Abstract
An electron emission device including an array of microelectronic field emission devices, each with an integrally formed capacitance, a plurality of switches, a weighting level detector, and data storage and weighting structure. In one operational method, the field emission device electron current emission is characterized and a weighting factor is calculated and coupled into the data storage and weighting means so as to provide electron emission device electron emission current in accordance with a desired emission level as prescribed by a data input signal and notwithstanding variations in electron current emission which may be present due to device fabrication.
