Abstract:
A method for producing an image-forming apparatus, said image-forming apparatus comprising a container, an electron-emitting device disposed in said container and having an electron-emitting section between a pair of electrodes, said electron-emitting device being adapted to emit electrons with application of a voltage between said pair of electrodes, and an image-forming member for forming an image by irradiation of the electrons emitted from said electron-emitting device, said production method having a step of irradiating said image-forming member with electrons emitted from the electron-emitting device,wherein said electrons to irradiate said image-forming member are electrons emitted by applying to the electron-emitting device a voltage of an opposite polarity to that of the voltage applied between the pair of electrodes of the electron-emitting device during driving for image formation of said image-forming apparatus.
