Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an electron source having a plurality of electron-emitting devices, characterized by comprising:the voltage application step of applying potentials to a first wiring commonly connected to a plurality of devices, and a plurality of second wirings respectively connected to the plurality of devices, such that a voltage V1 is applied to the plurality of devices connected to the first wiring by the potentials applied to the first wiring and the plurality of second wirings, the voltage V1 having a relationship with a maximum value V2 of a voltage applied as a normal driving voltage after the voltage application step, so as to satisfy: giving a current I flowing upon application of a voltage V when the voltage V falling within a voltage range causing electron emission upon application of the voltage between two electrodes of each device is applied to the device: I=f(V)â€ƒâ€ƒ(1) and letting fâ€² (V) be a differential coefficient of f(V) at the voltage V,a condition: f(V1)/{V1Â·fâ€²(V1)âˆ’2f(V1)}>f(V2)/{V2Â·fâ€²(V2)}â€ƒâ€ƒ(2) wherein the potential applied to each second wiring is set to reduce a difference in magnitude of the voltage V1 applied to each device as a potential difference between the potential applied to the device through the first wiring and the potential applied to the device through each second wiring.
