ABSTRACT:
A flat panel display includes a cathode (302/303/304, 501, or 601a/601b), a conductive gate layer (306, 502, or 602a/602b) overlying the cathode, and a thicker patterned conductive further layer (307, 503, or 603) contacting the gate layer above the cathode. The cathode contains emitters exposed through a multiplicity of laterally separated sets of openings in the gate layer. Each set of gate openings is exposed through a corresponding one of a plurality of holes in the further layer. An anode overlies the gate and further layers.
