Abstract:
A method of producing a display device comprising a plurality of electron-emitting devices arranged in a matrix of rows and columns on a substrate, each electron-emitting device including a pair of electrodes which are disposed with a space therebetween, said method comprising the steps of:applying a liquid containing a material for constituting a thin film, the liquid being in liquid droplet form ejected from nozzle means onto a position on the substrate at which the space between the electrodes in each of the electron-emitting devices arranged in the matrix is or is to be provided; sintering the liquid applied on the substrate for each electron-emitting device to form an electrically-conductive thin film member containing the material; forming a plurality of first wirings on the substrate each of which commonly connects one of the pair of electrodes in each of the electron-emitting devices and a plurality of second wirings on the substrate each of which commonly connects the other of the pair of electrodes in each of the electron-emitting devices; and conducting a forming process on each electrically-conductive thin film member by flowing a current in the electrically-conductive thin film member between the pair of electrodes through the first and second wirings.
