The present invention relates to an improved technique of an image display apparatus and a method for manufacturing the image display apparatus. The image display apparatus of the present invention is composed of a rear plate and a face plate disposed opposite to each other, the rear plate being equipped with a plurality of electron-emitting devices, each provided with a pair of electrodes and an electroconductive film including an electron-emitting region disposed between the electrodes, the face plate being equipped with a phosphor for displaying an image by being irradiated by electrons from the electron-emitting devices and a film exposed on a surface of the phosphor, the film comprising a metal or a metal compound material. The improved respects are that a film comprising the same metal or the same metal compound material as the metal or the metal compound material constituting the film exposed on the surface of the phosphor, the film formed on each of the electroconductive films of the plurality of electron-emitting devices to have a thickness in a range from 0.2 nm to 4.5 nm. Thereby, it is possible to provide an image display apparatus capable of keeping the homogeneity of brightness over a long period.
摘要:
By applying a drive voltage Vf [V] between first and second conductive films, when electrons are emitted by the first conductive film, an equipotential line of 0.5 Vf [V] is inclined toward the first conductive film, rather than toward the second conductive film, in the vicinity of the electron emitting portion of the first conductive film, in a cross section extending across the electron emitting portion and the portion of the second conductive film located nearest the electron emitting portion. The present invention improves electron emission efficiency.

摘要:
A method of manufacturing an electron-emitting device includes a first step of forming a conductive film on an insulating layer having an upper surface and a side surface connected to the upper surface via a corner portion so as to extend from the side surface to the upper surface and cover at least a part of the corner portion, and a second step of etching the conductive film. At the first step, the conductive film is formed so that film density of a portion on the side surface of the insulating layer becomes lower than film density of a portion on the corner portion of the insulating layer.
摘要:
The present invention provides an electron-emitting device which does not need a fresh electrode to be added thereto, has excellent convergence and shows little change of a discharged electric current for short and long periods of time, and an image display apparatus using the device. The electron-emitting device includes at least a pair of device electrodes formed on an insulating substrate, and a plurality of electroconductive films which are formed so as to connect the device electrodes to each other and have gaps therein, wherein the surface of a region which is at least adjacent to the gap between the electroconductive films and is not covered with the electroconductive film is higher than the surface of the electroconductive film.
