Patent ID: 6851998

Claim:
A method of manufacturing an electron-emitting device, said method comprising the steps of: preparing a first electrode and a second electrode which are disposed on a surface of a substrate; and arranging a first carbon film and a second carbon film so that the first carbon film is electrically connected to the first electrode and the second carbon film is electrically connected to the second electrode, wherein each of the first and the second carbon films includes (i) a first region including graphite (002) planes stacked in a direction that is not less than −45 degrees and not more than +45 degrees relative to the surface of the substrate, and (ii) a second region including graphite (002) planes stacked in a direction that is not less than −30 degrees and not more than +30 degrees from a normal direction relative to the surface of the substrate, wherein the first carbon film and the second carbon film are arranged so that both of the first regions are situated between the second regions.
