Low temperature burnable CNT paste component for CNT-field emitter backlight unit

Abstract

New component of CNT paste is explored to develop a carbon nanotube field emitter backlight unit (CNT-FE BLU) by screen printing method. To reduce the remnant of organic binder materials on the surface of SWCNT, P(MMA-co-BMA) random block copolymer as the new binder materials is developed. The weight of the remnant materials after burning process at 350/spl deg/C was measured by TGA. The measured field emission property demonstrated that the developed P(MMA-co-BMA) was effective to reduce the remnant on surface of CNT, which is critically important for improving the field emission property of CNT-FE BLU fabricated by screen printing method.
