Abstract:
1. A flat-panel display device including a hermetic container provided with a cathode for emitting electrons and an anode electrode to be supplied with an electric potential, the flat-panel display device comprising: an anode substrate provided with the anode electrode; a cathode substrate arranged facing the anode substrate at a predetermined spacing therefrom, and provided with the cathode; and a first conductive member through which the electric potential is supplied to the anode electrode, wherein the first conductive member comprises an axis portion, at least a portion of which extends through a penetration hole in the cathode substrate, and a flange portion disposed outside of both the penetration hole and the cathode substrate, wherein the flange portion and an outer surface of the cathode substrate are coupled together, thereby joining the first conductive member to the cathode substrate, wherein the flat-panel display device further comprises a second conductive member electrically connected to the axis portion, and wherein the second conductive member is disposed adjacent to an opening end of the penetration hole and on an inner surface of the cathode substrate.
