ABSTRACT:
A field emission display device (1) includes a cathode plate (20), a resistive buffer (30) in contact with the cathode plate, a plurality of electron emitters (40) formed on the buffer, and an anode plate (50) spaced from the electron emitters. Each electron emitter includes a rod-shaped first part (401) and a conical second part (402). The buffer and first parts are made from silicon nitride. The combined buffer and first parts has a gradient distribution of electrical resistivity such that highest electrical resistivity is nearest the cathode plate and lowest electrical resistivity is nearest the anode plate. The second parts are made from niobium. When emitting voltage is applied between the cathode and anode plates, electrons emitted from the electron emitters traverse an interspace region and are received by the anode plate. Because of the gradient distribution of electrical resistivity, only a very low emitting voltage is needed.
