Abstract: A structure suitable for partial or full use in a spacer (24) of a flat-panel display has a porous face (54). The structure may be formed with multiple aggregates (100) of coated particles (102) bonded together in an open manner to form pores (58). A coating (88) consisting primarily of carbon and having a highly uniform thickness may extend into pores of a porous body (46). The coating can be created by removing non-carbon material from carbon-containing species provided along the pores. A solid porous film (82) whose thickness is normally no more than 20 &mgr;m has a resistivity of 108-1014 ohm-cm. A spacer for a flat-panel display contains a support body (80) and an overlying, normally porous, layer (82) whose resistivity is greater parallel to a face of the support body than perpendicular to the body's face.

Abstract: Spacers used in a picture display device are formed of a sintered product having a structure in which at least one kind of metal selected from the group consisting of Si, Zn, Al, Sn, Cu and Mg is dispersed in a glass. In the picture display device using spacers, therefore, the spacers are effectively prevented from being electrically charged and, besides, trouble such as distortion in the displayed picture caused by the electric charge in the spacers is effectively prevented, too. In producing the spacers by firing, further, the volume expands due to the oxidation of the metal component, whereby shrinkage due to firing is effectively relaxed, making it possible to produce the spacers maintaining a high dimensional precision. Besides, the spacers are effectively prevented from being deformed by the shrinkage caused by firing.
