Description

A kind of cathode construction of back grid field emission display and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to field emission flat-panel display, adopt a kind of novel cathode construction, improve the resolution and the brightness uniformity of back grid field emission display spare, reduce manufacturing cost.
Background technology
Field emission display device (Field Emission Display Panel) is a kind of novel flat-panel display device.This display adopts field emitter as electron source.If field emitter is applied a very strong electric field, because tunnel effect, electronics can escape into vacuum by emitter, produces field emission.The electronics of launching from electron source bombards fluorescent material after focusing on, excitated fluorescent powder is luminous, realizes that image shows.Because the video presenter of field emission display device reason is very approaching with traditional cathode ray tube (Cathode Ray Tube), so field emission display device can reach the image displaying quality identical with CRT.
Field-emitter display is a kind of flat-panel display device, field-transmitting cathode and gate electrode are ranks and arrange, field-transmitting cathode is made up of cathode electrode and field emission body, target and grid apply data-signal and sweep signal respectively, realization matrix scanning, cause selected cathode emission electronics, anode applies with respect to grid and wants high high-voltage signal, is that the bombardment phosphor anode of cathode emission is luminous.In Field Emission Display, the emitting performance of field-transmitting cathode is the key factor that influences its image displaying quality.In order to make cathode emission uniform and stable, between cathode electrode and field emission body, increase by a resistive layer usually.In field emission display,, occur crosstalking of emission between the different cathode columns easily, thereby influence image displaying quality owing to adopt matrix-scanning.Therefore in Field Emission Display, when particularly high-resolution shows, must guarantee that emitter aims at the accurate of cathode electrode, so the difficulty in actual fabrication is bigger.
A kind of can be fairly simple the method for realization large-area manufacturing Field Emission Display screen be adopt back grid Field Emission Display structure as shown in Figure 1.On cathode base 1, at first prepare back grid electrode 2; Thereafter the method by printing or plated film prepares insulating medium layer 3 on back grid; The preparation cathode electrode 4 vertical on dielectric with the back grid electrode direction; Preparation resistive layer 5 and field emitter 6 on cathode electrode; Preparation color phosphor pattern 8 on anode substrate 7; With cathode base and anode substrate sealing-in exhaust, form the vacuum working environment in the device.When the back grid field emission display operate as normal, anode applies a high pressure to guarantee the fluoroscopic energy of electron bombard; Back grid applies sweep signal selection work row; Negative electrode applies data-signal, determines the brightness of each picture element.In this back grid field emission display structure, emitter material must be produced on the cathode electrode exactly.If emissive material slightly surpasses cathode electrode, then may cause the short circuit between the adjacent negative electrode data wire.If the width of emitter material is less than the width of cathode electrode,, driving voltage is increased sharply though can not form short circuit between cathode electrode.When display device resolution was higher, spacing was very little between the cathode electrode, and the patterning of emitter coating prepares that difficulty is big, cost is high.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem: the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of cathode construction of the good relative cheap back grid field emission display of a kind of high-resolution, brightness uniformity and preparation method thereof with manufacturing cost.
Technical scheme: a kind of cathode construction of back grid field emission display of the present invention, it is the back grid electrode that on cathode base, is provided with strip, on the back grid electrode, be provided with insulating medium layer, on insulating medium layer, be provided with the strip cathode electrode vertical with the back grid electrode direction; Be provided with the field emission body layer on the cathode electrode and on the gap between two cathode electrodes, or on cathode electrode, be provided with the strip field emission body layer parallel, the resistance when increasing large-area manufacturing field emission body layer between the cathode electrode with corresponding back grid electrode; Preparation chromatic colour fluorescent material pattern on anode substrate; Form back grid field emission display by cathode base and anode substrate sealing-in.
But full wafer is manufactured with the field emission body layer on insulating medium layer and cathode electrode.Also can on insulating medium layer and cathode electrode, be manufactured with the strip field emission body layer vertical with cathode electrode.

F.), form the vacuum state in the device with cathode base and anode substrate sealing-in exhaust.
The field emission body layer that full wafer is made is adjusted its resistance characteristic by doping method, makes the phenomenon that is not short-circuited under the effect of cathode voltage signal between the adjacent cathode electrode, and the resistance between each cathode electrode is greater than 2M Ω.
Nano semiconductor material emitter layer or the making strip field emission body layer vertical that the field emission body layer is made by the way full wafer of silk screen printing or chemically grown or physical growth with cathode electrode.
The material of field emission body layer is to be made by zinc oxide or aluminum nitride semiconductor nano material.
Beneficial effect: in common back grid field emission display, emissive material must be printed on the cathode electrode exactly.If emissive material slightly surpasses cathode electrode, then may cause the short circuit between the adjacent negative electrode data wire.If the width of emissive material is less than the width of cathode electrode,, driving voltage is increased sharply though can not form short circuit between cathode electrode.When display device resolution was higher, spacing was very little between the cathode electrode, and the patterning of emitter coating prepares that difficulty is big, cost is high.
The present invention is directed to some difficulties that back grid field emission display is made, adopt novel Nano semiconductor filed emission cathode material such as making large tracts of land such as zinc oxide, aluminium nitride to cover emitter layer on the cathode electrode with certain resistance characteristic, overcome short circuit and the when narrow driving voltage too high problem of the cathode emitter that exists when wide, reduced the cost of making simultaneously.Or on cathode electrode, make the strip emitter layer parallel, the resistance during reduction large-area manufacturing emitter layer between the cathode electrode with corresponding gate electrode.The present invention makes the emitter material layer by the resistance characteristic of the method regulation and control Nano semiconductor field emission body material of doping at the cathode electrode surface full wafer, does not need special pattern picture to handle.Or on cathode electrode, make the strip emitter layer parallel, the resistance when reducing full wafer making emitter layer between the cathode electrode with corresponding gate electrode.This incomplete structure the mask preparation technology and the resistive layer manufacture craft of emitter material layer, reduced the manufacturing cost of display device.In structure proposed by the invention, maximally utilise the rim effect of an emission simultaneously, improved the emitting performance of negative electrode.
