    Abstract: Provided is an X-ray tube including a cathode structure, an anode spaced apart from the cathode structure, a spacer structure disposed between the cathode structure and the anode, and an external power supply connected to each of the cathode structure, the anode, and the spacer structure. Here, the spacer structure includes a first spacer disposed adjacent to the cathode structure and a second spacer disposed on the first spacer and disposed adjacent to the anode. The first spacer includes a first portion adjacent to the cathode structure and a second portion adjacent to a contact point of the first spacer and the second spacer. The second spacer includes a third portion adjacent to the contact point and a fourth portion adjacent to the anode. Each of the first portion and the third portion has a volume resistivity less than that of the second portion.

    Abstract: An electron emission structure according to embodiments of the inventive concept includes a cathode electrode and electron emission yarns each having a yarn shape and disposed in the cathode electrode. Here, the cathode electrode includes a plurality of first conductive panels spaced apart from each other in a first direction and at least one second conductive panel that crosses the first conductive panels in the first direction. Also, each of the first conductive panels includes at least one groove at an upper portion thereof. The second conductive panel is inserted to the groove of each of the first conductive panels. Each of the electron emission yarns is disposed between the first conductive panels. Each of the electron emission yarns contacts the second conductive panel. Each of the electron emission yarns is mechanically fixed and vertically aligned as well as arranged regularly by the second conductive panel and one pair of adjacent first conductive panels of the first conductive panels.
