A field emission device comprising a first substrate, a second substrate spaced apart from the first substrate, a first metal layer on the first substrate, the first metal layer including a number of first metal lines, a second metal layer over the first metal layer, the second metal layer including a number of second metal lines, emitters over the first metal layer, the emitters being configured to emit electrons toward the second substrate, a luminescent layer between the first substrate and the second substrate, the luminescent layer being configured to provide light when the electrons impinge thereon, and a third metal layer between the second substrate and the luminescent layer, the third metal layer being configured to reflect the light from the luminescent layer toward the first substrate, wherein the first metal lines are substantially parallel to the second metal lines.
