Abstract: An electron source device includes a porous layer (for example, porous alumina layer) which is composed of an insulator and has many microscopic holes provided in a direction perpendicular to a main surface, and first and second conductor layers placed on both sides of the porous layer, and is characterized in that the current density I/S is 1 µA/cm 2 or higher when a direct-current voltage is applied between the second conductor layer and the fist conductor layer while using the second conductor layer as an anode. In this case, S represents the overlapping area of the first conductor layer, the second conductor layer and the porous layer. Consequently, an electron source device having a high electron emission ability and a long life even when the degree of vacuum is low can be obtained at low cost, and hence, a display having a high luminous efficiency and high reliability can be realized.
