Field Emitter Array

Field Emitter Array

A vacuum electronics device, made of a substrate on which small "Spindt tips" are microfabricated. Upon receiving a voltage, the tips emit electrons by field emission, functioning like a cold cathode.

Spindt, Shoulders and Heynick filed a U.S. Patent U.S. Patent 3,755,704 granted on August 28, 1973 ] in 1970 for a vacuum device comprising an array of emitter tips.
