Abstract:

Objectives 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. c To develop focused electron beam and focused ion beam FIB techniques for repairing flat panel display panels, especially those utilizing active matrix technology involving relatively small line widths.
