Technical Field

[2]

The invention relates to an electronic-ray device and its application is a display device, Image forming apparatus, in particular to a modification in the support member of the inside of the shell in the vicinity of the (baffle) electron beam deflection method.

[3]

Background Art

[4]

Now, known as an electron-emitting element with a thermionic source and the cold-cathode electron source two types. The cold cathode electron source comprises: field emission element (hereinafter referred to as FE-type element), a metal/insulating layer/metal type element (hereinafter referred to as MIM element), surface conduction type electron emission element (hereinafter referred to as the SCE-type element), and the like.

[5]

Here, for example, because in particular the cold cathode elements are simple in structure, easy manufacturing, therefore the surface conduction type emission element can be within the range of the large area to form a plurality of element characteristics. Furthermore, as the application of the surface conduction type emission element, such as an Image display device, Image recording device and the Image forming device, such as charged electron source, are under study.

[6]

In particular, for example, as the application of the Image on the display device, the the applicant USP5066883, , Japan extra Kaiping 2-257551 of communiques, Japan extra Kaiping 4-28137 of the application of the in, such as, by the combination is the study of surface conduction type emission element and due to electron beam irradiation and the light-emitting phosphor of the Image display device. Surface conduction type emitting element and the fluorescent-ray combined Image display device, the other is used now the way compared with the Image display device, the characteristics of the can have better. For example, and in recent years compared with liquid crystal display device of, this kind of Image display device because it is spontaneous light , with no need of back light source and the visual angle greater advantage.

[7]

In the above-mentioned Image display device, in general the baffle is disposed between the back plate and panel. In order to be able to withstand atmospheric pressure, the baffle need for sufficient mechanical strength, and cannot be between the back plate and panel with the operation of the impact of the trajectory of the electron. The reasons for that influence the trajectory of the electron of the charged of the baffle. Baffle charged believe this is because electronic emit from the electron source a part of, or the reflection panel on electronic incident to the bulkhead, secondary electron emitted from the baffle, or the FP by electronic collision ionization ion attachment to the surface.

[8]

If the baffle is provided with a positive charge, in the vicinity of the electronic operation of the baffle will be attracted to the partition board, the display Image occurs near the partition is unbalanced the tune. With the distance between the back plate and the panel is increased, the impact of the with more prominent.

[9]

Method of preventing such a phenomenon has, formed on the partition used for correcting the trajectory of the electron of the method of the electrode (extra opening 2000-235831) and for imparting electrical conductivity to the charged surface of the flow through a plurality of current in order to remove the charge method. Furthermore, in the opens illustriously especially 57-118355 disclosed in, the, pair of separators method of application for imparting electrical conductivity, covering the tin oxide used for the method of the surface of the baffle.

[10]

And, the special Kaiping 3-49135 of PdO the type disclosed in the glass material for covering method. Furthermore, through the back plate and panel of the baffle an electrode is formed on the end-to-end, to the above-mentioned covering material plus the homogeneous electric field, it is possible to prevent the wiring is not good or concentration of current and destroy the baffle.

[11]

By forming on the baffle for correcting the trajectory of the electron to the electrode, or the partition is formed on the surface of the high resistance film, charged of the baffle can be eased, and can inhibit the operation of the separator near to electrons are attracted.

[12]

However, in the above-mentioned existing method, the distance between the elements of the or element in certain drive conditions the impact of situation meeting charged baffle plates. For example, if the element spacing is reduced, the baffle close to the electron emission part is, therefore, affected by the electrification of the baffle. In another example, if the acceleration voltage and the driving voltage changing the driving conditions, the electric field around the baffle will change, even if the baffle is formed with a high resistance film, sometimes electric charge cannot be removed.

Although Figure 1 there is no illustrated in, Y direction wiring 25 of the terminal part of the increased dimension, in order to take wiring used as the electrode.

[57]

Furthermore, in order to make the Y-direction wiring (lower wiring) 25 and X direction wiring (upper wiring) 26 insulating, forming the interlayer insulating layer (not shown). It forms is covered on the X direction wiring 26 (wiring) is formed first in the Y direction of the wiring 25 at an intersection of the (lower wiring), and, in the wiring part of the opening formed in the X direction wiring 26 (upper wiring) and the other a negative side element electrode 24 can be electrically connected with the contact hole (not shown).

[58]

In the interlayer insulating film is formed, to the main ingredient PbO photosensitive glass for after doing a silk-screen printing, the exposure, developing treatment repeated four times, the temperature of about 480° and fired in the presence. The overall thickness of the interlayer insulating layer is about 30 the  m, line width is about 150 the  m.

[59]

Furthermore, X direction wiring (upper wiring) 26 is formed in the first interlayer insulating film for screen printing after drying aluminum paste India medicinal preparation , the same processing on the same, the two coating after about 480° to the temperature of the firing under. X direction wiring 26 clamp the interlaminar insulating film and the Y-direction wiring (lower wiring) 25 cross, also through an interlayer insulating film of the contact hole portion and another negative side element electrode 24 is connected.

[60]

Through the wiring and the other a negative side element electrode 24 is connected with the, in kneading board for use as a scanning electrode. The X direction wiring 26 is about the thickness of the 20  m. According to the method for forming the same as the aforesaid with the not shown external driving circuit is connected with the draw-out wiring. Although not shown in the Figure, in accordance with the method for forming the same as the aforesaid external lead-out terminals of the driving circuit. Therefore, having XY matrix wiring is made of electron source substrate.

[61]

Secondly, the production of the electron source base plate to fully after washing, a solution containing the hydrophobic agent used for surface treatment, the surface to have a hydrophobic. The purpose of this kind of treatment in order to make the later is used for coating of the aqueous solution of the film forming element in the element electrode can properly be expanded on.

[62]

Furthermore, between the element electrodes by ink-jet coating and heating the firing process forms the element film 4. This element film 4 forming processing and to before treatment with the fig. 1 electronic part shown in 27. Figure 2 is shown a schematic diagram of the process. Figure 2A is element shown in of the substrate before film formation. Figure 21 is a glass substrate, 23, 24 is the element electrode, and Figure 1 the same as in.

[63]

In this embodiment, in order to get as the element film of palladium membrane, first of all, in the water and the isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to the 85 [...] 15 formed in the proportion of the aqueous solution, dissolving 0.15 weight % of palladium complex, of the solution containing organic machine arrowhead is made. In addition also add some additive.

[64]

Secondly, as shown in Figure 2B shown, using a piezoelectric element of the ink-jet ejecting device is used as the liquid droplet providing unit 37, the solution is adjusted to the diameter of the of the 60  m, between applied to the electrode. Furthermore, the substrate in the air firing is heated at 350° 10 minutes, of the generated (PdO). As a result, as shown in Figure by 2C diameter is about shown in the 60  m, the thickness is at most 10 nanometer the element film. According to the above treatment processes, of the component part has formed the PdO film.

[65]

Furthermore, the forming process described. The process of the referred to as forming processing means that the conductive film (element film 4) energization processing, in the inside, thereby forming the process of the electronic part. Specific method is, removing the glass substrate 21 of the surrounding, only the electrode portion, covering a mantle shape of the cover, in order to cover the whole substrate, the internal between the base plate forms the vacuum space. In this state, by the external power supply from the electrode terminal portion to the X direction wiring between the wiring and the Y direction of the voltage, is between the electrodes of the component, partial destruction of the conductive film, the nature of the deformation or change, to form the high-resistance state of the electron-emitting part.

[66]

At this time, if the vacuum atmosphere containing some hydrogen of heating is, because of hydrogen the promotion of reduction, of the Pd film into PdO. When the change, because of membrane reduction contraction is generated in a portion of the crack, the position and the shape of the crack generated on the original the homogeneity of the membrane have a great impact. The plurality of components in order to suppress the deviation of the characteristic, the above-mentioned crack in the element electrode desired intermediate part between, and is straight linear.

[67]

Furthermore, although formed in the vicinity of a crack forming, will also be under certain voltage to cause an electron emission, however, the reality condition probability of the occurrence of such a situation is very low. The obtained conductive film the resistance value of the value of Rs 102 -107 Ω.

[68]

Figure 3 is shown in the voltage waveform of the forming treatment. The pulse waveform of the voltage applied. Figure 3A is shown in the pulse peak voltage is applied to the situation of the constant voltage, Figure 3B ridgy high slope is a pulse peak values shown in the position of the one side.

[69]

Figure 3A in, T1 and T2 that the voltage waveform of the pulse width and the pulse interval, T1 is 1 subsidence second-10msec, T2 to 10 the second-100msec the, proper choice of peak of the triangular waveform (the peak value of the voltage). On the other hand, in Figure 3B under the condition of, T1 and T2 is equal to the size of the, crest of the triangular wave (peak voltage during forming), for example in a certain step, 0.1V increment.

[70]

The end of the forming, the forming of the pulse is inserted between the conductive film will not lead to local damage, the voltage of the deformation degree, for example, 0.1V size of the pulse voltage, the element current is measured, and the resistance value from the result, for example, into a forming treatment before the resistance value of the resistance value of 1000 times the above, forming the end of processing.

[71]

Next, activation processing described. First of all, in this state, electron generating efficiency is very low. Therefore, in order to improve the electron emission efficiency, the above-mentioned element is referred to as the desired activation processing process. The processing containing the organic compounds under moderate vacuum environment, as the shaping processing, the shape of the cover cover lid in the base plate to form the vacuum space, through the X direction wiring and a Y-direction wiring from the outside to the element electrode to the repeated application of the pulse voltage. Furthermore, into the gas containing carbon atoms, in the vicinity of the cracks by the accumulation of the carbonaceous elements or carbonized compound as a carbon film.

[72]

In the activation process, the carbon source using phenmethyl cyanogen , through slow releases valve into the vacuum space, the maintenance of the air pressure as the 1.3 × 10-4 Pa. Although the shape of the vacuum device and vacuum device use some effects of the parts and the like, but the pressure is preferably the phenmethyl cyanogen 1 × 10-5 Pa -1 × 10-2 Pa degree.

[73]

Figure 4A, B is activated process is shown for use in preferred examples of the applied voltage. The maximum voltage value of the applied 10-20V appropriate selection within the range of. Figure 4A of in T1 is the voltage waveform of the positive and negative pulse width, T2 is a pulse interval, voltage value is set as the positive and negative of the absolute value is equal to. Furthermore, chart 4B of in T1 and T1 the voltage waveform is [...] the masakazu negative pulse width, T2 is a pulse interval, T1> the T1 [...] , voltage value is set as the positive and negative of the absolute value is equal to.

[74]

At this time, in the element electrode 24 the voltage is positive, from the element electrode 24 to the element electrode 23 If the flow of the direction of the element current forward. Approximately 60 minutes after the substantially saturated Ie emission current when the energization stopping, slow releases valve is closed, activating the processing is finished. Through the above-mentioned processes, can be produced with electron source element of the electron source substrate.

[75]

Below, showed 5, Figure 6 to illustrate the structure and the manufacturing method of the above-mentioned component of the basic characteristics of the electron-emitting element. Figure 5 showing the determination of the component formed with the above-mentioned electron emission characteristic determination evaluation device. Determining the element electrode of the electron emission element of the element current flow between anode and If Ie of the emission current, element electrode 23, 24 and the power supply 51, and ammeter 50 is connected, in the electron emission element of the disposed above the power supply 53 and current meter 52 is connected with the anode 54.

[76]

In other words, 21 said glass substrate, 23, 24 said element electrode, 4 said film containing the electronic part, 27 representing the electronic transmission part. 51 is used for an element is applied on the component of the power supply voltage Vf, 50 flowing through the measuring electrode 23, 24 containing the electronic part of the conductive film 27 of the element current If of the current meter, 54 is to catch from the elements of the electronic part of the emission current emitted by the anode Ie, 53 is to the anode 54 of the high-voltage power supply voltage is applied, 52 is to determine from the electronic transmission part 27 Ie emission current emitted the current meter.

[77]

Electronic transmitting element and anode 54 is set in the vacuum device, the vacuum device including the not illustrated in the Figure and the exhaust in the vacuum apparatus such as vacuum apparatus, the vacuum under the desired measuring and evaluation of this element. Furthermore, anode 54 voltage of 1kV -10kV, anode 54 and electron emission element H is the distance of 1 mm -8 mm.

[78]

Figure 6 show the graphics 5 evaluation of the determination of the measurement of the emission current Ie and element current with the element voltage Vf If the typical example of the relationship between. Furthermore, emission current Ie and element current significantly different size If, Figure 6 If in order to to the current, the change of the Ie for qualitative comparison, the longitudinal axis of the respective mark by any units. Measuring voltage is applied between the element 12V voltage of the electric current that is to be transmitted, the result is an average of 0.6 the  A, the average electron emission efficiency to 0.15%. Uniformity between the component is good, each component of the current between the changes in Ie to 5%, is a good value.

[79]

The electron emission element has three Ie emission current characteristic. 1st, as shown in Figure 6 is shown in, when applying the voltage of the of the element to a certain voltage (called a threshold voltage, Figure 6 the in Vth) above, emission current increase sharply Ie, on the other hand, when the power is below the threshold voltage Vth, emission current on it is very difficult to detect the Ie. In other words, we can see, the the emission current Ie as having a clear threshold value Vth of the nonlinear element of the electric characteristic.

[80]

2nd, because the emission current Ie related to the element voltage Vf, the emission current can be Ie to control element voltage Vf. 3rd, anode 54 capture the transmission charge and the element voltage Vf applied time the relevant. In other words, anode 54 to catch the electric charge can be the amount of by the element voltage Vf is applied to control of time.

Fluorescent film 84 is only monochromatic membrane by phosphor to form, when the color fluorescent screen by phosphor formed by arranging such as is known as the black stripe or black matrix of the black conductors 91 and phosphor 92 form. Provided with black stripes, the purpose of the black matrix, is in order to make the necessary color display of each of the three primary colors of the phosphor of the phosphor 92 in order to color black coated between, or can inhibit because fluorescent film 84 to drop in the contrast ratio of the reflection light.

[83]

The fluorescent film 84 the inner surface side of the normal metal back 85. The metal back 85 is to improve from the purpose of the inner surface side of the phosphor to the panel 35 of the brightness of the light of mirror reflection, and applied to the anode of the electron beam accelerating voltage (accelerating electrode). In making metal back bottom after forming a fluorescent film, the inner surface side of the fluorescent film to smoothing processing (usually referred to as film coating), then, through the vacuum evaporation coating and other deposition and Al.

[84]

Furthermore, when in the sealed, under the condition in a color display, each color phosphor and must be one-to-one corresponding to the electron emission element, therefore, must be used for alignment of the substrate with the position of the full method.

[85]

In addition to the requirements for the vacuum degree during sealing 10-5 Pa other than the extent, in order to in the housing 39 can maintain the vacuum degree after sealing, getter processing is sometimes needed. This is, in a housing 39 just before after or seal, use immediately such as resistance heating or high-frequency heating, the heating method, the predetermined position within the housing (not shown) is disposed on the heating of the getter, to form a vapor deposition film processing. The getter usually by the Ba as a main component such as, for example, by the adsorption of vapor deposition film, can maintain the 1 × 10-5 Pa even 1 × 10-10 Pa degree of vacuum.

[86]

According to the present invention of surface conduction type electron emission element of the basic characteristics, from the electronic part by of electrons emitted from the element electrode of the applied between relatively disposed greater than or equal to the threshold voltage of the peak value of the pulse voltage amplitude and the control of the width.
