Description

A kind of field emission display board and driving method thereof
(1) 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.
(2) background of invention:
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 goes up and makes bar shaped anode 4a, fluorescent material 5a, be followed successively by the bar shaped negative electrode 6a vertical on the metacoxal plate 2a with bar shaped anode 4a, the dielectric layer 7a of opening exposed portions serve negative electrode is with corresponding with bar shaped anode 4a, the strip gab grid 8a of vertical and bar shaped negative electrode 4a.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 anode 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 6a 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; 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.
(3) summary of the invention:
The objective of the invention is to provide a kind of triode type field emission display board and driving method thereof, it is characterized in that this display panel directly makes negative electrode produce the field-causing electron emission by anode, and stop negative electrode to produce field-causing electron to launch and show required image by on the grid that is embedded under the negative electrode, applying the voltage that is lower than negative electrode.This display panel has higher resolution and luminosity, more uniform demonstration, higher rate of finished products, 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 4, 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 the local of 0.1-50 micron or the dielectric layer 7 that all covers bar shaped grid 6, makes the bar shaped negative electrode 8 of the width vertical with bar shaped grid 6 less than its adjacent spacing on dielectric layer 7.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 Vco, the grid low level is Vgl, and high level is Vgh, applies fixedly high pressure Va on anode, be generally hundreds of to several ten thousand volts, its voltage amplitude requires to when grid being (grid potential is high level Vgh usually, and identical or close with negative electrode low level Vcl) when allowing the negative electrode field emission, and negative electrode field-causing electron emission reaches and shows required peak value; And work as grid for forbidding negative electrode field emission (grid potential is low level Vgl usually, is lower than negative electrode low level Vcl), the emission of negative electrode field-causing electron ends.Grid is carried out addressing line by line, and selected line applies high level Vgh remaining row and 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. because negative electrode is made grid after, so field emission material can not influence grid, and manufacturing process is simple, and therefore, the present invention is suitable for production in enormous quantities, the raising rate of finished products reduces production costs.2. in field emission display board of the present invention, the anticathode effect of grid is launched and is realized controlling by the restriction cathode electronics, and the electronics emission is directly to be produced by anode high voltage and cathodic process, therefore makes negative electrode produce the good uniformity of field-causing electron emission than traditional grid voltage that passes through.3. 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.4. owing to grid in the field emission display board of the present invention is near apart from negative electrode, therefore anticathode control action is greater than anode, therefore compare with existing back grid audion, can improve anode working voltage, thereby allow to adopt the high high-pressure fluorescence powder of luminous efficiency to improve the luminous efficiency of device.5. compare with existing back grid audion, the electron beam that negative electrode produces among the present invention defocusing effect in the process of anode motion is little, therefore can increase the distance between the front-back baseboard and can not influence hot spot.Help improving anode working voltage equally and increase this distance.
