Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electronic material preparation, particularly relates to a preparation method of a flexible transparent field emission cold cathode, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a flexible transparent field emission spindt cathode.
Background
The principle of field emission is that the height and width of the surface potential barrier of a material are reduced by an external electric field, and electrons pass through the surface potential barrier due to the tunnel effect to form electron emission. The field emission cold cathode can be divided into: a metal pointed cone array type represented by spindt type cathodes, a new material type represented by carbon nanotubes, transition metal oxides and the like, and the structure mainly comprises: emitter tip cone, insulating layer, conductive layer, and gate. Nowadays, the field emission cold cathode has been widely used in various fields, such as field emission display screen, which combines the advantages of cathode ray tube and liquid crystal display, and has the characteristics of clear image quality, low power consumption, long service life, fast response, etc., and in addition, it is also used in the fields of transistor, vacuum microwave tube, X-ray tube, electron microscope, etc.
With the development of flexible electronic devices, flexible cold cathode materials are also receiving attention. Compared with the traditional field emission cold cathode, the flexible cold cathode material has good emission performance and is beneficial to realizing the requirements of miniaturized design, convenient carrying and low manufacturing cost of electronic devices. Therefore, the preparation of the flexible field emission cold cathode material is of great significance for being applied to the fields of rollable displays and the like in the future.
The cold cathode, as a core component of a flexible field emission device, is one of the hot spots of current field emission research. However, the preparation method of spindt type cold cathode still has a great limitation, the traditional preparation process mostly adopts a photoetching method to prepare the array cathode, so that the integration level of the spindt type cathode array is low, the electron emission capability and the emission current density are difficult to greatly improve, if the integration level is improved, the requirement on the precision of photoetching equipment is higher, so that the cost is greatly improved, and in addition, some novel preparation methods, such as a thermal oxidation method, a chemical vapor deposition technology, an ultraviolet photoetching technology and the like, also have the defects of unstable emission performance and the like.
Therefore, the present invention uses a method of preparing a spindt type cold cathode by vacuum physical deposition technique. On the mica sheet plated with the conductive gold film, an AAO template with proper height and aperture is selected, and a good spindt tip cone is formed by controlling the metal deposition rate and utilizing the shielding effect and is applied to a cold cathode.
