Abstract: An electron emission apparatus effectively suppresses the adverse effect of electric discharges that can take place between the oppositely disposed electrodes of the apparatus to which a high voltage is applied by dividing the electrode adapted to have a higher electric potential into segments in order to reduce the electrostatic capacitance between the electrodes. In the case of an electron emission apparatus comprising electron-emitting devices, a plurality of electron-emitting devices are disposed such that the direction along which those that can be driven simultaneously are arranged is not parallel with the direction along which the electrode is divided into the electrode segments in order to reduce the variable range of the electric current that can flow in the segments.

Abstract: It is an object of this invention to provide an electron generating apparatus which eliminates, with a simple process, variations in electron-emitting characteristics of electron sources caused by various factors, a method of adjusting the characteristics of the electron generating apparatus, a method of manufacturing the electron generating apparatus, and an image forming apparatus using the electron generating apparatus. Characteristic measuring voltages are applied from pulse generators (6, 7) to each surface-conduction emission device of a display panel (1), so that the electron-emitting characteristics are measured by a current detector (12). A pulse peak value setting circuit (8) is controlled to output a voltage signal having a peak value determined in the above manner, and characteristic shift voltages are applied from the pulse generators (6, 7) to the surface-conduction emission device. With this process, the electron-emitting characteristics of the surface-conduction emission devices are equalized. The characteristic shift voltage is higher than the characteristic measuring voltage, and the characteristic measuring voltage is higher than a driving voltage.
