Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Several field emission based, flat screen display prototypes have now been developed. To date these devices have been produced using micron scale lithography to define the emitter and grid structure, and whilst these lithographic techniques are applicable to displays up to 10 across they represent a significant fraction of the device cast and at present prevent production of any larger displays. We propose to develop techniques for fabricating field emitting points within the pores of anodised aluminium. In this way it is the naturally-occurring pores that define the dimensions of the emitters and if this technology can be used for field emitter displays it will mean that micro scale lithography is no longer required. We will develop the materials science and technology of producing these emitters and develop a suitable address and ballast layer so that the structure may be directly incorporated into a display device.
