Low Temperature Materials Growth and Processing Development for Flat Panel Display Technology Applications.

Abstract

The main objectives of this study are (a) To understand the relative advantages and properties of diamond and graphite nanotubes as emission sources for FED displays. (b) To develop methods of growing uniform deposits of graphite (fullerene) nanotubes of nanometer scale diameters. It is believed that these field emitters will have the following properties: (1) Low turn-on voltages; (2) Insensitivity to the vacuum ambient; (3) Inexpensive methods of preparation 4. A compatibility with other industrial efforts - e.g. that of S.I. Diamond Corp.
