This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of a combination 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid (THB) and oregano extracts (i.e., Carvacrol and Thymol) at intake/dietary different levels on growth performance, intestinal health indicators, immune responses and fecal oocyst shedding in broiler chickens under Eimeria challenged condition. A total of 336 one-day-old broilers were randomly assigned to one of six dietary treatments with seven replications per treatment. Dietary treatments were: i) Non-challenged bird without any dietary treatment (NCNT), ii) Challenged bird without any dietary treatment (CNT), iii) Challenged birds fed a THB diet (0.1 g/kg, THB), iv) Challenged birds fed a combination of THB and oregano extracts diet (0.1 g/kg, COM 100), and a gradual increase of combination of THB and oregano extracts likely v) 0.15 g/kg (COM 150), and 0.2 g/kg (COM 200). On day 14, all groups except for NCNT have orally challenged with a 10-fold dose of Livacox^® T anticoccidial vaccine to trigger coccidiosis. The results indicated that Eimeria-challenged broilers fed COM 100 and COM 200 diets increased (p < 0.05) body weight than CNT diet on day 35. Furthermore, birds fed COM 100 and COM 200 diets increased (p < 0.05) average daily gain compared to those fed CNT diets for the entire experimental period. There is no significant (p > 0.05) in average daily feed intake, feed efficiency between NCNT and birds fed with combined THB and oregano extracts for the entire experimental period. A combination of THB and oregano extract regardless of concentration levels or THB alone reduced (p < 0.05) lesion score in ileum compared to the CNT diet for 7 days post-infection (dpi). Birds fed COM 100 diet had lower (p < 0.05) intestinal lesion scores in jejunum and caeca on 7 dpi compared to those were in the CNT diet. No (p > 0.05) difference was observed in the oocysts per gram of feces count, intestinal morphology, carcass traits and blood cytokine concentration among the infected treatments. Collectively, we conclude that birds fed with a combination of THB and oregano extracts regardless of the ratios that were used demonstrated better recovery of health after the coccidial challenge than using only THB alone.

For the CNT-FED to be cost-effective, many efforts for the lower voltage operation have been made in the under-gate cathode structure. In this study, the effects of the frit proportion in the CNT paste, cathode electrode width, CNT-to-counter electrode gap, and the CNT length in the cathode structure were examined.

광산업 및 디스플레이 산업의 발전에 따라 관련 제품의 핵심 부품 및 소재 개발이 매우 중요하게 대두되고 있다. 전계방출 소자 및 back light가 되는 나노 발광체의 핵심소재중 하나인 CNT paste는 국내외에서 연구가 진행중이다. 본 연구에서는 메탄올속에서 초음파를 이용하여 분산시킨 CNT 분말, 유기 바인더, 용매, glass frit, Ag powder 등을 사용하여 paste를 만들고, TGA(Thermogravimetric Analyzer)와 SEM(Scanning Electron Microscopy) 분석에 의해 제조 공정의 최적화를 실시하였다.

A carbon nanotube field emission display(CNT FED) panel with a 2 inch diagonal size was fabricated using a screen printing of a prepared photo-sensitive CNT paste and vacuum in-line sealing technology. After a surface treatment of the patterned CNT, only the carbon nanotube tips are uniformly exposed on the surface. The diameter of the exposed CNTs are usually about 20 nm. Using the photo-sensitive CNT paste, we have developed a triode type CNT FEA with a self-aligned gate-emitter structure. The turn on voltage was around 100 V which corresponds to according the turn on field of about $40V/{\mu}m$. By the creation of a self-aligned gate-emitter structure, it is expected that the screen printed photo-sensitive CNT paste is promising as a good candidate for the large size field emission display.

We studied the growth characteristics of carbon nanotubes which was grown from uniformly dispersed iron nanoparticles prepared from iron-acetate [Fe(II)$(CH_3COO)_2$]. The density of CNT was controlled from precursor concentrations. We also investigated the field emission properties of CNTs. We found that the optimization of CNT density is an important factor for field_emission properties.

Photosensitive carbon nanotube (CNT) pastes are explored to develop a CNT field emitter for field emission display (FED) application. We formulated a photosensitive paste including multi-walled CNTs (MWNTs) for screen printing. The photosensitive CNT paste was synthesized by mixing of MWNTs, inorganic fillers (nano metal), organic vehicle, monomers and photo initiator. The CNT paste films were patterned by using backside exposure technique. The CNTs were strongly fixed on a cathode by formation of carbon residue during firing process. For the CNT emitters, current-voltage(I-V) characteristics and images of field emission were evaluated. The emission properties of CNT emitters are dependent on the paste composition. A turn-on electric field for the CNT field emitters is measured to be 1 V/$\mu$m. Additionally, the effect of heat treatment parameter on field emission properties was discussed. The newly formulated photosensitive CNT paste can be potentially applicable to highly reliable CNT field emitters.

탄소나노튜브(CNT, carbon nanotube)를 에미터 재료로 사용하여 전계방출 디스플레이 (FED, field emission display)용 캐소드(cathode)를 제작할 때 CNT paste를 구성하는 유기성 바인더를 제거하기 위한 열처리 공정은 필수적이며, 이후에 CNT의 돌출을 위한 표면처리 공정이 뒤따르게 된다. 이러한 표면처리에는 여러 가지 방법들이 있으며 캐소드 제작시 매우 중요한 부분이다. 그 이유는 열처리 과정을 거치게 되면 이물질들이 CNT를 감싸게 되는데 이는 전계방출을 방해하는 요소가 되기 때문에 이를 효과적으로 제거해주지 않으면 전계방출의 효율성이 떨어지기 때문이다. 본 연구는 스크린 인쇄법으로 제작한 CNT 캐소드의 표면처리에 관한 것으로 Tpae 방법을 이용하여 1차적으로 표면처리를 수행한 후 2차적으로 재열처리법을 이용하여 열처리 후 CNT를 감싸고 있는 이물질(ash, residue)등을 효과적으로 제거하였는지 전계방출 특성을 통하여 알아보았다.

We have fabricated a carbon nanotube field emission display(CNT FED) panel with a 2 inch diagonal size by using screen printing method and vacuum in-line sealing technology. The sealing temperature of the panel was around 390 $^{\circ}C$ and the leak test was carried out for 72 hrs after sealing process. When field emission properties of fabricated and sealed CNT FED panel were characterized and compared with those of unsealed panel which was located in vacuum chamber of vacuum level similar with the sealed panel, the sealed panel showed more improved field emission properties.

We have fabricated a carbon nanotube field emission display (CNT-FED) panel with a 2-inch diagonal size by using a screen printing method and vacuum in-line sealing technology. The sealing temperature of the panel was around 390$^{\circ}C$ and the vacuum level was obtained with 1.4x$10^{-5}$torr at the sealing. When the field emission properties of a fabricated and sealed CNT-FED panel were characterized and compared with those of the unsealed panel which was located in a test chamber of vacuum level similar with the sealed panel. As a result, the sealed panel showed similar I-V characteristics with unsealed one and uniform light emission with very high brightness at a current density of 243 ${\mu}A/cm^2$, obtained at the electric field of 10 V/${\mu}m$.

The Japanese National Project "Carbon Nanotube FED" is developing a high image-quality and low power-consumption field emission display (FED) by applying carbon nanotube (CNT) to the electron source. A uniform electron source with a flat-film CNTs and fine structure triodes Fir suppressing the deviation of emission is required. For realizing an FED panel, it is also necessary to develop the glass-bulb technologies for vacuum sealing, and display technologies for driving the panel by circuit electronic and for evaluating the picture quality by measuring. By achieving these technologies, an FED compatible with conventional Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) will be realized.
