Abstract

A flat-panel field emission display comprises a luminescent faceplate, a rigid backplate, and an interposed or sandwiched emitter or cathode plate. A dielectric connector ridge is screen-printed over the faceplate's rear surface. Upper and lower level conductors are then screen printed over the faceplate. The lower-level conductors are applied directly on the faceplate rear surface. The upper-level conductors are applied atop the connector ridge. A plurality of bond wire interconnections extend between individual screen-printed conductors of the upper and lower levels. The bond wire interconnections create inter-level electrical interconnections between said individual screen-printed conductors. The cathode plate is positioned over the connector ridge. The cathode plate has a plurality of die bond pads facing the faceplate rear surface and aligned with the upper-level conductors. A plurality of conductive bonds such as flip-chip connections are positioned between the die bond pads and the facing upper-level conductors.
