Abstract
The material of the carbon system including the diamond is a material as fee that has high potential. We are aiming at the achievement of the electrode for the liquid crystal backlight as a diamond thin film application. One clue from the relation between the discharging characteristic of the diamond electrode and the surface-roughness of the diamond to driving voltage decrease was obtained. Therefore, it is thought that the decrease of the driving voltage is more possible if a minute stylus of the high-aspect ratio can be formed on the surface of the diamond electrode. Secondary electron emission characteristics of the diamond electrode to which the surface was processed by reactive ion etching (RIE) of the parallel, monotonous type capacity uniting that used the MgO electrode were examined in the present study.
