Abstract
An electron emitter, such as for a display, has a substrate and regions of n-type material and p-type material on the substrate arranged such that there is an interface junction between the regions exposed directly to vacuum for the liberation of electrons. The p-type region may be a thin layer on top of the n-type region or the two regions may be layers on adjacent parts of the substrate with adjacent edges forming the interface junction. Alternatively, there many be multiple interface junctions formed by p-type particles or by both p-type and n-type particles. The particles may be deposited on the substrate by an ink-jet printing technique. The p-type material is preferably diamond, which may be activated to exhibit negative electron affinity.
