Technical field
The present invention relates to display fabrication techniques field, especially a kind of field emission excited gas discharge display and driving method thereof.
Background technology
Along with the development of information display technology, display has become Main Means global, real-time information interchange. From cathode-ray tube display to liquid crystal display, field-emitter display, display of organic electroluminescence, Electronic Paper and 3 D stereo demonstration etc., the just and then paces of modern science and technology of Display Technique, are presented on people at the moment by the bright and colourful world.
The classification of field emission excited gas electric discharge display structure, can distinguish according to the combination of field emission electron source and gas discharge display device PDP structure. Can be divided into CNT-ACPDP type FGD and MIM-DCPDP type FGD; in CNT-ACPDP type FGD structure, adopt medium protective layer; on the surface electrode of surface discharge type interchange PDP, increase electron emission source CNT; this structure can prevent the decline of the electron source emitting performance of gas atom vulnerable to pollution; adopt to exchange and drive; electrode is made up of X, Y electrode and addressing electrode, improves gas discharge efficiency by the secondary that strengthens MgO. Y electrode and addressing electrode are responsible for scanning addressing, and between X electrode and Y electrode, sustain discharge shows. MIM-DCPDP type FGD adopts the strong electron source MIM of contamination resistance; there is no medium protective layer structure; therefore adopt direct drive; on the upper/lower electrode of MIM and anode, apply suitable drive waveforms; by Waveform Control, MIM launches electronics; electronics bumps and causes gas discharge towards anode movement and gas atom, and excited gas produces ultraviolet ray, and fluorescent material is by ultraviolet ray exited luminous.
CNT-ACPDP type FGD manufacture craft is simpler, but drives complicated. Maintain gas discharge because drive circuit comprises DC control Field Electron Emission with exchanging, when increasing component difficulty, improved design cost, in research application, there is significant limitation. FGD is simple in structure for MIM-DCPDP type, is easy to realize, and adopts the method for direct drive that the design difficulty driving is reduced, and cost-saving, MIM electron source has advantages of that driving voltage is low simultaneously, so research is more extensive.
Effective emitting area of tradition MIM negative electrode is limited to pixel size, this attribute has limited current emission density conversely, electronics is because of the scattering through insulating barrier, top electrode simultaneously, and various trap effects and degradedness, cause finally only having few electronics to cross surface potential barrier and be transmitted in vacuum and absorbed by anode, electronic transmitting efficiency low become the shortcoming of MIM maximum. At present, the maximum current emission density of MIM negative electrode is 50 μ A/cm2, well below the requirement of FED. In order to address this problem, propose to change the method for electrode material or thickness of insulating layer, these operations can effectively increase emission. Replace the regulation and control grid of metal film electrode as device using nano material, thin and continuous nano material film, electronics easily passes and is easy to and controls, and possesses equally stronger contamination resistance, and when can making electron emission characteristic degradation speed be slowed down, FGD is increased device lifetime.
