Based on simple screen printing technique,the parallel grid electrode group was developed. One grid electrode included the left and the right branch electrodes,which were formed with the solidified silver slurry on grid substrate. Under one anode pixel,the left and the right branch electrodes would control respectively the electron emission of two independent carbon nanotube (CNT) field emitters on the same cathode electrode. With the parallel grid electrode group, the capacitance effect between grid-cathode electrodes would be reduced due to the decreased grid electrode fabrication area. And the service life of field emission display (FED) could be prolonged owing to the existence of spare branch electrode. Using CNT as field emitter,the FED with parallel grid electrode group was fabricated,which possessed better grid control performance, high luminescence image brightness, and low fabrication cost. The turn-on electric-field was 2. 13 V /mm and the maximum field emission current had reached 1 506. 2 mA.
To help comfort for an amputee, it is important to understand the load distribution between the residual limb and the prosthetic socket for a prosthetic socket system. An interfacial stress sensor was presented which was capable of measuring compressive pressure and shear stress simultaneously. A mathematical model was built and an experiment was conducted to obtain the transfer function of interfacial stress sensor to compressive pressure. The results show that the sensor is capable of measuring a range of 30-217 kPa compressive pressure with a relative error of 32.15% in lower range and 6.22% in upper range.
With high effective screen-printing technique, a new triode field emission display (FED)with enhanced petaling cold cathode was fabricated. For enhancing the field emission performance,a series of improved measures was adopted in the fabrication course. Seen from the fabrication structure of enhanced petaling cold cathode,the bar conducting electrode and the petaling bottom electrode were fabricated with the sintered silver slurry on cathode glass faceplate. The luminescence image with green phosphor was displayed for the sealed enhanced petaling cold cathode FED. The measured results showed that the enhanced petaling cold cathode had good field emission performance. The enhanced petaling cold cathode FED possessed low turn-on electric-field of 1. 95 V /μm,large emission current of 1 389. 6 μA,and high luminance brightness of 1 520 cd /m2 .
