Abstract: An increase in the circuit size of a drive circuit that accompanies multi-gradation is reduced. Herein, VI0 to VIM are modulation circuit reference voltages in which a prescribed range, i.e., from a non-emission voltage VEOFF to a maximum emission voltage VEON, is divided in M equal parts. Higher-order dividing resistor (40) equally divides the parts of the modulation circuit reference voltages VI0 to VIM (where VI0>VI1 . . . >VIM?1>VIM) and generates 2J+1 higher-order gradation voltages v0 to v8M (where 8M is equal to 2J) A higher-order decoder unit (41) selects two adjacent voltages from the higher-order gradation voltages in accordance with the data of the higher-order J bits held in the data latch. Complimentary MOSFET selection switches (47-1) and (47-2) open and close in accordance with the lowest-order bit data inputted to the higher-order decoder unit (41).

Due to such a constitution, it is possible to reduce undesired impact of electrons on control electrodes and the enhancement of the heat resistance of the carbon nanotubes of electron sources, whereby it is possible to obtain a display device of high quality and long lifetime, while exhibiting a high-performance electron emission characteristic. Boron (B) is adhered to carbon nanotubes, which constitute electron sources, through the small apertures of the control electrodes; and, hence, the alignment of the small apertures and the small electron sources is ensured and the area of the electron source is set to be equal to or less than the area of the aperture.
