Method for binding phosphor particles in a field emission display device

A phosphor particle bounded substrate formed by a method comprising:

• applying phosphor particles to the substrate;
• submerging the substrate into a binder solution;
• and
• removing the substrate from the binder solution at a predetermined rate.

A phosphor particle bounded substrate, comprising:

• a substrate having first and second surfaces;
• an anode electrode formed on the first surface of the substrate;
• a fluorescent material layer (FML) formed on the anode electrode, the FML having phosphor particles disposed thereon;
• wherein the phosphor particles are bound to the substrate by submerging the substrate into a binder solution and removing the substrate from the binder solution at a predetermined rate.

A system for binding phosphor particles to a substrate, comprising:

• a first bath containing a non-aqueous solution with phosphor particles dispensed therein, the first bath for receiving the substrate to be immersed in the non-aqueous solution;
• a power supply coupled to the substrate when the substrate is immersed in the non-aqueous solution, and to a counter electrode;
• a binder solution;
• a second bath containing the binder solution, the second bath enabling submersion of the substrate into the binder solution;
• and
• a furnace for heating the substrate.
