Abstract
The development of cathode ray tubes (CRT) with properties which allows them to be incorporated into a field emission cathode back plane together with the required gating and contact structures, was described. The vertical alignment of the tubes through the growth process is essential to achieve high resolution. For scaling of CNT FED technology to larger sizes, it is necessary to grow directly on glass. CNTs are found to be reliable field emitters due to their graphitic chemical properties. The results show that they are covalently bonded, making them significantly less prone than metal to electromigration with high current densities and high local temperature at the emission site.
