  • Abstract
    Cathodoluminescent flat panel displays can be made with field emitter arrays (FEAs). Using a novel orientation-dependent etching (ODE) and linear thermal oxidation process, the authors have fabricated uniform and reproducible FEAs which yield up to 10 mu A/tip with less than 200-V DC bias voltages. Modulation voltages are in the 10-V region. These FEAs can be the basis for a simple and inexpensive cathodoluminescent flat panel display or TV.<>
