Abstract

The NWS was implemented into the CNT-FEAs by Ni electroplating. Calculations showed that the thick NWS surrounding a set of CNT dots with the triode structure considerably reduced electric-field strengths given by an anode potential near the surface of the CNT dots, resulting in a decrease of possibility that diode emission occurred by an anode voltage. It was found that diode emission is experimentally suppressed up to the anode voltages of 3 kV in the CNT-FEAs with the 20 μm thick NWS, while diode emission began to occur at the anode voltages of 1 kV in the FEAs without the NWS. The simulations of electron-beam trajectories for the FEAs with the NWS showed that emitted electrons spread out, as the gate biases increased. Electrons were well focused up to the gate voltages of 20 V. The fully sealed CNT-FEDs with the NWS demonstrated full color moving images with satisfied color separation as well as with the suppression of diode emission.
