| Research Abstract |
Control of self-organized morphologies of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was aimed to apply them for electron emitters in field emission (FE) type light emitting elements. In order to form CNT emitters with moderate spacing and number density desirable for an efficient electron source, FE properties ranging from self-organized CNT emitters to macroscopic device properties were systematically studied. Through the multi-scaled evaluation ; control of CNT growth and optimization of device structures, the preparation condition to fulfill their FE properties was highly improved. It is expected that the findings obtained are applied for the processes tolerable for a variety of conventional substrates.
