Abstract

A method of making a wire for a gate frame of a field emission display including the step of forming a gate wire of a gate frame of a field emission display, wherein the gate wire has a cross section shaped to produce an electric field between adjacent gate wires that is substantially uniform and substantially flat across a cathode sub-pixel region of an emitter line of the field emission display. In one embodiment, the electric field causes an electron emission that is substantially straight from the cathode sub-pixel portion of the emitter line.
