Fully sealed field emission display in size of 4.5 inch has been fabricated using single-wall carbon nanotubes-organic vehicle com-posite. The fabricated display were fully scalable at low temperature below 415$^{\circ}C$ and CNTs were vertically aligned using paste squeeze and surface rubbing techniques. The turn-on fields of 1V/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and field emis-sion current of 1.5mA at 3V/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ (J=90${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/$\textrm{cm}^2$)were observed. Brightness of 1800cd/$m^2$ at 3.7V/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ was observed on the entire area of 4.5-inch panel from the green phosphor-ITO glass. The fluctuation of the current was found to be about 7% over a 4.5-inch cath-ode area. This reliable result enables us to produce large area full-color flat panel dis-play in the near future. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted much attention because of their unique elec-trical properties and their potential applica-tions [1, 2]. Large aspect ratio of CNTs together with high chemical stability. ther-mal conductivity, and high mechanical strength are advantageous for applications to the field emitter [3]. Several results have been reported on the field emissions from multi-walled nanotubes (MWNTs) and single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) grown from arc discharge [4, 5]. De Heer et al. have reported the field emission from nan-otubes aligned by the suspension-filtering method. This approach is too difficult to be fully adopted in integration process. Recently, there have been efforts to make applications to field emission devices using nanotubes. Saito et al. demonstrated a car-bon nanotube-based lamp, which was oper-ated at high voltage (10KV) [8]. Aproto-type diode structure was tested by the size of 100mm $\times$ 10mm in vacuum chamber [9]. the difficulties arise from the arrangement of vertically aligned nanotubes after the growth. Recently vertically aligned carbon nanotubes have been synthesized using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition(CVD) [6, 7]. Yet, control of a large area synthesis is still not easily accessible with such approaches. Here we report integra-tion processes of fully sealed 4.5-inch CNT-field emission displays (FEDs). Low turn-on voltage with high brightness, and stabili-ty clearly demonstrate the potential applica-bility of carbon nanotubes to full color dis-plays in near future. For flat panel display in a large area, car-bon nanotubes-based field emitters were fabricated by using nanotubes-organic vehi-cles. The purified SWNTs, which were syn-thesized by dc arc discharge, were dispersed in iso propyl alcohol, and then mixed with on organic binder. The paste of well-dis-persed carbon nanotubes was squeezed onto the metal-patterned sodalime glass throuhg the metal mesh of 20${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in size and subse-quently heat-treated in order to remove the organic binder. The insulating spacers in thickness of 200${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ are inserted between the lower and upper glasses. The Y\ulcornerO\ulcornerS:Eu, ZnS:Cu, Al, and ZnS:Ag, Cl, phosphors are electrically deposited on the upper glass for red, green, and blue colors, respectively. The typical sizes of each phosphor are 2~3 micron. The assembled structure was sealed in an atmosphere of highly purified Ar gas by means of a glass frit. The display plate was evacuated down to the pressure level of 1$\times$10\ulcorner Torr. Three non-evaporable getters of Ti-Zr-V-Fe were activated during the final heat-exhausting procedure. Finally, the active area of 4.5-inch panel with fully sealed carbon nanotubes was pro-duced. Emission currents were character-ized by the DC-mode and pulse-modulating mode at the voltage up to 800 volts. The brightness of field emission was measured by the Luminance calorimeter (BM-7, Topcon).

국내 수리지질환경에 적합한 다양한 방법론적 접근을 통해 균열암반에서의 지하수 유동 특성을 해석하기 위하여 금산군 남이면 남이자연휴양림 내 연구지역에서 시험시추공 5개(BH-1, -2, -3, -4, -5)를 대상으로 연구를 수행하였다. 연구지역의 균열발달 특성을 파악하기 위한 기초조사로서 광역 선구조선 분포를 분석한 결과 북서-남동 방향의 연장 성이 좋은 구조선들이 우세하게 분포하는데, 이 영향으로 남북방향으로 배열된 시추공들 사이에 파쇄대의 발달과 연 결성이 좋다. 현장 지질조사, 시추코아 로깅, 물리검층, 전기비저항 토모그래피, 열추적자시험, 유향 유속검층을 통해 각 시추공에 대한 파쇄대 특성 및 시추공 간의 투수성과 상호 연결성을 해석하였다. 시추공 간의 파쇄대 연결성음 분석한 결과 주입정인 BH-1 호공과 BH-2, BH-3은 연결성이 매우 나쁜 반면에 BH-1, BH-4, BH-5 호공은 연결성 이 매우 좋다. 특히, BH-1 호공과 BH-5 호공의 수리적 연결성을 파악하기 위하여 BH-1에서 양수하고 BH-5에서 측정한 경우 심도 12 m 지점에서 강한 지하수의 유출이 있으며 이 외의 지점에서는 부분적인 지하수의 유출업이 있다. 주된 지하수 유입은 심도 65 m와 70 m 지점에서 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 BH-5에서 양수하고 BH-1에서 측정한 경우에는 심도 17 m 지점에서 시추공으로부터 강하게 지하수의 유출이 발생하고 있음이 확인되었고, 이외에 70 m 지점에서도 유출이 일어나고 있다. 또한 투수성을 가지는 균열대 중 공간 상호 연결성을 가지는 것으로 확인된 것은 BH-1의 경우 15 m, 67 m, 71 m 지점이며, BH-5는 15 m, 17 m, 22 m, 72 m, 83 m 심도의 균열 혹은 균열대에서 BH-1과 상호 연결성이 있다.
