Abstract
AbstractEach year the Society awards the Display of the Year Award to several display devices that exhibit leading edge technology or innovative solutions to an information display need. The following paper provides a summary of a Display of the Year award recipient from 1999 and 2000 SID conferences. The display described Carbon‐nanotube(CNT) Field Emission Display(FED) has produced the first commercial product as a lighting element, which is a 1‐pixel 20mm‐diameter cylindrical device intended to replace existing externally similar thermionic (CRT‐type) lighting elements used in outdoor displays and other high‐brightness applications.An excellent performance of carbon‐nanotubes as field‐emitters was demonstrated using a high‐voltage FED elements at SID in 1998 where a light‐source tube for outdoor large size display and diode type flat panel were presented with the screen printed nanotube cathode.After that, an x‐y addressable high‐luminance FED panel was introduced at IDRC in 1999. The experimental panel was performed ca.7×105 cd/m2 green light at 6kV, ca.1mA/cm2 dc‐driving condition.The results show the excellent performance of carbon nanotube FED as flat panel displays which are applicable to large size TV devices. This panel will be not only suitable for future TV display but also light‐sources for field sequential color LCDs.The CNT FED lighting‐element module is exciting not only because it is the first commercial implementation of CNT technology, but because it could pave the way for new generations of FED products.
