  • Publication number: 20090072695
    Abstract: This is to provide an image display device using a spacer 103 which can reduce an influence which charge has on an electron orbit greatly without depending on electroconductivity of the spacer 103 itself, and a characteristic of a material by making effectual charge amount zero by controlling positive and negative charge distributions generated on a surface of the spacer 103. This is an image display device using a spacer 103 on a main surface of which concavo-convex structure 106 is formed, the spacer 103 having the concavo-convex structure 106 which can cancel mutually positive charge in a convex portion of the concavo-convex structure 106, and negative charge in a concave portion.

  • Patent number: 7309270
    Abstract: A spacer on which static electricity is restricted and an electron beam apparatus in which the spacer is provided. In the electron beam apparatus comprising an electron source provided with electron emission devices, a face plate provided with anodes and spacers installed between the electron source and the face plate, unevenness is formed on the surface of the spacer substrate, and further a thin film which has a smaller thickness than a roughness. This makes possible the restriction of incident angle multiplication coefficient for the primary electrons whose energy is lower than the second cross-point energy of a resistive film. The electron beam apparatus provided with the above spacer is excellent in display definition and long-term reliability since the display of light emission points and the creeping discharge accompanying the static electricity can be restricted due to the spacer.

  • Patent number: 7281964
    Abstract: An electron beam apparatus including a hermetic container provided with an electron source, in which, when a first member is arranged in the hermetic container, at least part of the first member is coated with a film, and the film is configured in such a manner that it includes two regions, a first region and a second region different in electron density from the first region and the second region forms a network in the first region. This three-dimensional network structure allows a member being charged to be preferably controlled. Thereby, it is possible to control the effects of a member being charged which is used in an electron beam apparatus.

  • Patent number: 7180233
    Abstract: An electron beam emitting apparatus has a first plate with an electron-emitting device 15, and an electrode 8 opposed to the first plate, and the electrode 8 is applied a potential to accelerate electrons emitted from the electron-emitting device 15. In the electron beam emitting apparatus, a potential defining region 9 is provided a surface of the first plate on the electrode 8 side and a first potential defining region forming the potential defining region 9 is provided in a projective area of the electrode 8 onto the potential defining region 9; and, where d represents a distance between the electrode 8 and the potential defining region 9, an additional potential defining region is defined in the range of 0.83d in all directions parallel to the first plate from the edge of the projective area of the electrode 8 onto the potential defining region 9. This stabilizes trajectories of electrons and permits an excellent image to be formed without deviation of light emission positions.
