Abstract: Lateral luminescent field emitter device (10) for use in flat panel displays and a method of manufacturing are described. Field enhancing structures such as conical tips, film edges, whiskers, etc. provide only a low current, high density electron beam which suffer from uniformity limitations. The present invention provides an efficient method of manufacturing a small, uniform gap between the anode and the cathode of a lateral field emitter device so as to provide a uniform field emission. The device (10) comprises a flat substrate (12), an anode (16) disposed on the substrate (12), and a cathode (22) disposed on the substrate (12), the cathode (22) providing an electron emission surface (26) capable of emitting electrons laterally across a gap (30) to a major portion of an adjacent surface (24) of the anode (16).
