Abstract:
An image-forming apparatus comprising:an electron source on which a plurality of electron-emitting devices are arranged; an image-forming member on which an image is formed by irradiation of electrons emitted by said electron-emitting devices; a structure arranged between said electron source and said image-forming member to maintain an interval between said electron source and said image-forming member; and deflection means for deflecting each of electrons emitted by two adjacent electron-emitting devices, the structure being positioned between the two adjacent electron-emitting devices, toward the structure while the electrons are traveling from said electron-emitting devices to said image-forming member, wherein each of said electron-emitting devices comprises a negative electrode, an electron-emitting portion, and a positive electrode which are arranged on a substrate surface for arranging said electron-emitting device.
