Abstract:
A field emission image display comprising:a first substrate;plural patchlike cathode electrodes arranged in a matrix form on said first substrate, each of said patchlike cathode electrodes including emitters for field emission;cathode lead-out electrodes each being connected in a zigzag pattern to two neighbor rows of patchlike cathode electrodes in a two-dimensional matrix formed of said patchlike cathode electrodes;plural patchlike gate electrodes formed over said patchlike cathode electrodes;gate lead-out electrodes connected to plural patchlike gate electrode pairs arranged in the row direction every other row, said plural patchlike gate electrode pairs being associated with two neighbor lines in a two-dimensional matrix formed of said patchlike gate electrodes;a second substrate confronting said first substrate so as to be spaced from each other apart a predetermined distance;plural stripe anode electrodes arranged on said second substrate so as to confront said patchlike gate electrodes;fluorescent substance layers respectively coated on said anode electrodes;first anode lead-out electrodes connected to odd-numbered ones of said anode electrodes; andsecond anode lead-out electrodes for connected to even-numbered ones of said anode electrodes.
