71.1: Invited Paper: A 36-inch Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display (SED)

We have developed a 36-inch surface-conduction electron-emitter display (SED), consisting of surface conduction electron emitters (SCEs) and a phosphor screen for CRTs. The main features of the prototype are luminance of 400 cd/m2, contrast ratio of 10,000: 1 in a dark room, and response time of < 1 ms. The SED panel offers sufficient performance for application to TVs.
