EECS Colloquium
Abstract
The rapid growth of flat panel display technology is driven by the demand for intelligent human-machine interfaces and portable systems. The need to make high-definition systems thinner, more mobile, more integrated with computing and communications has led to a demand for new flat-panel display technologies that provide high resolution high brightness with low power consumption and yet low cost. The drive in display technology has always been to increase information content and brightness. A newer trend is to make displays smarter.
The field emitter array display is essentially a flat CRT. It is a two-dimensional array of matrix-addressable electron sources proximity focused on a phosphor screen. The devices are fabricated using integrated circuit and micro-machining technologies. The display adds thinness and row adressability to the high brightness, high luminous efficiency and good angular viewability of the CRT.
The talk will focus on recent efforts to reduce the operating voltage of field emission displays and improve resolution while maintaining high luminous efficiency. The integration of MOSFETs with low voltage field emitters and implications for display driver architecture will be discussed.
