Abstract
A field emitter array device includes a ceramic substrate member having a multiplicity of through conductive vias therein. An insulative material layer is located on the ceramic substrate member. An addressable array of gate and emitter line elements is located on the insulative material and is conductively coupled to the through substrate conductive vias. A backside connector is located on the ceramic substrate member and conductively coupled to the vias for connection of the ceramic substrate member with an array driver device for the addressable array of emitter and gate line elements. A field emitter array of field emitter elements on the insulative material layer of the ceramic substrate member which are operatively coupled with the addressable array of gate and emitter line elements.
