Abstract

Diamond-like carbon is a strong candidate for field emission microcathodes for field emission displays because of its low electron affinity and chemical inertness. The field emission properties of various types of diamond-like carbon such as a-C:H and ta-C are reviewed in the framework of a bonding model of their affinity.
