Abstract: A flat panel display device includes a backplate (4) and a transparent front face (6) delimiting an hermetically sealed vacuum space and an array (9) of selectively actuable electron-emitting cold cathodes disposed adjacent to, or on the backplate. A stratum (16) including an electron-multiplier (18) is placed in close proximity to the array of cold cathodes. The device also includes a luminescing surface (22) capable of emitting light upon being impinged upon by a pulse of electron beam emerging from the electronic multiplier. One embodiment includes an electron multiplier having an amorphous structure and cold cathodes of the metal-insulator-metal tunnelling type.
