A process for fabricating a flat panel display having a faceplate and a baseplate comprises creating an electric field between the faceplate and the baseplate to temporarily attract the faceplate to the baseplate and attaching the baseplate and faceplate to each other while the electric field is present. Capacitor(s) are formed on the faceplate and/or baseplate of a flat panel display such that a portion of the capacitor(s) is formed on the faceplate and is aligned with the pixel matrix and/or a portion of the capacitor(s) is formed on the baseplate and is aligned with the cathode member. The first and second portions of the capacitor(s) are energized to opposite polarity voltages, and an electric field is generated which attracts and aligns the two portions of the capacitor(s) to each other. When the two portions of the capacitor(s) are aligned and attracted to each other, the pixel matrix and cathode assembly are inherently aligned with each other. Once the faceplate and the baseplate are attached to each other, the capacitor(s) are de-energized and the electric field is dissipated.
