Fabrication of flexible carbon nanotube field emitter arrays by direct microwave irradiation on organic polymer substrate.
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were directly synthesized on flexible polymer substrates without damage of polymer by microwave irradiation. Cobalt was used as the catalysts, and the synthesis was done in the atmospheric pressure with an acetylene carbon source. Only 5 s was required for the synthesis of well-graphitized CNTs. Field emission measurements revealed that this flexible CNT field emitter array has a great potential for the flexible field emission displays (FEDs).
