Abstract:
In a field emission-type electron source (10), a strong field drift layer (6) and a surface electrode (7) consisting of a gold thin film are provided on an n-type silicon substrate (1). An ohmic electrode (2) is provided on the back surface of the n-type silicon substrate (1). A direct current voltage is applied so that the surface electrode (7) becomes positive in potential relevant to the ohmic electrode (2). In this manner, electrons injected from the ohmic electrode (2) into the strong field drift layer (6) via the n-type silicon substrate (6) drift in the strong field drift layer (6), and is emitted to the outside via the surface electrode (7). The strong field drift layer (6) has: a number of semiconductor nanocrystals (63) of nano-meter order formed partly of a semiconductor layer configuring the strong field drift layer (6); and a number of insulating films (64) each of which is formed on the surface of each of the semiconductor nanocrystals (63) and each having film thickness to an extent such that an electron tunneling phenomenon occurs.

In this display device, first and second groups of external repeating terminals for the first and second electrodes are collectively provided side by side in a part of the peripheral region.
Abstract:
Provided is a piezoelectric-film-type electron emitter which enables suppression of reduction of electron emission quantity due to repeated use thereof, and which exhibits high durability. The electron emitter includes a substrate (11); an emitter section (12) formed of a dielectric material; a first electrode (14) formed on the top surface of the emitter section; and a second electrode (16) formed on the bottom surface of the emitter section. The dielectric material forming the emitter section contains a dielectric composition having an electric-field-induced strain (i.e., percent deformation under application of an electric field of 4 kV/mm, as measured in a direction perpendicular to the electric field) of 0.07% or less.

Abstract:
An upper wiring electrode (16) serving as a power feed line to an upper electrode (13) of a thin-film type electron source array is underlaid with a second layer insulation layer (15) to prevent a short circuit. The electron emission part is limited by the second layer insulation layer (15) to cover defects unevenly distributed over the boundary between an electron acceleration layer (12) and a first layer insulation layer (14), so that insulation breakdown with time is prevented.
