  • Publication number: 20080211384
    Abstract: Constituent elements of a glass frit for fixing spacers propagate along the spacers and migrate to electron emitters to deteriorate the electron emitters, and thereby silhouetting shadows of the spacers on a screen are suppressed. In an image display which is equipped with a rear substrate provided on its inner surface with electron emitters, a front substrate facing the rear substrate, provided on its inner surface with a phosphor pattern having an array corresponding to the electron emitters, and having an outer surface serving as a display surface, and in which a gap between the substrates is held by glass-made spacers, propagation along the spacers and migration to the side of the electron emitters of the constituent elements of the glass frit for fixing spacers is prevented by fixing oxide crystal particles on the spacer surface, or by fixing at least a part of the spacer to the front panel by an adhesive layer comprising a conductive glass a part of which is crystallized.
