We report a surface-conducted field emitter made of a ZnO nanotetrapod and MgO nanoparticle composites with a high emission efficiency (similar to 100%) and current (3.77 mA at a gate voltage of 100 V and anode voltage of 1800 V). The fabrications of the triode structure with a 10x10pixel array and corresponding driving method have been proposed. The electron trajectories are simulated according to the structure. Individual pixel addressing can be achieved by a sequential scanning mode. Display of moving images employing this triode structure was demonstrated. The results are of significance to the development of ZnO based triode field emitters.
