Abstract:
An electron source has a plurality of electron-emitting devices, a plurality of scanning wirings and a plurality of modulation wirings which connect the plurality of electron-emitting devices into a matrix pattern, a scanning wiring connecting electrode which connects the electron-emitting device and the scanning wiring, a modulation wiring connecting electrode which connects the electron-emitting device and the modulation wiring, and a bypass wiring which is insulated from the scanning wiring and the modulation wiring and is arranged in parallel with the scanning wiring or the modulation wiring. The connecting electrode of any one of the scanning wiring connecting electrode and the modulation wiring connecting electrode, which is closer to the bypass wiring, has an overcurrent suppressing portion which suppresses flowing of a certain or more electric current to the connecting electrode.

Abstract:
A display having hot electron type electron sources displaying an image by a line sequential scanning scheme is provided to prevent poor brightness uniformity along scan lines. The hot electron type electron source is provided with a top electrode bus line serving as a scan line and a bottom electrode bus line serving as a data line. The top electrode bus line has a sheet resistance lower than that of the bottom electrode. The wire sheet resistance of the scam line can be reduced to several m/square. When forming a 40 inch large screen FED using the hot electron type electron sources, a voltage drop amount produced in the scan line can be suppressed below an allowable range. As a result, high quality image without poor brightness uniformity can be obtained.

Abstract:
There is provided a field emission electron source at a low cost in which electrons can be emitted with a high stability and a high efficiency and a method of producing the same. In the field emission electron source, a strong electric field drift part 106 is formed on the n-type silicon substrate on the principal surface thereof and a surface electrode 107 made of a gold thin film is formed on the strong electric field drift part 106. And the ohmic electrode 2 is formed on the back surface of the n-type silicon substrate 101. In this field emission electron source 110, when the surface electrode 107 is disposed in the vacuum and a DC voltage is applied to the surface electrode 107 which is of a positive polarity with respect to the n-type silicon substrate 101 (ohmic electrode 2), electrons injected from the n-type silicon substrate 101 are drifted in the strong electric field drift part 106 and emitted through the surface electrode 107. The strong electric field drift part 106 comprises a drift region 161 which has a cross section in the structure of mesh at right angles to the direction of thickness of the n-type silicon substrate 1, which is an electrically conductive substrate, and a heat radiation region 162 which is filled in the voids of the mesh and has a heat conduction higher than that of the drift region 161.
