Abstract
A process for fabricating a fiber-based display includes drawing fiber onto a cylindrical drum, removing the fibers from the drum to form an array of fibers, and laying at least one array of fibers removed from the drum between two plates to form a fiber-based display panel. The cross-sectional shape of the fibers in the fiber arrays are suitable for use in a flat panel display, such as plasma emissive displays, plasma addressed liquid crystal displays, and field emissive displays.
