FIELD EMISSION TYPE ELECTRON SOURCE ELEMENT, ELECTRON GUN, CATHODE RAY TUBE APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING CATHODE RAY TUBE

摘要

The object of the present invention is to provide a field emission device that emits an electron beam bundle whose spot profile on a display screen has as little distortion as possible, and that maintains a stable electron emission property regardless of the length of a driving time, a CRT apparatus equipped with such field emission device, and a production method of such CRT apparatus. ??The field emission device (10) has, on a surface of a substrate (11), a plurality of cathode electrodes (12) parallel to each other, an insulation layer (13), and a plurality of extraction electrodes (14) parallel to each other, in the stated order, the cathode electrodes (12) and the extraction electrodes (14) being orthogonal to each other and so yielding a plurality of crossover regions. ??At the crossover regions, electron emission zones (15) each made up of four emitters (16) are formed. One or more of the electron emission zones (15) are selected by controlling the applied voltage between the cathode electrodes (12) and the extraction electrodes (14), according to an area of the display screen to be irradiated with the electron beam bundle.
