Development of key technologies for carbon nanotube FEDs in Japanese national project

The paper gives an overview of results achieved by a three-year project of the Japanese government on carbon nanotube field emission display (CNT-FED). The issues of the project are the development of uniform electron source and the development of glass panel technologies. Electron source development methods include, high-temperature CVD method, low-temperature CVD method, and printing method and activation technologies. In the case of glass panel technologies, main subjects include the development of basic panel structure and heat-resistant lead-free sealing material.
