ABSTRACT:
An application specific field emission display includes one or more extended emitters. The emitters are patterned according to a selected image where the selected image depends upon the application. In one embodiment, an emitter is patterned in a serpentine pattern to provide a single block of illumination. In another application, emitters are grouped in threes and the emitters are driven respectively by the red, green, and blue components of an image signal to produce a multicolor display. In a display assembly according to the invention, application specific emitters are incorporated in subdisplays on a common substrate with a conventional matrix addressable array. The array provides video, graphical or textual information and the subdisplays provide textual, fixed-shaped graphical, numerical or colorized information.
