    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce instability in formation or activation processes by setting the softening point of the base body of a substrate, having a number of electron emitting elements arranged thereon and having a pair of element electrodes and a conductive thin film having an electron emission part to a specified temperature or higher. SOLUTION: A base body 1 of this electron source substrate has a softening point of 750 deg.C or higher, and borosilicate glass, soda lime glass, zinc borosilicate glass, or alumino borosilicate glass is used therefor, so that softening of a substrate near an electron emission part 5 and the deformation of the electron emission part are thereby suppressed. A surface conductive type electron emitting element is desirably used as the electron emitting element. A deposit composed mainly of carbon or a carbon compound and a thin film mainly composed of Pd or PdO are desirably used as an electron emission part 5 and a conductive thin film 4, respectively. A plurality of electron emitting elements is arranged in parallel on the substrate, and element electrodes are connected to mutually insulated X-direction and Y-direction metal wirings.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent peeling caused by the weak adhesiveness between metal wires and a substrate and to prevent the characteristic deterioration of element electrodes caused by the diffusion of the metal wires along the boundary face between the element electrodes and the substrate by forming the element electrodes with a conductive oxide. SOLUTION: An inexpensive soda lime glass substrate 1 contains sodium, and it is manufactured by the float method for mass production. A sodium diffusion preventing layer 9 mainly made of silica is provided on the substrate 1 to prevent the diffusion of sodium into an electron emitting element from the substrate 1 and to prevent the heat by the current of the electron emitting element from being transferred to the substrate 1. A conductive oxide, which has stable conductivity after a heat treatment process and prevents the thermal diffusion of the constituting metal of wires 6, 7, is used for opposite element electrodes 2, 3 on the preventing layer 9. The film thickness is set to about tens nm to apply sufficient conductivity, and the step coverage of a conductive thin film 4 is improved. A tin oxide or a composite oxide of the tin oxide and an indium oxide is preferably used as the conductive oxide.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent deterioration due to heat and the like of a substrate and to keep satisfactory image quality over a long period by arranging a number of electron emissive elements, respectively comprising a pair of elemental electrodes formed on a base via a surface coating layer, and a conductive thin film having an electron emissive portion, and specifying the water content in the surface coating layer below a predetermined value. SOLUTION: An electron source substrate is formed by a base 1, elemental electrodes 2, 3, a conductive thin film 4, an electron emissive portion 5, a interlayer insulating layer 9 and a surface coating layer 9. The water content in the surface coating layer 9 is preferably below 50 ppm. The water content includes not only absorbed water molecules but a silanol group (Si-O-H) and an OH group terminating an outermost surface of the surface coating layer 9 and existing in the surface coating layer 9. The water content here means the weight ratio of the water molecule (H2O) and OH group with respect to the total composition of the surface coating layer 9.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To realize a uniform orientation state and to make a contrast high and display characteristic excellent by setting the directions of rubbing treatments parallel with each other between a pair of upper and lower substrates so as to twist within the specific angle from the same direction. CONSTITUTION:This ferroelectric liquid crystal element is constituted by clamping ferroelectric liquid crystals which exhibit two stable states in an oriented state and increase the apparent tilt angle by impressing AC electric fields thereto between upper and lower substrates having electrodes and orientation control films subjected to a rubbing treatment. The directions of the rubbing treatments are so set as to be parallel with each other between the upper and lower substrates and to twist at

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To make display of a high grade with good reproducibility by suppressing the generation of hysteresis. CONSTITUTION:This liquid crystal element is constituted by providing the boundary between a liquid crystal layer 4 and an oriented layer 3 for orienting the liquid crystal layer 4 with an adsorptive layer 5 consisting of neutral molecules and/or ionic molecules. This process for production consists in forming the adsorptive layer 5 on the oriented layer 3 prior to injection of the liquid crystal material for this purpose. As a result, the trap levels between the liquid crystal and the oriented layer known to be the cause for the hysteresis are filled to prevent the formation of asymmetric boundary electric fields, by which the hysteresis is suppressed and the display reproducibility is improved.
