Definitions
- the present invention relates to a field emission device; and, more particularly, a field emission device capable of preventing leakage current between electrodes while improving unstable light emitting characteristics.
- a currently utilized filed emission device such as a field emission type backlight, an FEFL(Field Emission Flat Lamp) and a field emission display utilizes an acute cold cathode on behalf of a hot cathode used in a conventional cathode ray tube as a means for discharging an acceleration electron to excite a fluorescent material. That is, the electrons due to a quantum mechanical tunnel effect are discharged by concentrating high electric field on an emitter forming the cold cathode.
- Diode or triode structure exists in a conventional field emission device.
- a method allows the electrons to excite and emit the fluorescent material by extracting the electrons from the field emission material by applying a high voltage between the anode electrode and the cathode electrode.
- the diode structure has advantages that a manufacturing cost is low, a manufacturing process is easy and a light emitting area is large, but there are problems that a driving voltage is high and a luminance to be emitted stably is low and luminous efficiency is low.
- the field emission devices for the triode structure are disclosed in Korea public patent No. 2000-74609, United States of America patent 5,773,834 and Korea public patent Nos. 2001-84384 and 2004-44101.
- a gate electrode as an auxiliary electrode is separately formed from the cathode at a distance from several tens of nano meters to several millimeters. Consequently, the emitted electron excites the fluorescent substance of the anode so as to emit light by applying the high voltage to the anode and the cathode.
- This triode structure has the advantages of significantly lowering driving voltage and securing high luminance but there are problems such as relatively high cost for manufacturing, long manufacturing time, and small light emitting area.
- Fig. 1 represents a lateral gate type field emission device disclosed in Korea publication patent No. 2004-44101.
- the cathode 10 is formed on a surface of a rear substrate 5
- the emitter made of CNT is placed on a top surface of the cathode 10 with a predetermined gap
- the gate electrode 25 is adjacent to the rear substrate 5 by media of an insulation layer 15.
- the lateral gate type field emission device is composed of an anode 35 composed of a fluorescent material layer 30 and ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) by facing the rear substrate 5 and a front substrate 40.
- Fig. 2 is a construction diagram of Korea patent application No. 2004-70871 which is previously filed by the applicant of the present invention.
- the first electrode 105 and the second electrode 110 are placed on a top surface of the rear substrate 100, and also the emitter 115 is placed on a top surface of the first electrode 105 and the second electrode 110.
- This is a structure obtained by particularly removing a difference between the gate electrode and the cathode by forming the emitter 115 on the first electrode 105 and the second electrode 110.
- the first electrode 105 and the second electrode 110 become the gate electrode or the cathode according to the driving voltage.
- the increment of light emitting area and light emitting efficiency, uniform light emission, high luminance, and long lifetime can be achieved.
- FIG. 3 is a plane view of the rear substrate 110 of the field emission device of Fig. 2.
- the first electrode member 105 and the second electrode member 110 are formed in a rake-shape crossing each other.
- the electrons are discharged from the emitter 115 placed on each electrode by alternately applying voltage having different polarities from each other to the first electrode member 105 and the second electrode member 110, respectively.
- higher current density is obtained at the same electric field in comparison with the field emission device of the conventional lateral gate triode structure.
- the present invention has been proposed in order to overcome the above-described problems in the related background art. It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a field emission device capable of preventing a leakage current between electrodes and improving an unstable light emitting characteristic by forming an emitter having more than four individual electrodes.
- a field emission device including a front substrate and a rear substrate disposed by being separated at a predetermined distance from each other, an anode formed on the front substrate, a fluorescence material formed on the anode, a plurality of electrode members placed on the rear substrate by being separated at a predetermined distance from each other and an emitter formed on at least one among the electrode members, wherein the electrode members are composed of at least four electrode members, each electrode is formed alternately, and the emitters of each electrode member are separated from each other.
- the electric field emission device in accordance with the present invention has advantages as follows: At first, it can prevent a leakage current between electrodes, even if a gap between the electrodes is smaller than that of the conventional dual emitter triode structure and a lateral gate method; and Secondly, it can obtain more natural images than applied to an LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) backlight, even if individual electrodes are formed at the same distance as that of the conventional method.

Abstract
La présente invention concerne un dispositif d’émission de champ et, plus précisément, un dispositif d’émission de champ permettant d’éviter un courant de fuite entre des électrodes tout en améliorant les caractéristiques d’émission lumineuse instable. Le dispositif d’émission de champ de la présente invention comprend : un substrat avant et un substrat arrière disposés avec une distance de séparation prédéterminée, une anode formée sur le substrat avant, un matériau fluorescent formé sur l’anode, une pluralité d’éléments d’électrode placés sur le substrat arrière avec une distance de séparation prédéterminée, et un émetteur formé sur au moins l’un des éléments d’électrode, lesdits éléments étant composés d’au moins quatre électrodes, chaque électrode étant formée de manière alternée et les émetteurs de chaque élément étant séparés les uns des autres. Grâce à la formation d’un émetteur doté d’au moins quatre électrodes indépendantes, le dispositif d’émission de champ électrique selon la présente invention offre les avantages suivants : en premier, il permet d’éviter un courant de fuite entre des électrodes, même si un espace entre celles-ci est inférieur à celui d’une structure de triode d’émetteur double classique et d’un procédé de grille latérale ; et, en second, il permet d’obtenir des images plus naturelles qu’en cas de rétro-éclairage d’affichage à cristaux liquides (LCD), même si différentes électrodes sont formées à la même distance que dans un procédé classique.
