Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a thin image display apparatus using a plurality of cold cathodes.
  • a number of thin display apparatuses com­prising a plurality of cold cathodes arranged two-­dimensinally for displaying an image using X-Y matrix electrodes have been disclosed in the related art.
  • a thin image display apparatus using a cold cathode of electric field emission type is closely watched.
  • This thin diplay apparatus as shown in Fig. 5A, has a substrate with the surface thereof formed of a plurality of cold cathodes of thin film field emission type in a density as high as 106 to 107 units/cm2.
  • Fig. 5A has a substrate with the surface thereof formed of a plurality of cold cathodes of thin film field emission type in a density as high as 106 to 107 units/cm2.
  • these cathodes make up an X electrode 22 as one part of the matrix electrodes on the surface of a substrate 21, on which a Y electrode 24 is formed as the other part of the matrix electrodes together with an insulating layer 23.
  • a minute aperture 25 one ⁇ m to 1.5 ⁇ m in diameter is formed in the Y electrode at each inter-section of the X-Y electrodes, and the insulating layer 23 is etched.
  • a substrate assembly thus formed is rotated, while high a melting point metal such as tungsten or molybdenum is diagonally deposited by evapo­ration thereby to form a conical cold-cathode chip 26.
  • the unrequired metal layer in the surface is removed to produce a plurality of electron sources of cold cathodes of thin film field emission type.
  • These X-Y matrix electron sources are arranged in opposed relationship with a face plate 27 coated with a phosphor material 28 to configure an image display apparatus.
  • This image display apparatus which comprises as many as more than 1000 minute electron sources in each pixel, generally has a uniform characteristic in spite of possible variations in the characteristics of individual minute electron sources, thus producing a comparatively uniform brightness over the whole screen.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a thin image display apparatus comprising an insulating substrate having two-dimensionally arranged electron source units controlled by X-Y matrix control electrodes and a face plate coated with a phosphor material arranged in opposed relationship with the insulating substrate wherein the said electron scorce units corresponding to each intersection of X-Y matrix control electrodes includes a cold cathode connected to an X-control electrode and a gate electrode connected to a Y-control electrode opposed to the cold cathode in the same plane, the electron source being formed in the part of the substrate surface on other than at least one of the X- and Y- control electrodes.
  • a high electric field of approximately 107 V/cm is formed at the forward end of the cold cathode and electrons are emitted. A part of the electrons thus emitted enters the anode directly. Another part of the electrons flow into the opposite gate electrode thereby to generate secondary electrons in the surface of the gate electrode.
  • the secondary electrons thus generated are accelerated by a positive voltage (hereinafter called the "anode voltage") applied to the phosphor face of the opposed face plate and bombarded on the phosphor material to emit light.
  • the apparatus according to the present invention in which a plurality of cold cathodes of planar field emission type are formed on the surface of an insulating substrate defined by X-control electrodes and Y-control electrodes, has the advantages (1) that the electric capacity between the electrodes is extreme­ly reduced (to 1/20 to 1/30 of the related art), (2) that the production cost is low since cold cathodes and gate electrodes are capable of being formed at the same time, and (3) that crosstalks are very small.
  • FIG. 1 A partial sectional view of an image display apparatus according to the present invention is shown in Fig. 1.
  • the image display apparatus comprises a glass substrate 1 having an electron source for electric field emission at each intersection of X-Y matrix electrodes, and a face plate 4 coated with phosphor material in opposed relationship with the glass substrate 1.
  • the glass substrate 1 has cold cathode 2 and gate electrodes 3 arranged face to face on the surface.
  • a positive voltage of, say, 100 V is applied to the gate electrodes 3 with respect to the cold cathodes 2
  • electron beams 7 are emitted.
  • a part of electrons thus emitted flows into the gate electrodes 3, while the other part is accelerated by a high voltage of, say, 500 V applied to an anode 5 and hits a phosphor surface thereby to cause the phosphor to emit light.
  • FIG. 2 An enlarged perspective view of an electron source is shown in Fig. 2.
  • a multiplicity of sawtoothed protrusions 8 are formed in the surface of the cold cathode 2 opposed to the gate electrode 3. Further, the surface of the glass substrate 1 has a recess 9 between the cold cathode 2 and the gate electrode 3 to facili­tate formation of a high electric field at the forward end of the cold cathode 2.
  • Fig. 3 shows a part of electrode arrangement.
  • X-control electrodes X1, X2, X3, ... X n and Y-control electrodes Y1, Y2, Y3, ... Y n make up matrix control electrodes.
  • a plurality of electron sources 13 are formed on the substrate surface defined by these control electrodes.
  • Each electron source 13, which is con­figured as shown in Fig. 2, includes a cold cathode 2 connected to an X-control electrode and a gate electrode 3 connected to a Y-control electrode.
  • This construction of the electron sources 15 not overlaid on the X- or Y-control electrodes is a reduction of 1/20 to 1/30 of the area required by the prior art for superposing the electrodes on each other through an insulating layer. As a result, the probability of short-circuiting between electrodes due to a pinhole in the insulating layer and the electric capacity are decreased to 1/20 to 1/30.
  • a film of such a metal as nickel is deposited by evaporation to the thickness of 0.5 ⁇ m over the whole surface of the glass substrate, and formed in stripes by photolithography. Electrodes are formed to the width of 0.1 mm.
  • An SiO2 film as thick as 1 ⁇ m is deposited as an insulating layer by the CVD process, and a part of the insulating film over an X-control electrode is removed to form a window for connecting to a cold cathode.
  • a tungsten film is deposited by evaporation to the thickness of 0.2 ⁇ m, so that a cold cathode 2, a gate electrode 3 and a Y-control electrode are formed simultaneously by photolithography.
  • the Y-control electrode is made as wide as 0.5 mm.
  • the protrusions of the cold cathod are set at an interval of 2 ⁇ m from the gate electrode. There are approximately 500 protrusions 8 per electron source unit (which correspond to one pixel). As the next process, the whole substrate is immersed in a buffer etching solution to form a recess 9 at the forward end of the cold cathode as shown in Fig. 2.
  • the electrode material for forming an X-­control electrode is not limited to nickel metal, but may preferably take the form of aluminum, titanium, gold-chromium alloy or other metal material which has a high adhesion with the glass substrate and low in resistivity. Also, a silver electrode or a gold elec­trode may be formed by the screen printing process or the like.
  • the SiO2 film used as an insulating layer may be replaced by another material of high insulation characteristic such as SiN, SiO or Al2O3. Instead of tungsten, on the other hand, tantalum, molybdenum or an alloy or carbide thereof having a high melting point may be used as a material of the cold cathode with equal effect.
  • a glass substrate having electron sources units 13 in the number of 480 x 660 arranged in matrix are disposed in opposed relations with a face plate coated with a ZnO:Zn phosphor material at inter­vals of 0.3 mm, and the surrounding parts are sealed with frit glass of a low melting point.
  • the resulting assembly is evacuated to produce an image display apparatus with a screen size of 10 inches.
  • the three primary colors of red, green and blue may be arranged in stripes to produce a color image.
  • An electrode configuration of a two-dimen­sional electron source is shown as a perspective view in Fig. 4.
  • Stripe electrodes 10 having a width of 0.1 mm and thickness of 3 ⁇ m are formed by the screen printing method on the surface of the glass substrate 1.
  • frit glass of low melting point is laid to the thick­ness of 1 ⁇ m by screen printing at intersections of the stripe electrodes 10 and Y-control electrodes to form an insulating layer 12.
  • Y-control electrodes 11 having a width of 0.05 mm and thickness of 1 ⁇ m are formed in stripes.
  • a cold cathode material WSi2 is formed by sputtering over the whole surface, and cold cathodes 2 and gate electrodes 3 are formed at the same time by photolithograhy.
  • the cold cathodes 2 and the gate electrodes 3 are engaged in comb, and the sides of these electrodes opposed to each other are arranged in parallel to the X-control electrodes (perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the Y-control elec­trodes).
  • This arrangement causes emitted electron beams to widen somewhat along the longitudinal direction of the Y-control electrodes but not substantially along the perpendicular direction thereof.
  • electron beams are prevented from hitting the phosphor material corresponding to adjacent Y-control electrodes, so that what are called crosstalks rarely occur, thus producing a high-definition image display apparatus.
  • color mixing is effectively prevented in a color image display apparatus configured by three-color phosphor materials in stripes.
  • a glass substrate 1 making up a two-dimensional electron source and a face plate coated with a phosphor material are sealed with each other in opposed relations and evacuated in the same manner as in the first embodiment thereby to test produce an image display apparatus, which is capable of displaying a clear image substantially free of crosstalks like the first embodiment.
