We fabricated the 1-inch diode type flat lamp using CNTs, which were grown directly on soda-lime glass substrate at 600 ∼ 650 $^{\circ}C$ by thermal chemical vapor deposition(CVD) of acetylene gas. Turn- on field was about 2.8 V/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. We observed that uniform and high brightness had been obtained. The brightness of CNT flat lamp was measured up to about 14 kcd/$m^2$ at 2000V in spacing of 500 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The results showed that the CNTs were very good emission source and suitable for application in the lamp.

본 논문은 CNT(Carbon Nano Tube) FEL(Field Emission Lamp)에서 애노드(Anode)-캐소드(Cathode) 구동용 고전압 구동 회로 구현에 관한 것이다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 고전압 DC 전원 회로는 턴비가 높은 고전압 트랜스포머의 Leakage 인덕턴스를 이용하는 Series-Resonant 형태의 Full Bridge 컨버터를 적용하고 고전압 트랜스포머와 Voltage Multiplier를 이용한다. 고전압 트랜스의 절연전압을 줄이기 위해서 두개의 트랜스포머와 Voltage Multiplier를 이용하여 애노드 전극에는 Positive 고전압, 캐소드 전극에는 Negative 고전압을 인가한다. 이 경우 애노드와 캐소드 사이의 아크 방전 시에도 구동 IC 및 스위칭 소자를 보호할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

A field emission display has spacers separating the emitting base and display face. The arrangement of the spacer is important for maintenance of required clearance, endurance of bending stresses, and efficient vacuum sealing. Topology optimization technique with material density was introduced to select the best position of the spacers from the available positions. The displacement and Von Mises stress distribution of the panels with optimal spacers were calculated by finite element method. Also the design guide for adding eliminating spacers was proposed.

기계적 자유도(mechanical degrees of freedom)를 가지는 free-standing 박막의 전계 방출 특성을 연구하였다. Free-standing 박막에서의 전계 방출 효과를 보다 정확히 해석하기 위하여 기계적 자유도(mechanical degrees of freedom)를 고려한 Fowler-Nordheim 전계 방출 식을 유도하였다. 새롭게 유도된 Fowler-Nordheim 식은 실험값과 매우 잘 일치한다. 이러한 free-standing 박막에서의 전계 방출 효과를 이용하여 이온화된 생체 분자의 충돌로 인해 발생된 free-standing 박막의 고주파 기계적 진동을 탐지함으로써 단백질 질량 분석기의 디텍터로 활용될 수 있음을 보였다.

Since national mid-term target for GHG reduction was determined in 2009, various efforts in transportations have been prepared. Generally, the GHG emission of transportation is calculated using the emission factor published from IPCC guideline(2006). However, it is necessary to develop new emission factors considering the properties of transportation as well as fuel. In Korean railroad, main emission sources are the consumption of diesel and electricity from railcar operation. The GHG emission of electric-powered railcars can be estimated using national electric emission factor, but diesel-powered railcars show different trends. The purpose of this study was to establish the development plans of emission factors for diesel-powered railcars. As a result, the emission factors of diesel-powered railcars were classified into railcar type, engine type and life cycle, notch, load, and traffic volume. In future, several emission factors with this category will be presented quantitatively through field tests with the order of priority.

We discuss the influence of few-walled carbon nanotubes (FWCNTs) treated with nitric acid and/or sulfuric acid on field emission characteristics. FWCNTs/tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) thin film field emitters were fabricated by a spray method using FWCNTs/TEOS sol one-component solution onto indium tin oxide (ITO) glass. After thermal curing, they were found tightly adhered to the ITO glass, and after an activation process by a taping method, numerous FWCNTs were aligned preferentially in the vertical direction. Pristine FWCNT/TEOS-based field emitters revealed higher current density, lower turn-on field, and a higher field enhancement factor than the oxidized FWCNTs-based field emitters. However, the unstable dispersion of pristine FWCNT in TEOS/N,N-dimethylformamide solution was not applicable to the field emitter fabrication using a spray method. Although the field emitter of nitric acid-treated FWCNT showed slightly lower field emission characteristics, this could be improved by the introduction of metal nanoparticles or resistive layer coating. Thus, we can conclude that our spray method using nitric acid-treated FWCNT could be useful for fabricating a field emitter and offers several advantages compared to previously reported techniques such as chemical vapor deposition and screen printing.

Si FEA로부터 tip의 표면을 Ti 금속으로 silicidation한 새로운 3극형 Ti-silicided Si FEA를 제작하고 이의 전계 방출특성을 조사하였다. 제작된 소자에서 단위 pixel(pixel area : $1000{\mu\textrm{m}}{\times}1000{$\mu\textrm{m}}$, tip array : $200{\mu\textrm{m}}{\times}200{$\mu\textrm{m}}$)을 통해 측정된 전계 방출 특성은 $10^8Torr$의 고진공 상태에서 turn-on 전압이 약 70V로, 아노드 방출전류의 크기와 current degradation이 $V_A=500V,\;V_G=150V$ 바이어스 아래에서 각각 2nA/tip와 0.3%/min로 나타났다. 3극형 Ti-silicided Si FEA의 낮은 turn-on 전압과 높은 전류안정성은 Si tip 표면에 형성된 실리사이드 박막의 열화학적 안정성과 낮은 일함수에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다.

Si FEA로 부터 tip의 표면을 Co 금속으로 silicidation한 새로운 3극형 Co-silicided Si FEA를 제작하고 이의 전계 방출특성을 조사하였다. $10^{-8}Torr$의 고진공상태에서 제작된 소자의 단위 pixel(pixel 면적 : $250{\mu\textrm{m}}{\times}250{\mu\textrm{m}}$, tip 어레이 : $45{\times}45$)를 통해 측정된 turn-on 전압은 약 35V로, 아노드 전류는 $V_A=500V,\;V_G=55V$ 바이어스 아래에서 약 $1.2{\mu\textrm{A}}(0.6nA/tip)$로 나타났다. 제작된 소자는 초기 과도상태를 제외하면 장시간의 동작을 통해 전계방출 전류의 감소없이 매우 안정된 전기적 특성을 나타내었다. Co-silicided Si FFA 의 낮은 turn-on 전압과 높은 전류안전성은 Si tip 표면에 형성된 실리사이드 박막의 열화학적 안전성과 낮은 일함수에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다.

This paper describes experiments aimed at characterizing the behavior of field electron emitters fabricated by coating carbon fibers with epoxylite resin. Polyacrylonitrile carbon fibers of type VPR-19, thermally treated at $2,800^{\circ}C$, were used. Each was initially prepared in a "uncoated" state, by standard electro polishing and cleaning techniques, and was then examined in a scanning electron microscope. The fiber was then baked overnight in a field electron microscope (FEM) vacuum chamber. Current-voltage characteristics and FEM images were recorded on the following day or later. The fiber was then removed from the FEM, coated with resin, "cured" by baking, and replaced in the FEM. After another overnight bake, the FEM characterization measurements were repeated. The coated fibers had significantly better performance than uncoated fibers. This confirms the results of earlier experiments, and is thought to be due in part to the formation of a conducting channel in the resin over layer. For the coated fiber, lower voltages were needed to obtain the same emission current. The coated fibers have current-voltage characteristics that show smoother trends, with greater stability and repeatability. No switch-on phenomena were observed. In addition, the emission images on the phosphor-coated FEM screen were more concentrated, and hence brighter.

The carbon nanotube emitters for field emission displays were fabricated by using screen printing techniques. The pastes for screen printing are composed of organic binders, carbon nanotubes (multiwalled or singlewalled), and some additive materials. The pastes were printed on Cr-coated/Ag-printed soda-lime glass substrates. From the I-V characteristics, the turn-on field of SWNT was lower than that of MWNT. The decrease in the mesh size of screen masks (i.e. increase in the opening size of the screen mesh) resulted in decreasing the turn-on field and increasing the electron emission current. When the carbon nanotubes were mixed with silver pastes, silver powders appeared to contribute to the vertically aligning of carbon nanotubes on a glass.
