Abstract: A field emission display device (1) includes a cathode plate (20), a resistive buffer (30) in contact with the cathode plate, a plurality of electron emitters (40) formed on the buffer, and an anode plate (50) spaced from the electron emitters. Each electron emitter includes a rod-shaped first part (401) and a conical second part (402). The buffer and first parts are made from silicon nitride. The combined buffer and first parts has a gradient distribution of electrical resistivity such that highest electrical resistivity is nearest the cathode plate and lowest electrical resistivity is nearest the anode plate. The second parts are made from niobium. When emitting voltage is applied between the cathode and anode plates, electrons emitted from the electron emitters traverse an interspace region and are received by the anode plate. Because of the gradient distribution of electrical resistivity, only a very low emitting voltage is needed.

Abstract: To provide a voltage application structure that is electrically stable and a display apparatus using the voltage application structure, while reducing the size, thickness, and cost of the display apparatus. A through hole structure is formed in the vicinity of a cylindrical hole established in a rear plate in advance. The through hole structure is electrically connected to lead wiring led to the outside from an anode electrode through a conductive elastic structure. A voltage to the anode electrode is applied to the through hole structure on the atmosphere side, and thus the voltage is applied to the anode electrode through the vacuum side of the through hole structure, the elastic structure, and the lead wiring. Vacuum hermeticity is maintained by filling the hole of the through hole structure with frit. Also, low-voltage wiring that is connected to the ground and regulates a potential is arranged around the through hole structure.

The phosphor layer has a host crystal lattice, a first dopant and a second dopant. The first dopant cooperates with the host crystal lattice to cause light emission when a voltage is applied across the pair of electrodes, and the second dopant further distributes the first dopant in the host crystal lattice to increase light emission from the phosphor layer.

Abstract: A display device using an organic light emitting element is provided which is structured so as to ensure excellent display performance by avoiding dot defect and improve long-term reliability. The distance between an organic light emitting element and a sealing substrate is controlled using the top of a bank that is placed in a pixel portion and the top of an insulating film that is placed in a driving circuit portion. As a result, a gap is provided between the organic light emitting element and the sealing substrate and a damage to the organic light emitting element can be avoided. Furthermore, the sealing substrate can be as close to an element substrate as possible, thereby keeping the amount of moisture that enters the display device from its sides small.
