  • Natural rubbers (NR) reinforced by multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) was found to show extraordinary improvement of mechanical property. We speculated that this was owing to the interfacial phase that surrounded CNT and investigated about the phase by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Using force modulation mode and force-distance curve analyses, we succeeded in obtaining the information of its nanometer-scale rheological property. We found that was actually surrounded by the interfacial phase, that had softer modulus than NR matrix.

  • Carbon nanotube arrays were fabricated using micro molding in capillary (MIMIC) process. Patterns remained on the surface in the pattern complementary to that present in the mold. CNTs were selectively grown on the MIMIC patterned sites with a triode PECVD. And turn on field for $10\;{\mu}A/cm^2$ electron emission current was $2.2\;V/{\mu}m$ turn on field.

  • The field degradation of carbon nanotube field emitters in diode emission at constant current was demonstrated to be highly dependent upon the presence of residual gases at partial pressures. Upon exposure to a higher pressure of oxygen containing gases, for example, $O_2$ and CO increased the voltage. Those gases give rise to chemical etching to CNTs emitters. On the contrary, $CH_4$ affected the emission properties in the opposite direction as decreasing the voltage which was probably attributed to the introduction of adsorbate tunneling states. The mixed gas may cause a combined effect of both adsorbate tunneling states and CNT etching.

  • Aquesous carbon nanotubes (CNTs) solutions were prepared using SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfonate) and NADDBS (sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate). Our inks are found to have the viscosity of 1-2 cps. In addition, the surface tension of inks inversely decreased with increasing surfactant concentration and then saturated at critical micelle concentration (CMC). The low surface tension at CMC gave rise to lower contact angles on Indium layers, resulting in larger printable feature sizes. In the fabrication of cold cathode, jet-printing is feasible to modify and scale up the cathode structures. These feasibilities could contribute jet-printing method to be more adaptable for making large-area cold cathodes.

  • The prototype of the field emission display with carbon nanotube emitter is developed in this study. To improve the brightness and color gamut of the prototype, new phosphor material, $SrGa_2S_4:Eu$, is adopted instead of conventional CRT-green phosphor. By replacing the green phosphor, the prototype shows significant improvements in the brightness and color gamut. At the anode voltage of 7 kV and the anode current of $2{\sim}3\;{\mu}A/cm^2$ the brightness is higher than $600\;cd/m^2$. The luminous efficiency of the prototype is about 7.7 lm/Watt.

  • Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown on catalyst dots by thermal chemical vapor deposition were vertically aligned with a high population density. Such densely populated CNTs showed poor field emission characteristics due to the electrical screening effect. We reduced the number density of CNTs using an adhesive tape treatment. For dotpatterned CNTs, the tape treatment decreased the CNT density by three orders of magnitude, drastically improved the turn-on electric field from 4.8 to $1.8V/{\mu}m$, and changed the emission image from spotty to uniform luminescence. We also report long-term emission stability of dot-patterned CNTs by measuring the emission currents with time at different duty ratios.

  • In this study, the field emission display with carbon nanotube emitter is developed for the large size HDTV application. Two structures for electron beam focusing are developed on the typical top-gate cathode. The metal grid and focusing gate structure are proved to be effective for the focusing. The data switching voltage for the double gate structure is lower than 30V which is competitive value in respect of the cost for driver electronics. The brightness and color gamut are comparable to those of the commercial product such as CRT.

  • Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grown on Ni-coated TiN/Si substrate by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition using mixture gas of $H_2/CH_4$ at low temperature of 500 $^{\circ}C$. Average diameter of CNTs could be easily controlled by $H_2$ plasma pretreatment time before CNTs growth. The turn-on voltages of CNT emitters were varied from 3.5 $V/{\mu}m$ to 9 $V/{\mu}m$ according to the hydrogen pretreatment conditions. The close relationship between electron emission characteristics and pretreatment time indicates that pretreatment condition can be a key process parameter in CNTs growth for field emission displays..
