Relationship between field emission property and composition of carbon nanotube paste for large area cold cathode

CNT paste was made by mixture of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) powder, organic vehicles and inorganic binder. Then firing process was performed at different temperature under air and N/sub 2/ atmosphere. It was found that emission property of CNT paste was changed by firing temperature due to remained resin. We obtained good emission property from CNT paste treated at 350/spl deg/C.
