Abstract :
Arrays of formed MIM emitters are presently being investigated for use in flat panel displays. This work describes the procedures through which such characteristics of MIM emitter arrays as emission current density and emission uniformity can be improved. Results on measuring a lifetime of a display prototype are also presented
