotube film arrays as the cathode.

New Type

Over the past few years, Motorola, as well as several other companies around the world, have been developing a new type of flat panel display, called the field emission display (FED). The FED combines many of the advantages of its cousin, the cathode ray tube (CRT), including high brightness and contrast, wide angle viewability, and speed in a flat package that is only a few millimeters thick. A 14 cm diagonal FED prototype built at Motorola Flat Panel Display Division is shown below, in Figure 1.

Pixel Array

Because of better field emission characteristics, carbon nanotube was a suitable and excellent cathode material for use in the field emission display device. The screen-printing process was adopted in the course of device fabrication for decreasing the manufacturing cost of the pixel array type field emission display. The new simple-structure flat panel display device with carbon nanotube emitters was reported. The design and fabrication process of pixel array cathode structure were also presented. The silver slurry was screen-printed to form the conducting layer, and the insulation slurry was used to form the high quality insulation layer and covering layer, respectively. The whole display device was vacuum-packaged and developed. The fabricated pixel array type field emission display exhibited better field emission performance and adequate brightness.
