The preparation of ITO films by DC magnetron sputtering and its application in a field emission display

Recent years, the research of field emission display (FED) has attracted a lot of attentions because of its high display quality. In some application occasions, double side display is needed. Indium-tin oxide (ITO) is widely used as a transparent conducting electrode in flat-panel displays because it has high electrical conductivity, high optical transparency. By using a transparent ITO electrode and a transparent cold cathode, double side FED display is possible. In this study, ITO films have been used for cathode and phosphor electrodes. The prospect of a FED with double-side display capability was demonstrated.
