Abstract

By means of introducing a carbon atmosphere, the electron emission characteristics of a surface-conduction electron-emitter display (SED) were studied experimentally. After comparing the experimental data of a SED obtained under a vacuum environment with the data obtained under a carbon atmosphere, the electron emission characteristic curves were drawn from which it had been found that a carbon atmosphere had significantly improved the electron emission characteristics of a SED. As a result, the current values of both the device current and the emission current had obviously been improved as well as the efficiency of surface-conduction electron-emission had increased significantly. The possible reasons responsible for the results were analyzed and put forward as follow: more carbon which could possibly form the electron emission region of a SED were produced from the carbon atmosphere during the electrical activation process. However, the forming of the electron emission region of a SED was a major influential factor in the success of the surface-conduction electron-emitter display.
