Patent ID: RE41828

Claim:
An image display comprising: a display device including, a first plate having, a plurality of electron-emitter elements each having a structure comprised of a base electrode, an insulating layer and a top electrode stacked on one another in this order, said electron-emitter element emitting electrons from the surface of the top electrode when a voltage of positive polarity is applied to the top electrode; a plurality of first electrodes for respectively applying driving voltages to the base electrodes of the electron-emitter elements lying in a row (or column) direction, of said plurality of electron-emitter elements; and a plurality of second electrodes for respectively applying driving voltages to the top electrodes of the electron-emitter elements lying in the column (or row) direction, of said plurality of electron-emitter elements; a frame component; and a second plate having phosphors; wherein a space surrounded by said first plate, said frame component and said second plate is brought into vacuum; wherein at least on said electron-emitter element includes its corresponding base electrode and top electrode, at least one of which is connected to the first electrode or second electrode through a resistor element.
