Abstract: An electron-emitting device has a pair of device electrodes formed on a substrate, an electroconductive film connecting the device electrodes and an electron-emitting region formed in the electroconductive film. The electron-emitting device is manufactured by (1) applying an ink containing the material for producing the electroconductive film to a predetermined position of the substrate in the form of one or more than one drops by means an ink-jet apparatus, (2) drying and/or baking the applied drop(s) to turn the drop(s) into an electroconductive thin film and (3) applying a voltage to the pair of device electrodes to flow an electric current through the electroconductive film and produce an electron-emitting region. Steps (1) and (2) are so conducted that the electroconductive film formed by steps (1) and (2) have a latent image apt to produce an electron-emitting region by the Joule's heat generated by step (3).

Abstract: In forming a thin film pattern, first a seed material film is formed on a substrate and then exposed using electron beam lithography, for example, in the shape of the pattern. The latent image is then removed and an oriented material is deposited on one of the seed material and the substrtate, which have different hydrophilicity properties, to form the pattern. The oriented film is formed by an LB film forming method, in one example, and in another example the LB film material is a cresol novolak resin having a proportion of p-cresol novolak to m-cresol novolak of at least 20%.
