Abstract
In this paper, the current-mode active matrix (AM) addressing method is developed for carbon nanotube (CNT) based field emission displays (FEDs). Simulation results show that this method is very promising to be used to produce FEDs with good enough luminance uniformity. A simple SPICE model for the CNT field emission (FE) device, and a circuit model emulating the pixel circuit's behaviour in the true display matrix, is introduced for the simulation.
