Field emitter array

A field emitter array is like a tiny bunch of straws. Each straw is made up of a sharp tip made of special materials that can send out tiny electrons. The straws are arranged in a grid pattern and can be used to create images like pictures or videos on a screen. Just like blowing air through a bunch of straws can create sounds, sending electrons through the tiny tips of the field emitter array can create pictures on a screen.
