Abstract

Another aspect of the present invention comprises a method for fabricating columnar supports used for an evacuated display, in which an electrode plate is covered with a layer of material having a depth. The material is used to form the columnar supports, and the depth of the layer represents the height of the columnar supports. The material is selectively irradiated with light energy in a pattern causing the material to harden, thereby forming the columnar supports.
