The effect of surface treatment on CNT cathodes used in field emission displays was investigated. A liquid method using a polymer-based organic solution and a mechanical method were applied. The liquid method, using PVA(polyvinyl alcohol) showed high potential compared to the mechanical adhesive taping and rolling method used in the fabrication of CNT cathodes for large-sized field emission displays with high emission uniformity and a low cost.

Details are given of an study of the characteristics of field-induced electron emission from hydrogen-free high $sp^3$ content(>90%) amorphous diamond (a-D) film deposited on heavily doped ($\rho$<0.01 $\Omega\cdot\textrm{cm}$) n-type monocrystalline Si(111) substrate. It is demonstrated that a-D film has excellent electron field emission properties. Emission current can reach 0.9 $\mu$A at applied field as low as 1 V/$\mu\textrm{m}$, and emission current density can be obtained about several mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$. The emission current is stable when the beginning current is at 50 $\mu$A within 72 hours. Uniform fluorescence display of electron emission from whole face of the a-D film under the electric field of 10~20 V/$\mu\textrm{m}$ was also observed. It can be considered that the contribution of excellent electron emission property results from its smooth, uniform, amorphous surface and high $sp^3$ content of the a-D films.

Field emission from single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) aligned on a patterned gold surface is reported. The SWNTs emitters were prepared at room temperature by a self-assembly monolayer technique. SWNTs were cut into sub-micron length by sonication in an acidic solution. Cut SWNTs were attached on the gold surface by the reaction between the thiol groups and the gold surface. The field emission measurement showed that the turn-on field was 4.8 $V/{\mu}m$ at the emission current density of 10 ${\mu}A/cm^2$. The current density was 0.5 $mA/cm^2$ at 6.6 $V/{\mu}m$. This approach provides a novel route for fabricating CNT-based field emission displays.

An effective wet-chemical approach is demonstrated for growing large-area, selectively-patterned, and low-temperature-synthesized ZnO nanorods (ZNRs). The growth of ZNRs was enhanced on a Co layer. The selectivity and density were readily controlled by the control of the temperature when the substrate transfers into aqueous solution. The cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy image shows that single crystalline ZNRs grown along [0001] have good adhesion at interface between ZNRs/substrate. The turn-on field was 4 $V/{\mu}m$ at the emission current density of 1 ${\mu}A/cm^2$. The stable emission was obtained at 0.11 $mA/cm^2$ under 7.2 $V/{\mu}m$ over 10 hr. These results suggest that selectively-patterned ZNRs have the potential for use as field emitters in large-area field emission displays.

촉매 화학기상증착법을 이용하여 합성된 이중층 탄소나노튜브를 가지고 전계전자 방출원을 제작하여 이들의 신뢰성 있는 전계전자 방출특성을 조사하였다. 합성된 탄소 필라멘트들은 TEM, TGA, 그리고 Raman 분석을 통하여 결함이 없고 순도가 높은 이중층 탄소나노튜브가 합성이 되었음을 확인하였다. 이들 이중층 탄소나노튜브 전계전자 방출원은 이전극 구조에서 낮은 턴-온 전계와 높은 전류밀도의 전계전자 방출 특성을 보여주었고, 균질한 전계방출 패턴과 좋은 전계방출 안정성을 나타내었다.

The field emission and luminescent properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) that were straightened by argon ion irradiation were investigated. Argon ion irradiation permanently straightened both as-grown and screen-printed CNTs (SP-CNTs) in the presence of a strong electric field. The straightening process enhanced the emission properties of as-grown CNT films by showing a decrease in turn-on field, an increase in total emission current, and a stable emission. Recurring problems associated with SP-CNTs, such as bent or/and buried CNTs and the degradation in binder-residue-induced emission, were improved by the permanent straightening of CNTs and protruding CNTs from binders by the irradiation treatment, in addition to its surface cleaning effect. Furthermore, we confirmed that the number of emission sites increases by observing the luminescent properties of CNT films after the straightening. These findings here suggest that ion irradiation treatment is an effective method for achieving uniform field emission and to reduce the electrical aging time.

Carbon nanotube emitters, prepared by screen printing, have demonstrated a great potential towards low-cost, largearea field emission displays. Carbon nanotube paste, essential to the screen printing technology, was formulated to exhibit low threshold electric fields as well as an emission uniformity over a large area. Two different types of triode structures, normal gate and undergate, have been investigated, leading us to the optimal structure designing. These carbon nanotube FEDs demonstrated color separation and high brightness over 300 $cd/m^2$ at a video-speed operation of moving images. Our recent developments are discussed in details.
