Description of the invention () The micro-tip cannot be distinguished, so when the -di. Micro-tip emission is greater than the flow value, it can not be limited to its deng sealing ^ This vorticity emission situation can be determined by a certain A microtip whose curvature is too small, or caused by localized gas, is especially likely to occur when the cold cathode system is first started. Since the recent technology in this technology has been towards the practice of individually stabilizing the resistor, it is best to add a separate resistor to each microtip. Figure 1 illustrates the approach proposed by Borel et al. (U.S. Patent No. 4,940,916), illustrated with a cross-sectional view of one pixel. As discussed above, the current to the microtip 2 is supplied via the cathode line 1 and the gate line 4. A high resistance layer 3 has been inserted between the bottom of the microtip and the cathode line as the required stable resistance . This invention allows each microtip to have its own stable resistance, but there are still many limitations. The resistance layer 3 needs to be a stable resistance, and its p-resistance needs to be in the order of 5 × 1 cm, which greatly limits the available materials. In addition, the current continuously conducted across a thin film is de-energized than the current conducted along a thin film. Therefore, it is more unreliable in the future, because the former is more likely to focus on the development of individual stable stems due to the invention of local pollution; 1P and flat and its history 15.

Figure 2 illustrates a set of three pixels in a cross-sectional view. The cathode line 203 has been deposited on the silicon substrate 201, and is connected to the microtip 204 via the diffusion resistor 2 (12). After adding the gate 206 and the electronic fluorescent anode 207, the basic design is completed. This approach can be ^ [合; p flow resistance is not required to conduct across the resistance layer, but requires additional steps to make the entire system more expensive. In addition, the diffusion resistance also needs to occupy a certain amount of space. Figure 3 illustrates Mever's practice in the United States. This Find two Φ planes. Among them, a part of the cathode is no longer a continuous Mrii layer, but a mesh layer formed by crossing lines 15 and 16. The resistance layer 17 is sandwiched between the mesh layer and the substrate ( Not shown). The micro-pointed paper scale has been formed on the resistance layer.

Description of the invention (End, located in the gap of the mesh layer. A gate line intersects the cathode line / mesh, and the current flowing from the mesh layer must first flow along the resistance layer 7 before reaching the microtip. An important aspect of this approach is Missing is that the network layer limit The resolution of the display is made J. The following shows that after this case, the second case knows that there is indeed an easier way to make the desired design without sacrificing resolution. Another lack of it is that S due to this design The special shape of the different microtips varies greatly in resistance resistance. Brief description of the invention An object of the present invention is to propose a cold cathode field emission display which emits individual stable resistances of the microtips every two field emission points. -One purpose is that the individual stability of Leiyang will not lower the charm of the display. Another aspect of the present invention is to make such individual stability both strong and IT dependable. Another aspect of the invention The purpose is to mention a method of manufacturing a display. The above goals can be achieved at the lowest cost. To achieve these goals, a -i resistance layer can be interposed between the _line 1 substrates, 1 where the cathode-gate lines cross (i.e. The position of the tip) has a two-specific shape, so that the current flowing from the wind pole line to the microtip must flow through the resistance layer for a distance to reach the microtip.

Make $ 面 附 沂Keep the opening of the electrode relatively small, so as not to lose the ability to accelerate electrons through the gate toward the fluorescent anode (not shown). The opening near the resistance layer 21 is quite large, and the current flowing from the cathode wire 22 to the microtip 25 is It is forced to flow along the resistance layer 21. Therefore, this design can achieve the purpose of making each microtip have its own stable resistance, shown > w. 'Printed by the Employee Consumer Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs The cold shade of the present invention The manufacturing process of the display. In the cross-sectional view of FIG. 5, there are three cathode lines on the insulating substrate 20. The directions of the main lengths of the three cathode lines are all perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. Only the middle one is completely drawn, both sides The remaining two lines are cut off at the edge of the figure. The cathode lines are separated by a space 26 to electrically isolate them from each other. Figure 6 illustrates the next step in the process. The structure in FIG. 5 has been coated with the dielectric layer 23, and then the gate line 24 is formed. It should be noted that the material of the gate wire should be different from the material of the cathode wire. For example, the gate electrode can be made of molybdenum, and this paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 mm) A7 B7 V. Description of invention () The cathode wire is made of aluminum. The gate line and the dielectric layer 23 have been etched to form an opening 32. The etching can be immersed in buffered hydrofluoric acid for 2 to 10 minutes. The formed opening extends to the plane of the cathode line 22. The next key step is to make Leaving Pi is the same as the previous yao>, continue the process of forming openings. In the present example, the second option is that the gate line layer 24 or the dielectric layer 23 of the heavy barrier layer is invaded, but the hydrochloric acid of the cathode line layer 22 is eroded. This selective etching step causes the opening to continue to increase at the plane where the cathode line is located. This step is "over etching", which can change the cross-sectional appearance of the opening of the surname. Using the process described above to shape the opening, a layer of ring-shaped resistance can be obtained, which is sandwiched by the gate and printed by the Employee Consumer Cooperative of the Central Standard Falcon Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs.

Both mid-launch transmitters are connected to the thunder pressure through the Yin olive. There is another set of g-line _ ( It is called Mingaiai and is connected to a positive voltage source and is located very close to the cathode lead. It is at two angles to the cathode lead and is at 90 °.) The bit ring where the device or sign tip is located is large enough. , Making a micro-tip cold cathode Before firing, the relevant cathode wire and gate wire must be activated. The electrons emitted by the cold cathode pass through the opening in the gate wire, and then hit the fluorescent panel that is not far away from the gate electrode wire.

Generally speaking, even if the local voltage near the tail of the microtip exceeds 1G6 volts / cm, the applied voltage is only 10G volts, but even this order of magnitude Once the "low voltage" is short-circuited, it is obviously enough to achieve a very serious result. # 11 ^ · The conventional knowledge uses the resistance added by & put it in the gli or source 丨 § device (power str ^ y) Between, as a stabilization (ballast), there is a short circuit somewhere in the body of the insect pest, _______— 一 ~ ............ ^ Limit tn snow flow.
