A carbon-nanotube-based flat-panel light unit with an aluminum metal anode and an innovative spiral emitter pattern was fabricated in this study. In comparison with roundness and stripe cathode structures, the results show that the structure we proposed has excellent emission performance, namely, high field emission current, no unexpected arcing, high illumination, and good uniformity. Moreover, an emission current density of 5.5 mA/cm2 under an electric field of about 2.9 V/µm, and a luminance of 21700 cd/m2 were demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
