Field emission displays (FED) are drawing attention as one of the most promising flat panel displays. Currently, the development stage of Spindt-type FEDs with Mo emitter is close to an end. The monocolor Spindt-type FEDs are being supplied to the market, and the color FEDs are ready for mass production. FED is also expected as a low power consumed display device, because the power, in principle, is consuming at the light emitting part only. The present status of FEDs with Spindt type and nanocarbon emitters are reported in this article.
