Abstract
Triode-type field-emitter arrays were developed by screen printing a photosensitive paste including single-walled carbon nanotubes. Ni wall structure (NWS) was electroplated to form a thick gate to suppress diode emission induced by strong electric strengths due to an anode potential and to focus electron beams to their destined color subpixels. It was observed in computer simulations, as well in experiments that the NWS with the optimum thickness was effective in reducing the diode emission and enhancing electron-beam focusing by modifying electrical potentials around the carbon nanotube emitters. Our fully sealed field-emission display panel using the field-emitter arrays with the NWS demonstrated full color moving images without serious diode emission and with satisfactory color separation.Keywords
