Extract

Further development of Vacuum Fluorescent Displays (Fig.l) for low cost production and high yield requires investigation of all the components on a submicron scale at various processing stages.

A variety of specimen preparation methods have been used for making different types of high quality cross-sectional and plan-view TEM specimens from:

  1. 1. Initial phosphor materials - ZnCdS powders admixed with conducting powder of ln2O3;

  2. 2. In2O3 mixed ZnCdS phosphor layers of ready-made working VFD;

  3. 3. W - filament cathodes coated with (Ba,Sr,Ca) oxides.

  4. Rapid sharing of results.

Group 1 specimens were made both by direct dispersion of phosphor powder particles on the carbon coated copper grid from acetone diluted powder suspension, and by preparation of cured bulk material from the powder using Gatan G-l epoxy, followed by cutting, grinding-dimpling and final ion milling in Gatan DuoMill 600 (Fig.2).
