摘要
We have fabricated a field emitter array (FEA) monolithically integrated with a thin-film-transistor (TFT), called a TFT-FEA, on glass and characterized its emission properties. Fabrication of the TFT-FEA on glass was conducted through low-temperature processes of less than 350 degrees C. From experimental results, it was found that the emission current was well controlled by the TFT drain current and consequently became stable. Emission was also turned on/off by the TFT function at a low voltage of 3 V. With this TFT-FEA, very stable emission currents with fluctuations of less than 2% have been demonstrated.
