Carbon nanotubes possess the following properties favorable for field emitters: (1) high aspect ratio, (2) small radius of curvature at their tips, (3) high chemical stability and (4) high mechanical strength. A field emission microscopy (FEM) study was carried out for both multiwall nanotubes (MWNTs) and single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs) produced by are discharge between carbon electrodes. Field emission patterns as well as current versus voltage characteristics and Fowler-Nordheim plots are discussed. As an application of nanotube held emitters, we manufactured cathode-ray tube (CRT) type lighting-elements and vacuum-fluorescence display (VFD) panels. In both display elements, conventional thermionic cathodes were replaced with MWNT field emitters. Stable electron emission, adequate luminance, and long life of the emitters was demonstrated.
