Abstract:

A method for fabricating a field emission display (200) includes the steps of affixing a first tab (122) of an alignment member (120) to a protruding portion (118) of an anode plate (113), affixing a second tab (122) of the alignment member (120) to a protruding portion (121) of a cathode plate (112), aligning the anode plate (113) with the cathode plate (112), affixing the anode plate (113) to the cathode plate (112), and, thereafter, removing the alignment member (120) by removing both the protruding portion (118) of the anode plate (113) and the protruding portion (121) of the cathode plate (112). The tabs (122) are connected to a spacer (124). The thermal expansion coefficients of the cathode plate (112), the anode plate (113), and the alignment member (120) are substantially equal to one another.
