Vertical　graphene　field　emission　cathodes　were　fabricated　using　screen-printing　and　the　following　selective　photoetching　techniques.　Excellent　field　emission　properties　of　the　screen-printed　vertical　graphene　film　were　obtained　with　low　turn　on　field,　high　maximum　current　density,　and　large　field　enhancement　factor.　The　organic　layer　anchoring　the　vertical　graphene　sheets　acted　as　negative　feedback　layer,　which　contributed　to　the　high　uniformity　and　stability　of　the　field　emission　device.　The　results　pave　the　low-cost　way　for　applications　of　graphenes　in　large-scale　field　emission　devices.　©　2013　Elsevier　Ltd.　All　rights　reserved.
