Abstract
The design, development, and manufacture of field emission displays present the materials scientist with a myriad of issues and constraints. These range from the suitability of the cold cathode layer, the compatibility and adhesion of the various layers that form the device, and the overall approach to sealing and operating the display in a product oriented package. This paper considers the various components of a field emission display, details the material properties that are important in each case, reviews how existing devices have solved the issues, and looks at how future devices may achieve reality.
