Abstract
A spacer structure for a display is disclosed that has a CTE which matches or very closely approximates the CTE of a high quality, desirable glass from which other display structures such as faceplates can be fabricated. The spacer structure is composed of a material that has a CTE that is tailorable within a range that closely matches the CTE range spanned by a variety of readily available high quality, desirable glass from which other display structures such as faceplates can be fabricated. The spacer structure disclosed has a CTE that achieves the foregoing qualities and retains all other properties characterizing requirements for use in displays. Further, the spacer structure disclosed has a CTE that enables great flexibility in the selection of other display components, without having to revamp existing fabrication techniques. Further still, a spacer structure is disclosed that minimizes zero current shift.
