Electron Field Emission.

Abstract

In a system containing an electron field emitter array characterized by applying diamond powder to a substrate and affixing the powder thereto, the diamond powder being composed of particles having sharp tips which are adapted to emit electrons in a vacuum and in an electric field, which electrons impact a phosphor layer disposed on an anode spaced above the tips of the diamond powder particles.
