Abstract
A flat panel device (300) includes a spacer (308) for providing internal support. The spacer can be made of ceramic or glass-ceramic. Spacer surfaces exposed within the flat panel device are treated to reduce secondary emissions and prevent charging of the spacer surfaces. A light-emitting structure contains a main section (302), a pattern of dark ridges (314) situated along the main section, and a plurality of electron-activated light-emissive regions (313) situated in spaces between the ridges. The dark ridges extend further away from the main section than the light-emissive regions to form a raised black matrix. When the light-emitting structure is used in an optical display, the raised black matrix contacts spacers (308) and, in so doing, protects the light-emissive regions from being damaged. The light-emitting structure can be formed according to various techniques of the invention.

AMENDED CLAIMS
[received by the International Bureau on 24 August 1994 (24.08.94); original claims 27, 28, 31, 33 and 37 amended; remaining claims unchanged (4 pages)]
23. A device as in Claim 19, further comprising an electrically conductive trace extending from each electrode to a location outside an active region of the device, wherein material is selectively removed from at least one of the traces to establish the desired voltages on the electrodes.
24. A device as in Claim 1, further comprising second edge metallization situated between a second edge surface of the spacer and the faceplate such that the edge metallization forms an electrical connection between the spacer and faceplate.
25. A device as in Claim 24, wherein a resistive coating is formed on the spacer surfaces, the edge metallization being electrically connected to the resistive coating.
26. A device as in Claim 25, wherein the interface between the edge metallization and the resistive coating is at a constant distance from an interior surface of the backplate.
27.
