ABSTRACT:
Thin-film edge emission devices and methods for forming are provided. The emitters are formed to have extended edges. They are formed by oblique deposition on a surface of material which extends from a substrate. The material is substantially removed to leave the thin-film emitter. A gate may then be formed around the emitter. Arrays of such thin-film emitters may be used in a variety of electronic devices.
