  • Patent number: 7471038
    Abstract: An image display device is disclosed in which poor display resulting from deflection of electron bundles which occurs due to electrification of spacers and secondary electron emission can be positively prevented and a high-quality display can be therefore obtained. In the image display device, electron sources in the vicinity of the spacers are displaced with respect to arranging positions at equal pitches, by distances which allow drifts of the electron bundles from phosphors, which are brought about by the deflection of the electron bundles which occurs due to electrification of the spacers and secondary electron emission, to be cancelled.

  • Publication number: 20070200484
    Abstract: A flat panel display device is provided which prevents color mixture of the phosphor surface thereof to promote high brightness and longer operation life. The flat panel display device is configured such that a front substrate 2 provided with the phosphor surface and a back substrate 1 provided with electron sources 10 arranged in a matrix manner are arranged to be opposed to each other via a support frame 3 and both the substrates 1, 2 and the support frame 3 are hermetically sealed. The electron source 10 has a triangular surface which faces the front substrate 2.

  • Publication number: 20070159075
    Abstract: In an image display device, an opening area per unit area of opening portions formed in a BM film which is formed on an inner surface of a face substrate is set such that the opening area is gradually decreased from a center portion to a peripheral portion of an image display region. By preventing the generation of color mixing in a peripheral portion of an image display region attributed to the printing position displacement of phosphor film or missing of dots in the phosphor film in pixels, it is possible to provide the image display device which can enhance a yield rate and, at the same time, can acquire an image display of high color uniformity over the whole surface of the image display region.
