ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a process for preparing phosphor pattern for a field emission display panel, a photosensitive element for a field emission display panel, a phosphor pattern for a field emission display panel and a field emission display panel.
In the prior art, as one of flat plate display panels, there has been known a field emission display panel (hereinafter referred to as “FED”) which enables multi-color display panel by providing a phosphor which emits light by colliding thereto electrons emitted from metal surface or a semiconductor surface while applying an electric field.
In recent years, accompanying with the progress of a semiconductor fine patterning technique, a number of fine field electron-emitting emitters can be formed on a Si wafer or a glass substrate with good reproducibility.
According to this progress, field emission can be realized by applying a voltage with several ten volts without applying a high voltage.
FED is a display element in which a cathode substrate to which emitters are formed and an anode substrate to which a fluorescent surface is formed are opposed to each other in a vacuum sealed apparatus and which emits light by electron beam excitation.
FED can be called as a flat CRT having a number of plane electron guns on a flat plane, and in view of many advantages of a thickness of about 2 mm, spontaneous light displaying quality as that of CRT, a wide view filed angle of about 170°, a quick response rate of &mgr;sec order, environmental resistance as that of a vacuum tube and a low consumed power not more than TFT-LCD, it has been expected to use as a wide screen display panel.
In the prior art, as a method for forming the phosphor, a method of coating a slurry liquid or a paste in which phosphors of the respective colors are dispersed is coated by a printing method such as screen printing has been proposed and disclosed in Japanese Provisional Patent Publications No. 115027/1989, No. 124929/1989, No. 124930/1989 and No. 155142/1990. It has also been known that an adhesive property of a specific portion is changed and a portion to which a phosphor is to be adhered is selected whereby three colors of R, G and B are separately formed.
However, the above-mentioned phosphor-dispersed slurry liquid is a liquid state so that dispersion failure is likely caused by sedimentation of phosphors, etc. Also, when a liquid state photosensitive resist is used as the slurry liquid, there is a defect of markedly lowering in preservation stability with the progress of dark reaction. Moreover, to cope with enlargement of a screen and making a fine pattern, these methods involve problems that they cannot realize uniformity in the screen in view of dimensional accuracy and mechanical precision.
