Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method manufacturing an anode of a flat screen display as well as an anode obtained by this process and a flat screen using this anode.
- the invention relates in particular to manufacture of an anode of a flat screen microtip display ("microtips").
- the invention applies in particular to the manufacture of anodes for flat display screens in colors.
- Figure 1 is a schematic view and partial of a known flat screen structure with microtips with which one can implement the invention.
- Such a microtip screen includes essentially a microtip cathode 2 and a cathodoluminescent anode 4 which is placed opposite this cathode.
- the cathodoluminescent anode 4 comprises a transparent substrate 6, generally made of glass, which lets in the light produced by cathodoluminescence and through which we observe the screen.
- the cathode 2 includes a set of parallel conductors 8 forming the columns of this cathode. Only one of these conductors is shown in Figure 1. These conductors 8 are formed on a substrate electrically insulating 10 generally made of glass.
- This set of conductors 8 is covered an electrically insulating layer 12 on which the grid 14 of the cathode is formed.
- This grid is a set of parallel lines 16. A single line is shown in Figure 1. Lines 16 are orthogonal to columns 8.
- Holes 18 are formed through the insulating layer 12 and the grid 14 to the columns 8.
- the microtips 20 are formed in these holes 18.
- the screen schematically represented on the Figure 1 uses the electric field created between the conductors 8 and grid 14 so that the electrons are extracted from microtips 20 and reach the phosphor elements of the anode.
- the anode 4 is provided with strips of phosphor elements 22R, 22B and 22V which alternate with each other and correspond respectively to the three colors red, blue and green.
- These bands of phosphor elements are respectively deposited on electrically tapes conductors 24R, 24B and 24V which are formed on the substrate 6, parallel to columns 8, from an electrically conductive and transparent layer for example indium oxide doped with tin.
- Figure 2 is a schematic view and partial view of another known flat screen structure with microtips with which one can implement the invention.
- Electric arcs can also produce, in the case of figure 1, between two bands neighboring phosphor elements due to the potential difference between these two bands.
- the conductive strips of the anode are connected to one or more interconnection conductors through electrical resistors.
- bands 24R, 24B and 24V are respectively connected to three conductors 28R, 28B and 28V interconnection via electrical resistors 30R, 30B and 30V.
- the object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback.
- the present invention proposes to form resistors and bands conductive on which the elements are formed phosphors during the same stage of a process manufacture of the anode of a flat screen visualization.
- the present invention has relates to a method for manufacturing an anode of a flat display screen, in particular a screen microtip, process in which one forms, on a electrically insulating substrate, at least one set of electrically conductive strips carrying bands of phosphor elements and respectively minus one interconnected electrical conductor to the conductive strips through electrical resistance, this process being characterized by what, to form the conductive strips and the resistors, an electrically formed layer is formed conductive on the substrate and these bands are formed conductive and these resistors from this conductive layer.
- the bands can be distributed conductive in groups and form resistance by group of conductive strips.
- Resistors can have a form corrugated to reduce the size of the substrate the anode.
- an anode substrate and a layer are used conductive which are transparent so as to leave pass the light produced by the elements phosphors.
- This conductive layer is for example in indium oxide doped with tin or ITO.
- the formation of conductive strips and resistors can include photolithography and an etching of the conductive layer.
- the present invention also relates to a anode of a flat display screen comprising, on an electrically insulating substrate, at least one set of electrically conductive strips carrying bands of phosphor elements and respectively minus one interconnected electrical conductor to the conductive strips through electrical resistance, this anode being characterized in that the resistors are formed on the substrate, from the same electrically conductive material as the conductive strips.
- the electrically conductive material is for example indium oxide doped with tin.
- the invention also relates to a screen display plate including anode cathodoluminescent object of the invention, placed in gaze of a cathode capable of emitting electrons by field effect.
- the screens of Figures 1 and 2 use, for their anode, strips transparent conductors. These conductive strips are for example made of indium oxide doped with tin.
- Figure 4 is an exemplary embodiment an anode A1 according to the invention, for a screen like the one shown on the figure 1.
- This area constitutes the useful surface of the screen.
- interconnection conductors 32R, 32B and 32V are for example made of indium oxide doped with tin, which allows them to be made at the same time that the conductive strips and the resistors, or another conductive material, for example from aluminum.
- Each conductive strip is connected to one of the interconnection conductors and includes, in its end closest to this conductor, a resistance which is therefore in ITO.
- the bands 34R, 34B and 34V are respectively connected to conductors 32R, 32B and 32V and the corresponding resistors are respectively referenced 36R, 36B and 36V.
- resistors 36R and 36V are respectively in contact with the conductors 32R and 32V interconnection while the ends respective resistors 36B form pads 38.
- Each pad 38 is subsequently connected to interconnection conductor 32B by a technique of classic interconnection, for example the technique called "bonding".
- the sets of bands 34R, 34B and 34V are alternately polarized and their voltage alternately applied is less than 1 kV. She is for example 500 V.
- resistors have a value such that the current in the conductive strips 34R, 34B and 34V either limited to a few milliamps an electric arc will not be able to start. For example with tension anode of 500 V and resistances of 500 k ⁇ maximum current is limited to 1 mA, which prevents the formation of electric arcs.
- the current per pixel being of the order of 20 ⁇ A an indium oxide doped with tin is used, the resistance per square is 500 ⁇ .
- Each of resistors 36R, 36B and 36V of 500 k ⁇ then form by example a 20 ⁇ m wide and 20 mm long strip.
- This strip can be straight but has preferably a wavy shape, as seen on the Figure 4, to less clutter the substrate 6 of the anode.
- Figure 5 is another example of manufacture of an anode A2 in accordance with the invention, for a screen like the one shown on Figure 2.
- Such resistances can for example each be formed of a straight strip or preferably wavy, in ITO of square resistance 1000 ⁇ , 20 ⁇ m wide and 60 mm long.
- the invention does not only apply to microtip screens. It also applies to the manufacture of all emission screens field including carbon emission screens or microcrack screens.
