    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance electron emission efficiency, realize high fineness, lower driving voltage, stabilize characteristics, and reduce dispersion of characteristics by laminating a lower electrode, an insulating layer having pores, and an upper electrode on a substrate in order, and forming carbon deposits in the pores. SOLUTION: An insulating layer having pores 5 formed by anodization is formed on a lower electrode 2, and carbon is formed within the pore 5. When voltage is applied between the lower electrode 2 and an upper electrode 4 so as to raise the potential of the upper electrode 4, electrons injected from the lower electrode 2 are tunneled in the vacuum and emitted. Since the distance of a gap between carbon formed on the lower electrode 2 and the upper electrode 2 is almost constant, electron emission characteristics with low dispersion can be obtained. By using either one of graphite and amorphous carbon as an electron emitter grown from the lower electrode side, heat resistance is increased, and stable electron emitting characteristics are obtained in high reproducibility.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To equalize the quantity of electron beams emitted from each electron emitting element so as to perform a high-quality image display by varying the thickness of the carbonic film made on a conductive film, according to the wiring position of the electron emitting element, in each electron emitting element of an image forming device. SOLUTION: An element electrode material is stacked on a substrate 1, and then element electrode 4 and 5 are made on the face, and further organic metallic solution is applied and let alone, thus the element electrodes 4 and 5 are connected by the organic metallic film. Next, a conductive film 3 is made by heating and baking the organic metallic film is heated and baked, and then, patterning it. Furthermore, an electron emitter 2 is made in the conductive film 3 by applying currents between the element electrodes 4 and 5, and electron emitting elements obtained this way are connected electrically in plural numbers to form an image forming device. At this time, carbonic films 5, with different thickness, according to the wiring position of each element, are made on the conductive film 3 of each electron emitting element. Hereby, the quantity of electron beams emitted from each element can be equalized, and a high-grade image display can be obtained.

The diameter of the bar 107 is a little smaller than that of the through hole 109, and the end on the side opposite the through hole is shaped in an overhung from the outside diameter of the pipe. In this condition, the whole construction is heated to the frit baking temp., and the insert bar 107 is removed in the condition that the pipe 4 is attached to the back board 101, and thus the pipe fixing process is completed. At this time, a frame to which the back board 101 and a front base board 102 as structural members is also attached sealedly with frit glass 108, and an image display device in the form of a vacuum vessel is achieved.
