Description

구조적 안정성이 향상된 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터, 이의 제조방법 및 이를 이용한 전계 방출 소자Carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter with improved structural stability, manufacturing method thereof, and field emission device using same

본 발명은 탄소나노튜브 이미터에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 탄소나노튜브 시트를 감아 롤 형태로 형성함으로써 구조적 안정성을 향상시킨 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a carbon nanotube emitter, and more particularly, to a carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter with improved structural stability by winding the carbon nanotube sheet to form a roll.

전계 방출이란 진공에서 두 개의 물질 (양극, 음극) 표면에 전계를 인가할 경우, 음극 표면의 전위 장벽 (Potential Barrier)이 얇아지면서 전자들이 양자역학적으로 터널링 되는 현상을 말한다. 이때, 전계 방출 특성을 극대화하여 초고전류밀도를 얻기 위해서는 나노 구조를 가지는 음극 재료 즉, 나노전자원의 도입이 필수적이다. 나노전자원의 전계 방출 특성은 구조적 비등방성(Aspect Ratio)이 클수록, 그리고 화학적으로 안정할수록 우수한 특성을 보인다. Field emission refers to a phenomenon in which electrons are quantum-mechanically tunneled as the potential barrier of the cathode surface becomes thin when an electric field is applied to the surfaces of two materials (anode and cathode) in a vacuum. At this time, in order to obtain an ultra-high current density by maximizing the field emission characteristics, it is essential to introduce an anode material having a nano structure, that is, a nano electron source. The field emission characteristics of the nanoelectron source show excellent properties as the structural anisotropy (Aspect Ratio) increases and the chemical stability increases.

최근, 이러한 전계 방출 소자의 이미터로 탄소나노튜브(Carbon Nanotube: CNT)가 각광받고 있다. 2차원 구조의 그래핀이 튜브 형태로 말려 있는 소재인 탄소나노튜브는 전술한 요구 사항에 최적화된 우수한 나노전자원 재료로, 직경이 수 nm 이면서 길이는 수~수십μm 로 일반적인 반도체 공정으로는 구현하기 어려운 고 종횡비(aspect ratio)의 구조를 가질 뿐만 아니라, 열적, 기계적 안정성도 큰 특징을 가진다. 이에 따라 이격된 거리에서 전압을 인가하면 CNT 끝단에 높은 전기장이 유도되고 이에 대응하여 전자의 양자역학적인 터널링(quantum mechanical tunneling)이 매우 쉽게 일어나기 때문에 CNT를 고성능의 전자원(electron source)으로 활용할 수 있다.Recently, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been spotlighted as emitters of such field emission devices. Carbon nanotube, a material in which two-dimensional graphene is rolled in a tube form, is an excellent nanoelectron source material optimized for the above requirements. It not only has a structure of a high aspect ratio, which is difficult to do, but also has great thermal and mechanical stability. Accordingly, when a voltage is applied at a distance, a high electric field is induced at the tip of the CNT, and quantum mechanical tunneling of electrons occurs very easily in response to this, so the CNT can be used as a high-performance electron source. there is.

따라서 이러한 탄소나노튜브를 이용하여 고성능의 안정적인 전계 방출 소자를 구현하기 위한 많은 연구들이 수행되고 있다.Therefore, many studies are being conducted to implement a high-performance and stable field emission device using such carbon nanotubes.

한국등록특허 10-1992745에서는 탄소나노튜브 섬유(yarn)를 평행하게 배열하고 이를 압착하여 시트로 제조한 후 이를 튜브 형태로 만들어 전계 방출 소자를 제조함으로써 구조적 안정성 및 전자 방출 효율 향상을 꾀하였다. 그러나 상기의 튜브 형태의 전계 방출 소자는 탄소나노튜브 섬유(yarn)들이 서로 π-π 상호 작용으로 결합되어 매우 약하며, 전계 방출 소자의 선단에서 발생하는 전자에 의한 반발력에 매우 취약할 뿐 아니라, 소자의 가운데가 비어있어 전자가 방출되는 면적이 줄어든다는 문제점이 있었다.In Korean Patent No. 10-1992745, structural stability and electron emission efficiency were improved by arranging carbon nanotube fibers (yarn) in parallel and pressing them to make a sheet, and then forming a tube shape to manufacture a field emission device. However, the tube-shaped field emission device is very weak because carbon nanotube fibers (yarn) are coupled to each other through π-π interaction, and is very vulnerable to repulsion by electrons generated at the tip of the field emission device. There was a problem that the area where electrons were emitted was reduced because the center of the was empty.

상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여, 한국등록특허 10-2099411에서는 튜브 형태의 홀더를 이용하여 평행하게 배열된 탄소나노튜브 섬유들이 방출 시의 전자에 의한 섬유 간 척력으로 서로 밀어내는 것을 잡아주도록 함으로써 전계 방출 소자의 구조적 안정성을 더욱 향상시키고자 하였다. 그러나 상기 홀더로부터 노출된 탄소나노튜브 섬유들은 여전히 약한 π-π 상호 작용으로 결합되어 섬유 간 척력에 대하여 그 구조가 취약하므로, 상기 홀더로부터 노출된 부분을 길게 형성하는 것에는 한계가 있다는 문제점이 있었다.In order to solve the above problems, in Korean Patent No. 10-2099411, by using a tube-shaped holder, the carbon nanotube fibers arranged in parallel are repulsive to each other due to the repulsive force between the fibers due to electrons during emission. An attempt was made to further improve the structural stability of the emission device. However, since the carbon nanotube fibers exposed from the holder are still combined with a weak π-π interaction and their structure is weak with respect to the repulsive force between the fibers, there is a problem in that there is a limitation in forming the portion exposed from the holder to be long. .

이하 첨부된 도면을 참고하여 본 발명의 실시예를 상세히 설명하기로 한다.Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터를 설명한다. A carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

본 발명에서 사용하는 용어 '번들(bundle)'이란, 달리 언급되지 않는 한, 복수 개의 탄소나노튜브의 단위체가 단위체 길이 방향의 축이 실질적으로 동일한 배향으로 나란하게 배열되거나, 배열된 후 꼬여있거나 또는 뒤엉켜있는, 다발(bundle) 혹은 로프(rope) 형태의 2차 형상을 지칭한다.The term 'bundle' as used in the present invention, unless otherwise stated, means that units of a plurality of carbon nanotubes are arranged side by side in substantially the same orientation in the longitudinal direction of the units, or twisted after being arranged, or It refers to a secondary shape in the form of an entangled, bundle or rope.

도 1은 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터의 구조를 개략적으로 나타낸 모식도이다.1 is a schematic diagram schematically showing the structure of a carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter according to an embodiment of the present invention.

도 2는 본 발명의 탄소나노튜브 시트를 나타낸 사진이다.2 is a photograph showing the carbon nanotube sheet of the present invention.

도 1 및 도 2를 참조하면, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터(100)는, 탄소나노튜브 시트(10)가 중심 축(A)을 기준으로 감긴 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤을 포함하되,1 and 2 , in the carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the carbon nanotube sheet 10 is a carbon nanotube sheet wound around a central axis A. including rolls,

상기 탄소나노튜브 시트(10)는, 복수개의 탄소나노튜브 번들(11)들이 서로 공유결합을 통해 결합되어 형성된 것을 특징으로 하는 것일 수 있다.The carbon nanotube sheet 10 may be characterized in that a plurality of carbon nanotube bundles 11 are bonded to each other through a covalent bond.

전술한 바와 같이 종래의 탄소나노튜브를 이용한 이미터들은, 탄소나노튜브 섬유 가닥으로 구성되며, 상기 탄소나노튜브 섬유들이 상기 섬유 가닥 간의 π-π 상호 작용에 의존하여 결합된 형태를 갖는 것을 그 특징으로 하였다. As described above, conventional emitters using carbon nanotubes are composed of carbon nanotube fiber strands, and the carbon nanotube fibers have a combined form depending on the π-π interaction between the fiber strands. was done with

그러나 상기 π-π 상호 작용은 약한 결합으로, 상기 결합으로 상기 탄소나노튜브 섬유를 따라 선단에서 방출되는 전자들 간의 반발력을 견디고 이미터의 구조적 안정성을 유지하기에는 충분하지 못하다는 문제점이 있었다.However, the π-π interaction is a weak bond, and there is a problem in that the bond is not sufficient to withstand the repulsive force between electrons emitted from the tip along the carbon nanotube fiber and to maintain the structural stability of the emitter.

이에, 본 발명의 발명자들은, 탄소나노튜브 번들들이 서로 공유결합으로 단단하게 연결되어 형성되는 탄소나노튜브 시트를 이용하여 이미터를 구성하되, 상기 탄소나노튜브 시트를 중심축을 기준으로 돌돌 말아서 롤 형태를 갖도록 본 발명의 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터를 구성하였다.Accordingly, the inventors of the present invention construct an emitter using a carbon nanotube sheet formed by tightly connecting carbon nanotube bundles to each other by a covalent bond, and roll the carbon nanotube sheet around a central axis to form a roll The carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter of the present invention was constructed to have

상기와 같은 구성으로 인하여, 본 발명의 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터는, 종래의 π 결합보다 강한 공유결합으로 연결된 탄소나노튜브 번들로 이루어진 시트를 이용하므로, 향상된 구조적 안정성을 갖는다.Due to the above configuration, the carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter of the present invention uses a sheet made of a carbon nanotube bundle connected by a covalent bond stronger than the conventional π bond, and thus has improved structural stability.

뿐만 아니라, 상기와 같은 탄소나노튜브 시트를 롤 형태로 돌돌 말아 이미터를 구성함으로써, 그 구조적 안정성을 더욱 극대화 하였다.In addition, by forming the emitter by rolling the carbon nanotube sheet as described above in a roll shape, the structural stability of the carbon nanotube sheet was further maximized.

이때, 상기 탄소나노튜브 시트(10)의 상기 복수개의 탄소나노튜브 번들(11)들은, 일정한 방향성을 가지며 배열된 것을 특징으로 하는 것일 수 있다.In this case, the plurality of carbon nanotube bundles 11 of the carbon nanotube sheet 10 may be characterized in that they are arranged with a certain directionality.

이때, 상기 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터(100)가 감긴 길이 방향에 해당하는 상기 중심 축(A)의 양의 방향과 상기 탄소나노튜브 번들들의 배열 방향이 이루는 각도를 롤링(rolling) 각(θ)이라고 하면, 상기 롤링 각(θ)은 -45° 내지 45°의 값을 갖는 것을 특징으로 하는 것일 수 있다.At this time, the angle formed by the positive direction of the central axis (A) corresponding to the longitudinal direction in which the carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter 100 is wound and the arrangement direction of the carbon nanotube bundles is a rolling angle (θ). ), the rolling angle θ may be characterized in that it has a value of -45° to 45°.

도 3은 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터(100)의 중심 축(A) 및 탄소나노튜브 번들(11)들의 배열 방향이 이루는 롤링 각(θ)을 개략적으로 나타낸 모식도이다.3 is a schematic diagram schematically illustrating a rolling angle θ formed between the central axis A of the carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter 100 and the arrangement direction of the carbon nanotube bundles 11 according to an embodiment of the present invention. am.

상기와 같이 탄소나노튜브 번들(11)들이 상기 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터(100)의 길이 방향과 소정의 각도를 이루도록 조절함으로써, 상기 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터(100)의 역학적 특성을 조절할 수 있다. 더욱 자세하게는, 상기와 같이 탄소나노튜브 번들(11)들이 소정의 롤링 각(θ)을 이루며 기울어져 롤링 됨으로써, 상기 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터(100)가 횡방향으로 작용하는 힘에 더 잘 견딜 수 있도록 조절될 수 있다. By adjusting the carbon nanotube bundles 11 to form a predetermined angle with the longitudinal direction of the carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter 100 as described above, the mechanical properties of the carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter 100 can be adjusted. can In more detail, as described above, the carbon nanotube bundles 11 are tilted to form a predetermined rolling angle θ, so that the carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter 100 responds better to the force acting in the lateral direction. It can be adjusted to withstand it.

이때, 상기 롤링 각(θ)은 -45° 내지 45°의 값을 갖는 것이 바람직하다.In this case, the rolling angle θ preferably has a value of -45° to 45°.

상기 롤링 각(θ)이 -45° 미만이거나 45° 초과의 값을 갖게 되면, 전계 방출 소자에서 상기 탄소나노튜브 번들(11)들이 전계 방출 소자의 길이 방향을 기준으로 너무 많이 기울어지게 되므로 탄소나노튜브 끝단으로부터의 전계방출 효과가 떨어지게 되어 바람직하지 않다.When the rolling angle θ is less than -45° or has a value greater than 45°, the carbon nanotube bundles 11 in the field emission device are inclined too much with respect to the longitudinal direction of the field emission device. It is undesirable because the field emission effect from the tube end is reduced.

따라서, 상기 롤링 각(θ)은 -45° 내지 45°의 값을 갖는 것이 바람직하다.Accordingly, the rolling angle θ preferably has a value of -45° to 45°.

상기 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤은, 길이(L)가 1 ㎛ 내지 1 m 인 것을 특징으로 할 수 있다.The carbon nanotube sheet roll may have a length (L) of 1 μm to 1 m.

전술한 종래의 이미터들은, 얇고 가느다란 탄소나노튜브 섬유 가닥으로 이루어지므로, 그 길이가 길어질수록 구조적 안정성이 떨어지게 되어 충분한 길이를 갖도록 형성될 수 없다는 문제점이 있었다.Since the above-mentioned conventional emitters are made of thin and slender carbon nanotube fiber strands, structural stability deteriorates as the length increases, and thus there is a problem in that they cannot be formed to have a sufficient length.

그러나, 본 발명의 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터는, 이미터를 제조하기 위한 탄소나노튜브 시트를 원하는 크기를 갖도록 자유롭게 제조 가능함으로써 원하는 길이의 이미터를 형성할 수 있으며, 또한 탄소나노튜브 섬유 가닥이 아닌 탄소나노튜브 시트가 롤링 된 형태로 구조적으로 안정하므로 충분히 긴 길이를 갖도록 형성될 수 있다.However, in the carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter of the present invention, the carbon nanotube sheet for producing the emitter can be freely manufactured to have a desired size, thereby forming an emitter of a desired length, and also the carbon nanotube fiber strands Since the carbon nanotube sheet is structurally stable in a rolled form, it can be formed to have a sufficiently long length.

상기 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤은, 단면 직경(D)이 1 ㎛ 내지 30 ㎝ 인 것을 특징으로 할 수 있다.The carbon nanotube sheet roll may have a cross-sectional diameter (D) of 1 μm to 30 cm.

전술한 바와 같이 종래의 이미터들은 탄소나노튜브 섬유 가닥으로 이루어지므로 충분한 단면 직경을 갖도록 제조되기 어려운 문제점이 있었다.As described above, since conventional emitters are made of carbon nanotube fiber strands, there is a problem in that it is difficult to manufacture to have a sufficient cross-sectional diameter.

그러나, 본 발명의 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터는, 탄소나노튜브 시트의 롤링 횟수를 조절함으로써 충분한 단면 직경을 갖도록 형성될 수 있다.However, the carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter of the present invention may be formed to have a sufficient cross-sectional diameter by controlling the number of rolling of the carbon nanotube sheet.

본 발명의 다른 실시예에 따른 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터를 설명한다. A carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described.

도 4는 본 발명의 다른 실시예에 따른 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터의 구조를 개략적으로 나타낸 모식도이다. 4 is a schematic diagram schematically showing the structure of a carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter according to another embodiment of the present invention.

도 4를 참조하면, 본 발명의 다른 실시예에 따른 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터(100)는, 탄소나노튜브 시트(10) 롤의 중앙부가 상단을 향해 꺾이어 형성된 뾰족한 선단(13)을 갖는 것을 특징으로 하고, 상기 선단(13)에서 전자가 방출되는 것을 특징으로 하는 것일 수 있다. Referring to FIG. 4 , the carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention has a pointed tip 13 formed by bending the central portion of the carbon nanotube sheet 10 roll toward the top. Characterized in that, it may be characterized in that electrons are emitted from the tip (13).

상기 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤이 꺾인 부분인 뾰족한 선단(13)은 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤의 측면, 즉 탄소나노튜브의 sidewall에 해당하는 부분이다. 탄소나노튜브의 tip과 sidewall은 일함수에서는 약간의 차이가 있으나, 열적 안정성에는 상당한 차이가 존재한다. 또한 탄소나노튜브의 tip은 전계강화효과(field enhancement factor)가 커서 전자가 방출되는 전압(turn-on voltage)이 sidewall에 비하여 낮기는 하나, 활성도가 높아 열에 의해 쉽게 분해되는 특성이 있다. 반면, 탄소나노튜브의 sidewall은 tip에 비하여 열적 안정성이 높으므로, 전계 방출 소자로서의 수명 특성에서 유리하다는 장점이 있다. 따라서, 상기와 같이 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터를 중앙부가 꺾인 형태로 형성하여 꺾인 부분인 뾰족한 선단이 위로 가도록 상기 기판상에 고정하여 사용함으로써, 탄소나노튜브의 sidewall의 장점을 활용하고 단점을 줄여 사용 가능하다. 이와 같이 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤을 꺾어서 이미터로 사용할 지의 여부는 사용하고자하는 전류 밀도 및 전압에 따라 선택 가능하다.The pointed end 13, which is a bent portion of the carbon nanotube sheet roll, is a side of the carbon nanotube sheet roll, that is, a portion corresponding to the sidewall of the carbon nanotube. Although the tip and sidewall of carbon nanotubes have a slight difference in work function, there is a significant difference in thermal stability. In addition, the tip of the carbon nanotube has a large field enhancement factor, so the electron emission voltage (turn-on voltage) is lower than that of the sidewall, but it has a characteristic that it is easily decomposed by heat because of its high activity. On the other hand, since the sidewall of the carbon nanotube has higher thermal stability than the tip, it has an advantage in terms of lifespan characteristics as a field emission device. Therefore, as described above, the carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter is formed in a bent form at the center and fixed on the substrate so that the sharp tip, which is the bent part, is facing up, so that the advantage of the sidewall of the carbon nanotube is utilized and the disadvantages are reduced. Available. Whether to use the carbon nanotube sheet roll by bending it as an emitter can be selected according to the current density and voltage to be used.

상기와 같은 구성의 특징으로 인하여, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따르면, 구조적으로 안정하며 우수한 전계방출 특성을 갖는 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터를 제공 가능한 효과가 있다.Due to the characteristics of the above configuration, according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter that is structurally stable and has excellent field emission characteristics.

본 발명의 또 다른 실시예에 따른 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터를 설명한다. A carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described.

도 5는 본 발명의 또 다른 실시예에 따른 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터의 구조를 개략적으로 나타낸 모식도이다.5 is a schematic diagram schematically showing the structure of a carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter according to another embodiment of the present invention.

도 5를 참조하면, 상기 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터(100)는, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터에, 상기 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤의 하부 표면을 감싸며 형성된 전도성 부재 결합부(20);를 더 포함하는 것을 특징으로 하는 것일 수 있다. Referring to FIG. 5 , the carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter 100 is a conductive member formed in the carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter according to an embodiment of the present invention, surrounding the lower surface of the carbon nanotube sheet roll. The coupling portion 20; may be characterized in that it further includes.

또는, 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터(100)는, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터에, 상기 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤의 상기 탄소나노튜브 시트(10)와 함께 감겨서 상기 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤의 하부 표면을 감싸며 형성된 전도성 부재 결합부(20);를 더 포함하는 것을 특징으로 하는 것일 수 있다.Alternatively, the carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter 100 is wound together with the carbon nanotube sheet 10 of the carbon nanotube sheet roll on the carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter according to an embodiment of the present invention. The carbon nanotube sheet roll may be characterized in that it further includes a conductive member coupling portion 20 formed while surrounding the lower surface.

이때, 상기 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터의 전체 높이 중 상기 전도성 부재 결합부(20)가 차지하는 높이(L2) 부분을 제외한 나머지 부분의 높이(L1) 및 상기 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터(100)의 전체 높이(L)는 1:5 내지 9:10의 길이 비를 갖는 것을 특징으로 하는 것일 수 있다.

전술한 종래의 발명에서도 이미터의 구조를 안정적으로 잡아주기 위한 전도성 홀더를 포함하는 구성은 개시된 바 있었다. 그러나, 전술한 바와 같이, 종래의 이미터들은 탄소나노튜브 섬유 가닥으로 이루어진 구조를 가지므로 상기 전도성 홀더로부터 노출되는 부분의 길이가 길어질수록 구조적 안정성이 떨어져 충분한 길이를 갖도록 형성할 수 없다는 문제점이 있었다.Even in the above-mentioned conventional invention, a configuration including a conductive holder for stably holding the structure of the emitter has been disclosed. However, as described above, since the conventional emitters have a structure made of carbon nanotube fiber strands, as the length of the portion exposed from the conductive holder increases, the structural stability deteriorates, so there was a problem that it could not be formed to have a sufficient length. .

그러나 본 발명은 서로 공유결합으로 연결된 탄소나노튜브 번들로 구성되는 탄소나노튜브 시트를 롤 형태로 형성하여 구조적으로 안정한 이미터를 구성함으로써, 상기 전도성 부재 결합부로부터 노출되는 부분의 길이가 전체 길이 대비 1:5 내지 9:10의 충분한 길이 비율을 갖도록 형성 가능한 특징을 갖는다.However, in the present invention, a carbon nanotube sheet composed of a carbon nanotube bundle connected to each other by a covalent bond is formed in a roll shape to constitute a structurally stable emitter, so that the length of the portion exposed from the conductive member coupling portion is greater than the overall length. It has features that can be formed to have a sufficient length ratio of 1:5 to 9:10.

도 7을 참조하면, 상기 탄소나노튜브 시트를 준비하는 단계(S100)에서는, 탄소나노튜브를 집합체를 권취하여 상기 탄소나노튜브 번들(11)들이 일정한 방향을 갖도록 탄소나노튜브 시트(10)를 제조하는 단계; 및 상기 형성된 탄소나노튜브 시트(10)를 원하는 소정의 길이만큼 절취하여 탄소나노튜브 시트를 준비하는 단계;를 포함할 수 있다.Referring to FIG. 7 , in the step of preparing the carbon nanotube sheet ( S100 ), the carbon nanotube is wound on the aggregate so that the carbon nanotube bundles 11 have a constant direction to prepare the carbon nanotube sheet 10 . to do; and preparing a carbon nanotube sheet by cutting the formed carbon nanotube sheet 10 by a desired predetermined length.

더욱 자세하게는, 먼저 상기 탄소나노튜브 시트를 합성하기 위하여, 탄소 공급원, 촉매 및 조촉매로 구성된 원료 용액을 이송 가스와 함께 고온의 합성로 내부로 공급하면서 합성할 수 있다. 상기 탄소 공급원은 아세톤, 에탄올 및 부탄올과 같은 유기용매를 주로 사용하며, 촉매로 페로세인(Ferrocene) 및 니켈로센(Nicklocene)과 같은 메탈로세인(Metallocene)을 사용하고, 조촉매로는 싸이오펜(Thiophene)이나 이황화탄소(CS2) 등을 사용할 수 있다. 상기 탄소나노튜브를 합성하기 위한 원료 용액 조성은 제조하고자하는 탄소나노튜브에 따라 달라질 수 있다. 일반적으로 페로세인은 0.1 내지 4.0wt%, 싸이오펜은 0.05 내지 3.0wt% 비율로 조성될 수 있다. 함께 투입되는 이송가스는 수소 또는 질소 가스를 300 내지 4,000sccm, 전기로의 온도는 800 내지 1500도의 범위에서 합성될 수 있다. 이러한 조건에서 합성된 탄소나노튜브 집합체를 연속적으로 권취하여 탄소나노튜브 번들들이 일정한 방향성을 갖는 탄소나노튜브 시트를 제조할 수 있다. More specifically, in order to first synthesize the carbon nanotube sheet, a raw material solution composed of a carbon source, a catalyst, and a cocatalyst may be synthesized while being supplied into a high-temperature synthesis furnace together with a transport gas. As the carbon source, an organic solvent such as acetone, ethanol and butanol is mainly used, and metallocene such as ferrocene and nickellocene is used as a catalyst, and thiophene is used as a cocatalyst (Thiophene) or carbon disulfide (CS2) can be used. The composition of the raw material solution for synthesizing the carbon nanotubes may vary depending on the carbon nanotubes to be manufactured. In general, ferrocein may be in a ratio of 0.1 to 4.0 wt%, and thiophene in a ratio of 0.05 to 3.0 wt%. The transport gas fed together is hydrogen or nitrogen gas, 300 to 4,000 sccm, and the temperature of the electric furnace may be synthesized in the range of 800 to 1500 degrees. By continuously winding the carbon nanotube aggregate synthesized under these conditions, it is possible to prepare a carbon nanotube sheet in which the carbon nanotube bundles have a certain directionality.

상기 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터를 제조하는 단계(S200)에서는, 상기 탄소나노튜브 번들의 배향 방향과 상기 중심축이 -45° 내지 45°의 각도를 이루도록 제조하는 것을 특징으로 하는 것일 수 있다.In the step (S200) of manufacturing the carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter, the orientation direction of the carbon nanotube bundle and the central axis may be manufactured to form an angle of -45° to 45°.

상기와 같이 탄소나노튜브 번들이 권취된 권취 방향이 상기 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터의 중심축과 소정의 각도를 이루도록 조절하여 제조함으로써, 상기 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터의 역학적 특성을 조절할 수 있다. 더욱 자세하게는, 상기와 같이 탄소나노튜브 번들들이 소정의 롤링 각을 이루며 기울어져 롤링 됨으로써, 상기 탄소나노튜브 시트 롤 이미터가 횡방향으로 작용하는 힘에 더 잘 견딜 수 있도록 조절될 수 있다. By adjusting the winding direction in which the carbon nanotube bundle is wound to form a predetermined angle with the central axis of the carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter as described above, the mechanical properties of the carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter can be adjusted. . More specifically, as described above, the carbon nanotube bundles are tilted and rolled at a predetermined rolling angle, so that the carbon nanotube sheet roll emitter can be adjusted to better withstand the force acting in the lateral direction.

이때, 상기 각도는 -45° 내지 45°의 값을 갖는 것이 바람직하다.In this case, the angle preferably has a value of -45° to 45°.

상기 각도가 -45° 미만이거나 45° 초과의 값을 갖게 되면, 전계 방출 소자에서 상기 탄소나노튜브 번들들이 길이 방향을 기준으로 너무 많이 기울어지게 되므로 탄소나노튜브 끝단으로부터의 전계방출 효과가 떨어지게 되어 바람직하지 않다.When the angle is less than -45° or has a value greater than 45°, the carbon nanotube bundles in the field emission device are inclined too much in the longitudinal direction, so that the field emission effect from the end of the carbon nanotube is reduced. don't

따라서, 상기 각도는 -45° 내지 45°의 값을 갖는 것이 바람직하다.Accordingly, the angle preferably has a value of -45° to 45°.
