Abstract From the Canadian patent

Field emitter flat display, having an inner vacuum space wherein there are housed: a) a layer of excitable phosphors and a plurality of microcathodes (MT) which, emit electrons driven by a high electric field; and b) a plurality of electric feedthroughs (P) and a vacuum stabilizer (G). Said vacuum stabilizer (g) is essentially formed of a porous supported layer of a non-evaporable getter material 20 to 180 µm thick, housed in a zone essentially free from microcathodes, phosphors and feedthroughs.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed February 27, 1995 and granted December 30, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 27, 2015.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 27, 2017.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
