Patent ID: 7456563

Claim:
An electron emission display comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate facing the first substrate; a plurality of first electrodes on the first substrate along a first direction; a first insulating layer on the first substrate such that the first insulating layer covers the first electrodes; a plurality of second electrodes on the first insulating layer along a second direction such that the second electrodes cross the first electrodes, sub-pixels being formed at crossed regions of the first and second electrodes; a plurality of electron emission regions on the first electrodes and within the sub-pixels; a plurality of phosphor layers on a surface of the second substrate corresponding to the sub-pixels such that the phosphor layers are spaced apart from each other with a distance therebetween; and a metallic reflection layer on the second substrate such that the metallic reflection layer covers the phosphor layers, wherein the metallic reflection layer comprises a plurality of spaced portions, each of the spaced portions covering at least two of the phosphor layers respectively placed corresponding to the sub-pixels, wherein the plurality of spaced portions are spaced away from the phosphor layers with an open gap between the spaced portions and the phosphor layers, and wherein the metallic reflection layer further comprises a plurality of contact portions connecting the spaced portions and not spaced away from the second substrate with an open gap therebetween.
