A thickness of the higher phosphate concentration layer is suppressed to 0.5 ?m or less. More preferably, the spacer has a water resistant conductive passivation layer formed on its surface. This suppresses the thickness of the higher phosphate concentration layer to a thinner level, so that the spacer is less likely to be charged thus reducing the deflection amount of electron beam. An image display device of the present invention using above spacer can apply a higher voltage to the anode substrate, thus increasing the image quality.
