Abstract

A field emission display apparatus includes a plurality of emitters formed on a substrate. Each of the emitters includes a titanium silicide nitride outer layer so that the emitters are less susceptible to degradation. A dielectric layer is formed on the substrate and the emitters, and an opening is formed in the dielectric layer surrounding each of the emitters. A conductive extraction grid is formed on the dielectric layer substantially in a plane defined by the emitters, and includes an opening surrounding each of the emitters. A cathodoluminescent faceplate having a planar surface is disposed parallel to the substrate.
