Abstract
A method of fabricating an anode plate 18 for use in a field emission device comprises the steps of providing a transparent substrate 20 and depositing a layer of a transparent, electrically conductive material 24 on a surface of the substrate. Next, portions of the layer of conductive material 24 are removed to form regions of the conductive material. Luminescent material 26 is then applied on the conductive regions and an outer portion 27 of at least some of the particles of the luminescent material are thereafter removed.
