METHOD FOR FABRICATING FIELD EMISSION DISPLAY

A method for fabricating a carbon nanotube-based field emission display includes providing a substrate, forming a cathode array on the substrate, forming a catalyst layer on the cathode array of the substrate by self-assembly of catalyst powders onto the cathode array, growing carbon nanotubes from the cathode array of the substrate, forming an insulating layer on an area of the substrate bearing no cathode array, forming a grid array on the insulating layer of the substrate; and packaging the substrate with a phosphor screen to form the field emission display.
