摘要
In this report, details are given of our recent experimental study of using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as cathode of the luminescent tubes. The CNT film is synthesized by thermal chemical vapor deposition. Two kinds of luminescent tubes that have different gaps have been fabricated. The luminescent tube with 0.1 turn gap has a low threshold voltage of about 780 V and high emission current of 300 muA when the gate voltage is 970 V. The DC power consumption of the luminescent tube with a 0.1 mm gap is similar to 1.12 W. The results show that the CNTs are very good emission sources and suitable for application in the luminescent tube. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
