INSTRUCTIONS: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a field emitter, and more particularly to a cathode plate structure formed by coplanar molding. [Prior Art] In recent years, Flat Panel Display has more light and thin features, even better resolution and brightness in enamel than traditional TV, and is widely used in different sizes of display needs. From the small screen to the mobile phone screen, as far as the outdoor advertising billboards, you can see the application of flat panel display, making the flat panel display in the market. Therefore, various types of flat panel displays are constantly being introduced in the market, including liquid crystal displays (LCDs), plasma display units (PDPs), organic light emitting diode displays (0LEDs), and field emission type displays (FEDs); Emission-type display (FED) is one of the emerging types of flat-panel displays in recent years. Its principle is to generate an electron beam by using a cathode electron emission source provided by an internal structure to strike a corresponding phosphor layer to generate bright light. A field emission display of a conventional three-pole structure includes an anode plate and a cathode plate and a gate layer between the anode and cathode plates, wherein the gate layer provides a potential to induce the cathode plate to generate electrons, and then A high potential is provided by the anode conductive layer to provide accelerated kinetic energy of the electrons to strike the anode plate to produce bright light. However, the conventional structure can provide the normal illumination function of the field emission type display, but the design of the gate layer is directly disposed between the cathode plate 5 200845082 and the anode plate, and is adjacent to the cathode plate. The cathode plate on the emitter is complicated and costly in production; therefore, in order to reduce the cost and improve the fabrication of the aforementioned structure, the emitter and the cathode structure secreted on the coplanar surface, such as the job No. 891320, changing the conventional cathode junction j formed by the lamination method, is not only simple in the process, but also reduces the manufacturing cost. α, and the above-mentioned coplanar structure designing the emitter and the interpole on the board has the advantages of reducing cost and reducing the process, but affecting the electric field of the electron generated by the bismuth emitter in the second plane; The vector directly affects the amount and direction of the electrons emitted by the field. Under the condition of the potential of the meter, the interval between the emitter and the gate is larger. The intensity of the J field is relatively small, causing the electrons of the emitter to be effective. Affects the illuminating effect of the field emitter. Although the emitter and Guan Qing money _ can benefit the conductor process reduction, m below, but will increase its production cost, and in the same potential of the month, due to the emitter and gate spacing is too small, in the two electric field interaction Capture: The part of the free electrons released by the emitter can not be accelerated by the gate; the film process can be lowered (4) m / machine phenomenon 'right use thick (four) a drop & The accuracy of the panel must be maintained at J = flatness of the gate structure or deformation of the material after sintering: 2 gates = = and in order to compensate for the emitter and decay caused by such a process, the potential of the anode plate must be increased. The larger electric field strength of the anode and cathode plates is obtained; therefore, no matter which one is chosen! y 6 200845082 Cheng, there will be a lack of use in the coplanar structure of the cathode plate, it is necessary to find a new solution to solve. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies, the main object of the present invention is to provide a planar emission cathode structure of a field emission display in which a dielectric layer is changed by a dielectric layer, and to provide mutually corresponding and separate emitter layers in a coplanar plane. A dielectric layer is disposed in the interval formed by the gate layer to change the electric field distribution state of the emitter layer and the gate layer, and is also directly formed on the cathode substrate due to the coplanar structure to reduce the process cost. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention mainly provides a planar emission cathode structure of a field emission display, the cathode plate having a cathode substrate on which a plurality of cathode units are disposed, the cathode unit including an emitter a layer, a gate layer and a dielectric layer, wherein the emitter layer and the gate layer are coplanarly disposed on the cathode substrate, and are separated from each other to form a space, and the dielectric layer is disposed on the emitter The layer and the gate layer are formed in a space [and respectively form a gap with the emitter layer and the gate layer without abutting to form a coplanar structure of the cathode plate. [Embodiment] The contents of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings: Please refer to the first drawing, which is a cross-sectional view of the structure of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the cathode plate 1 has a cathode substrate 11' on which a plurality of cathode units 12 are disposed to collectively correspond to an anode. Each cathode unit 12 includes an emitter layer 121 and a gate. The layer 122, the dielectric layer 123 and the cathode conductive layer 124, wherein the emitter layer 121 and the gate layer 122 are disposed on the cathode substrate 11 in a manner of a coplanar plane 7 200845082, and the emitter layer 121 and the gate layer The cathode conductive layer 124 is electrically connected to the cathode conductive layer 124 as a conductive path, and the emitter layer 121 and the gate layer 122 are separated from each other on the cathode substrate 11 to form a space 125. In this embodiment, the emitter layer is formed. The gap between the 121 and the gate layer 122 is maintained at 50/m. Further, the thickness of the emitter layer 121 and the gate layer 122 on the cathode substrate 11 is between 1 // m and 25 β m. The dielectric layer 123 is disposed in the space 125 formed between the emitter layer 121 and the gate layer 122, and is disposed on the cathode substrate 11 in a coplanar manner with the emitter layer 121 and the gate layer 122. At the same time, the dielectric layer 123 and the adjacent emitter layer 121 and the gate layer 122 respectively maintain a certain gap, and dielectric 123 is not connected to the emitter layer 121 or the gate layer 122, wherein the gap is maintained at 5 to 15/zm, and the dielectric layer 123 is composed of a material containing a glass component in the embodiment. For example, the glass paste, and the material is an insulating material having a dielectric constant of 7 or more, and the thickness of the dielectric layer 123 is 0.5 to 1.5 times the thickness of the emitter layer 121, as in the embodiment. The thickness of the dielectric layer 123 is greater than the thickness of the emitter layer 121 and the gate layer 122, or as shown in the second diagram, the thickness of the dielectric layer 123 is smaller than the emitter layer. 121 and the thickness of the gate layer 122. Please refer to the third figures (A) to (B) for comparing the electric field distribution of the present invention. Comparing the graphs (A) and (B), the electric field distribution is in the presence or absence of the dielectric layer 123. In the graph (A), the electric field distribution is concentrated on the emitter layer 121 and the gate layer 122. In the interval 125, the electrons generated by the emitter layer 121 cannot be completely directed to the corresponding anode 8 200845082, which causes leakage current; in the figure (B), the emitter layer 121 and the gate can be seen. The dielectric layer 123 is disposed in the interval 125 formed by the pole layer 122. The density of the spacer 125 is lowered, so that the electrons of the emitter layer 121 are attracted by the anode and then hit the anode. Therefore, the dielectric layer 123 is disposed between the emitter layer 121 and the gate layer 122 via the dielectric layer 123. In addition to simplifying the process of the cathode plate 1, the dielectric layer 123 can serve as the emitter layer 121 and the gate. The barrier between the layers 122 changes the electric field distribution density between the emitter layer 121 and the gate layer 122 to block the movement of the electrons from the emitter layer 121 toward the gate layer 122, thereby reducing the leakage current on the cathode plate 1; , with reference to the third figure (C) ~ (D), set the different dielectric constants The dielectric layer 123, as shown in the third diagram (D) of the embodiment, has a dielectric constant greater than the dielectric constant of the dielectric layer 123 in the third diagram (C), resulting in a diagram (D). The electric field distribution density of the adjacent adjacent emitter 121 is greater than the electric field distribution density of the adjacent emitter 121 in Fig. (C). Therefore, in conjunction with the third (B) to (D) and fourth figures, the electric field distribution density of the emitter layer 121 and the gate layer 122 is changed under the influence of the dielectric layer 123 of different dielectric constants, as shown in the fourth figure. As shown, when the same voltage is applied to the gate layer 122, the current discharged by the emitter layer 121 is greater under the influence of the dielectric layer 123 having a larger dielectric constant. However, the embodiments described above are preferred embodiments, and the scope of the invention is not limited thereto, and equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the scope of the invention and the contents of the specification should be The scope of patent coverage. 9 200845082 [Simple description of the drawings] The first figure is a cross-sectional view of the structure of the present invention.
