ABSTRACT:
A method for forming a planar aluminum layer in a flat panel display structure. In one embodiment, the present invention creates a flat panel display structure having a raised black matrix defining wells within the matrix. The present embodiment then deposits a non-conformal layer of acrylic-containing aluminizing lacquer over a layer of phosphors residing within the wells of the black matrix. In so doing, the lacquer layer forms a substantially planar surface on top of the phosphors. The present invention then deposits a layer of catalyst material over the layer of lacquer so that the aluminizing lacquer can be burned off completely and cleanly at a relatively low temperature. The catalytic layer conforms to the planar surface of the lacquer layer. The present invention then deposits an aluminum layer over the catalytic layer. The aluminum layer, in turn, conforms to the planar surface of the catalytic layer. Finally, the present invention bakes off the non-conformal lacquer layer. The baking process is conducted at a temperature such that the lacquer layer is cleanly and completely oxidized. This temperature is relatively low so as not to adversely affect the reflectivity of the aluminum layer, damage the black matrix material, or induce oxidation of phosphors. After the baking process, the present invention achieves a substantially planar and mirror-like aluminum surface.
