Abstract

The present invention relates to a field emission display which applies a field emission device (or field emitter) to a flat panel display. The field emission display in accordance with the present invention has the lower plate in which the pixel array and the scan and data driving circuits are integrated one insulating substrate, therefore, it is possible to implement a field emission display capable of providing a high quality picture in a low price. The voltage is applied to the scan and data driving circuits may considerably decrease through the tin film transistor attached to each pixel. The field emission characteristics are stabilized by the resistor attached to the field emission device so that reliable field emission display may be fabricated. Further, since all the processes are carried out at a low temperature, a glass, which is low in price and has a large area, may be used as an insulating substrate.
