Patent ID: 7291966

Claim:
An image display device constituted of a display panel comprising a back panel, a face panel, and a sealing frame which is interposed between peripheries of the back panel and the face panel and seals an inner space in which the back panel and the face panel faces to each other in an opposed manner with a given distance therebetween in a given vacuum state, wherein the back panel includes a back substrate on which a plurality of scanning signal lines which extend in one direction and are arranged in parallel in another direction which is orthogonal to one direction and to which scanning signals are sequentially applied in the another direction, a plurality of image signal lines which extend in the another direction and are arranged in parallel in one direction so as to intersect the scanning signal lines, electron sources which are formed in the vicinities of respective intersecting portions of the scanning signal lines and the image signal lines, and current supply electrodes which are connected to the scanning signal lines so as to supply an electric current to the electron sources are formed, the face panel includes a face substrate on which phosphor layers which are formed corresponding to the electron sources respectively, and an acceleration electrode which accelerates electrons emitted from the electron sources so as to direct the electrons to the phosphor layers in response to a potential difference between the current supply electrodes and the image signal lines are formed, partition walls which hold the distance between the back panel and the face panel are formed on some scanning signal lines along the extending direction of the scanning signal lines, and the current supply electrodes are connected with the electron sources on a downstream side of the scanning signal lines.
