Abstract
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, there is disclosed herein a structure and method of fabricating an anode plate for use in a field emission device. The method comprises the steps of providing a transparent substrate 20 and applying transparent insulative material 28 over the substrate 20. Next, particles of luminescent material 25 are partially embedded in selective areas of the transparent insulative material 28. A layer of electrically conductive material 23 is then applied over the luminescent material 25. The layer of electrically conductive material 23 is abraded so as to remove portions of the layer of electrically conductive material 23 and portions of at least some of the luminescent particles 25.
