  • Patent number: 7458870
    Abstract: The invention is to provide a flat panel display of excellent characteristics, not easily causing a discharge. For this purpose, the invention provides a producing method for an image display apparatus including a first substrate with an conductive surface, and a second substrate with an conductive surface opposed to the first substrate, the method including: a step of applying a voltage between the first substrate and the second substrate; and a step of introducing conductive particles into a space between the first substrate and the second substrate under the voltage application; wherein the voltage applied between the first substrate and the second substrate causes the introduced conductive particles to reciprocate between the first substrate and the second substrate and to collide with dust attached to the first or second substrate, thereby removing the dust from the first or second substrate.

  • Publication number: 20080067913
    Abstract: An image display device which prevents damage to an electron-emitting device from discharge between a faceplate and a rear plate is provided. A conductive plate 12 including a transparent conductive film is formed over a surface of a substrate 1, a distance specifying member 13 having a plurality of openings is formed on the conductive area 12, a fluorescent material 14 is arranged in the opening, and a conductive film 15 is arranged on the fluorescent material 14 to for a face plate. A resistance Rx between the adjacent conductive films 15 is set larger than a resistance Rz between the conductive film 15 and the conductive area 12. Discharge current generated between each conductive film 15 and a rear plate 21 is caused to flow into the conductive area 12 by applying anode voltage to the conductive area 12, which suppresses influence on an electron-emitting device 23.
