Abstract
A fabrication process is provided for reducing leakage current in a field emission display having at least one electron emitter () electrically coupled to a ballast resistor () coupled to a cathode metal (), wherein at least one defect () extends to a gate electrode () from a region () electrically coupled to the ballast resistor, the method comprising heating () to reduce the resistance of the ballast resistor; and applying () a voltage between the cathode metal and the gate electrode thereby creating a current through the at least one defect to create an electrical open therein.
