Abstract (en)

The cathode structure of a flat display screen includes a substrate on which there are columns (15) of individually polarisable cathode conductors. These are associated with a resistive layer (11) on which electronic emission micropoints (2) are deposited. There is also provision to annul the effective lateral electric field between two neighbouring columns which are held at different potentials. Between two neighbouring columns there is an inter-column conductive track which is intended to be polarised to a potential at least equal to the minimal polarisation potential of the cathode conductors. These inter-column conductive tracks may be connected together by one of their ends. The structure may also comprise an insulating layer carried on the cathode conductors associated with the resistive layer. A grid conductor layer is then deposited on the insulating layer.
