APPLICANT - NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY [SG/SG][from WIPO filing]

1. A method of fabricating a field emission component for a field emission device (FED),
the method comprising the steps of: preparing a metal-carbon composite film on a suitable
substrate using an appropriate deposition technique; and thermally treating the metal-carbon
composite film post-deposition so as to form nano-particles and/or nanotubes in the film;
whereby, in use, a field emission component with relatively large surface area and improved
emission spot density can be fabricated.

A company named Nanofilm Technologies International involved in FCVA
(filter cathodic vacuum arc coating)(an NNPP R&D interest - see their R&D web page) also seems connected to Filplas.
