摘要:
A display device consisting of an electron-emitting device which is a laminate of an insulating layer and a pair of opposing electrodes formed on a planar substrate. A portion of the insulating layer is between the electrodes and a portion containing an electron emitting region in between one electrode and the substrate. Electrons are emitted from the electron emission region by a voltage to the electrodes, thereby stimulating a phosphorous to emitting light.

An electron source emits electrons as a function of input signals. The electron source includes a substrate, a matrix of wires having m row wires and n column wires laid on the substrate with an insulator layer interposed therebetween, and a plurality of surface-conduction electron-emitting devices each having a pair of electrodes and a thin film including an electron emitting region and arranged between the electrodes. The electron-emitting devices are so arranged as to form a matrix with the electrodes connected to the respective row and column wires. The electron source further includes a selector for selecting a row of the plurality of surface-conduction electron-emitting devices, and a modulator for generating modulation signals according to input signals and applying them to the surface-conduction electron-emitting devices selected by the selector.

A color display device has an evacuated vessel accommodating at least an electron-beam generating source in which a plurality of surface-conduction electron emitting devices are arrayed on a substrate, and phosphors for the three primary colors red, green and blue for emitting light in response to being irradiated with electron beams from the electron-beam generating source. A modulator is provided to modulate the electron beams, which irradiate the phosphors, based upon an image signal, the modulator having .gamma.-corrector for subjecting the image signal to a gamma correction. The modulator modulates the electron beams based upon the image signal corrected in advance by the .gamma.-corrector.

In an electron source comprising a base plate and an electron emitting element disposed on the base plate, the electron emitting element includes a plurality of electron emitting portions electrically connected in parallel, the electrical connection being made through a thermally cut-off member. After forming the plurality of electron emitting portions, their electron emission characteristics are checked and, for that electron emitting portion on which the electron emission characteristic has been found not normal, the electrical connection is cut off. Alternatively, the electron emitting element includes an electron emitting portion connected to a voltage supply through a thermally cut-off member, and an electron emitting portion forming film which includes a thermally connecting member. In this case, after cutting off the electrical connection in that electron emitting portion on which the electron emission characteristic has been found not normal, the electron emitting portion forming film is connected to the voltage supply for forming another electron emitting portion in the film. With such an electron source and an image forming device using the electron source, a production yield and image quality are improved.

An electron-emitting device has a pair of device electrodes and an electroconductive thin film including an electron emitting region arranged between the electrodes. The device is manufactured via an activation process for increasing the emission current of the device. The activation process includes steps of a) applying a voltage (Vact) to the electroconductive thin film having a gap section under initial conditions, b) detecting the electric performance of the electroconductive thin film and c) modifying, if necessary, the initial conditions as a function of the detected electric performance of the electroconductive thin film.
