Abstract

Lateral luminescent field emitter devices for use in flat panel displays and a method of manufacturing are described. The device comprises a flat substrate, an anode disposed on the substrate, and a cathode disposed on the substrate, the cathode providing an electron emission surface capable of emitting electrons laterally across a gap to a major portion of an adjacent surface of the anode.
