History Field emission was discovered and studied independently from 1880s to 1930s
Fowler‐Nordheim‐equation was developed 1928
A li i d l i f 1930 Application developments ongoing from 1930s
1991 first attempts to develop FEDs were made
2005 Sony started a joint venture with Tex Gate (Field Emission Technologies Inc.))

Field emission
Basics
Fowler‐Nordheim‐Tunneling
Field emission from a solid surface into vacuum
Electrons are emitted from an emission tip, by applying electrical currentp y pp y g
Necessary current depends on the Aspect ratio Preferably a long narrow tip with a small curvature radius Preferably a long narrow tip with a small curvature radius

Penetration depth depends on the voltage
High surface excitation Leads to a fewer number of excited luminescent centres
Appearance of defects increase on the long termg

Conclusions
FED brings along a variety of advantages
Proccessibility seems to be a hard task
Low voltage phosphors are a prerequisite
Big competing techniques

Future aspects
2009 Inventions into Field Emission Technology Inc were cut down
OLED, Plasma, PLED.... are maybe a too big competitor
Four colour technology seems to be promising
