Abstract

The present invention discloses a field emission display board and a driving method thereof. The present invention is mainly characterized in that a bar-shaped grid is positioned under a cathode, and the high voltage of an anode and the voltage of a modulating grid are used for enabling the cathode to generate field electron emission, and thus, the electron emission of each display unit is controlled to display an image. A plane auxiliary focusing electrode is used for preventing an electron beam from diffusing so as to enlarge the anode distance and increase the working voltage of the anode. Compared with the existing field emission display board, the present invention has the advantages of high resolution and luminous brightness and low manufacturing cost.

Description

A kind of field emission display board and driving method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of field emission display board, relate in particular to the triode type field emission display board.
Background technology
Conventional triode type field emission display board structure is assembled by prebasal plate 1a, metacoxal plate 2a subtend as shown in Figure 1, the distance that is maintained fixed by supporter 3a array.Prebasal plate 1a go up to make anode 4a, fluorescent material 5a, is followed successively by bar shaped negative electrode 6a on the metacoxal plate 2a, the dielectric layer 7a of opening exposed portions serve negative electrode and perpendicular to the strip gab grid 8a of bar shaped negative electrode 6a.Wherein make the material 9a that can produce the field-causing electron emission, the little point of for example various conductions, diamond thin, graphite or CNT (carbon nano-tube) etc. on the negative electrode with on the crosspoint of bar shaped dielectric layer and bar shaped gate openings.The field emitted electron that negative electrode produces passes gate openings and flows to anode.The shortcoming of this structure is that grid and negative electrode are made relatively difficulty in manufacture process.
Another kind of triode type field emission display board structure is that grid 8b is embedded under the negative electrode 6b as shown in Figure 2, utilize the highfield of grid and cathode edge, make cathode edge produce the field-causing electron emission, because grid is produced on before the negative electrode, and do not influence the making of negative electrode, therefore solved the making difficult problem of said structure.But therefore this structure can not improve anode voltage owing to lost the shielding action of grid antianode, otherwise can directly make negative electrode produce the field-causing electron emission, and loses the modulating action of grid; Mainly concentrate on cathode side edge and grid infall because field-causing electron is launched on the other hand, so cathode side is bigger along current density, is unfavorable for improving the life-span; This structure electron scattering simultaneously is serious, and the bundle spot is bigger, so brightness is low, must dwindle the distance between negative electrode and the anode in order to prevent to crosstalk, and has equally also limited anode voltage, is unfavorable for improving luminous efficiency.
Summary of the invention
The invention discloses a kind of field emission display board and driving method thereof.Its principal character is that the bar shaped grid is positioned at the below of negative electrode, and high pressure by anode and modulation grid voltage make negative electrode produce the field-causing electron emission to launch display image with the electronics of controlling each display unit.Prevent the electron beam diffusion by the assisted focused electrode in plane, thereby can increase the anode distance, improve anode working voltage.The existing relatively field emission display board of the present invention has higher resolution and luminosity, lower manufacturing cost.
Field emission display board structure among the present invention is assembled by prebasal plate glass 1, metacoxal plate glass 2 subtends as shown in Figure 3, the distance that is maintained fixed by supporter 3 arrays.Make anode 4, fluorescent material 5 on the prebasal plate glass 1, be followed successively by bar shaped grid 6 on the metacoxal plate glass 2, thickness is 0.1~50 micron local or the dielectric layer 7 that all covers bar shaped grid 6, makes bar shaped negative electrode 8 and the bar shaped assisted focused electrode 9 vertical with bar shaped grid 6 on dielectric layer 7 at interval.Wherein 8 on bar shaped negative electrode is as the material that can produce the field-causing electron emission, or makes the material that can produce the field-causing electron emission with place, bar shaped grid crosspoint or its all surfaces thereon.To carry out hermetic seal with low-melting glass around above-mentioned prebasal plate 1 and the metacoxal plate 2,, just formed field emission display board provided by the present invention through vacuumizing the back sealed-off.The working method of this display panel is as follows: establishing the negative electrode low level is Vcl, (being generally 0V), high level is Vch, the grid low level is Vgl, high level is Vgh, applies fixedly high pressure Va on anode, is generally hundreds of to several ten thousand volts, its voltage amplitude requires to when grid being (grid potential is high level Vgh usually) when allowing the negative electrode field emission, and negative electrode field-causing electron emission reaches and shows required peak value; And when grid (grid potential is low level Vgl usually, is lower than negative electrode low level Vcl) when forbidding the negative electrode field emission, the emission of negative electrode field-causing electron ends.The assisted focused utmost point applies the level Vf that is lower than Vcl, and it act as: when negative electrode is emission state, prevent the electron beam diffusion; When negative electrode when forbidding emission state, cut off the anticathode influence of anode high voltage.Grid is carried out addressing line by line, and selected line applies high level Vgh, and remaining row applies low level Vgl, applies on the negative electrode and the corresponding pulse of required display image, and when needing to show on institute's respective column, corresponding negative electrode is low level Vcl; And the negative electrode of correspondence is high level Vch when not having demonstration on institute's respective column; Width or number by pulse on the control cathode realize that gray scale shows.So line by line, circulation can realize that video shows frame by frame.
The present invention has the following advantages: 1. compare with traditional audion because negative electrode is made after grid, so field emission material is not subjected to the influence of grid technology, manufacturing process is simple, therefore, the present invention is suitable for producing in enormous quantities, improves rate of finished products, reduces production costs.2. compare with existing back grid audion, cathode emissive area of the present invention increases greatly, so the required current density minimizing of negative electrode, helps improving device lifetime.3. because the effect of the assisted focused utmost point in the field emission display board of the present invention has reduced the characteristic that electron beam defocuses in the back grid structure, therefore can increase the distance between the front-back baseboard and can not increase hot spot.Help improving anode working voltage and increase this distance, thereby allow to adopt the high high-pressure fluorescence powder of luminous efficiency to improve the luminous efficiency of device.
