Abstract
An improved FED driving method, which uses a voltage control different from the prior FED, to turn an electron beam on/off and increase the resolution. The improved FED driving method is characterized in increasing a positive voltage applied to the FED's anode, grounding the FED's emitter and applying a negative voltage to the FED's gate. When driving the FED, the anode can pull electron beam out of the cathode with high accelerate voltage and the applied negative voltage on the gate can turn the electron beam on/off. As such, this allows a higher resolution because the electron beam is not influenced by the gate's lateral attraction and high lighting efficiency with high anode accelerate voltage.
