Active‐matrix field‐emission display based on a CNT emitter and a‐Si TFTs

Abstract— An active‐matrix field‐emission display (AMFED), based on carbon‐nanotube (CNT) emitters and amorphous‐silicon thin‐film transistors (a‐Si TFTs), was developed. The AMFED pixels consisted of a high‐voltage a‐Si TFT and mesh‐gated CNT emitters. The AMFED panel demonstrated high performance for a driving voltage less than 15 V. The low‐cost large‐area AMFED approach using a metal‐mesh technology is proposed.
