Abstract: Although sintered wire with lower resistance was preferable as a scan line and a signal line in conventional art in order to make a voltage drop small, there was a problem in electric connection with an electrode which constructs a cathode. In the present invention, a cathode which has an electron-emitting region 16 on a substrate 10 is constructed of a base electrode 11, a top electrode 13, and a protective insulating film 14 sandwiched by these electrodes, the base electrode 11 becomes a signal line, and sintered wire 18, used as a scan line, and the top electrode 13 are connected with an sub-electrode 17. The sub-electrode 17 includes metal included in the sintered wire 18, and metal included in the top electrode 13.

Abstract: An upper bus electrode is formed as a laminated wire of a metal film lower layer, a metal film intermediate layer and a metal film upper layer. Al lower in electrode potential is used as a low resistance material for the metal film intermediate layer of the upper bus electrode, while Cr high in heat resistance and oxidation resistance and higher in electrode potential than Al is used for the metal film lower and upper layers disposed as upper and lower layers. Al and Cr are selectively etched so that the metal film lower layer projects on one side and has an undercut on the other side with respect to the metal film intermediate layer.
