Abstract :
Schwarz-Christoffel conformal mapping is applied to calculate electric fields in field emission display tips for various tip radii and tip-to-tip distances. This method is much faster than numerical analysis methods. Tunneling currents from silicon tips are calculated including a band structure and band-bending. Wigner transport analysis is also suggested as a tunneling current prediction method for field emission display tips
