1. A method of fabricating a pixel of a triode pixel display cathode comprising the steps of:
- forming a conductive stripe on a face of a substrate;
forming a layer of insulator on the conductive stripe;
forming a layer of conductor on the insulator layer;
patterning and etching the layer of insulator and the layer of conductor to form a plurality of apertures exposing portions of the conductive stripe;
etching through the apertures to undercut portions of the layer of insulator forming a portion of a sidewall of each of the apertures; and
forming regions of amorphic diamond on the exposed portions of the conductive stripe.
