Abstract:
A display device comprising:an FED display section which includes a plurality of cathode electrodes each formed into a stripe-like manner and including emitters for field emission of electrons, a plurality of gate electrodes formed in a stripe-like manner and arranged in a direction perpendicular to said cathode electrodes, and an anode electrode for capturing electrons emitted from said emitters, resulting in display pixels being defined in a matrix-like manner;a display drive circuit for driving said gate electrodes in order and driving said cathode electrodes depending on a video signal for every horizontal line, to thereby permit said FED display section to execute image display;said display drive circuit including an FET element arranged for each of said cathode electrodes and being so constructed that a drain current obtained depending on a voltage of the video signal applied to a gate of each of said FET elements may be fed in the form of a drive current to each of said cathode electrodes.
