Patent ID: 7187115

Claim:
An electron emission device comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other with a distance therebetween; an electron emission unit formed at the first substrate; an image display unit formed at the second substrate; a grid electrode disposed between the first and the second substrates, the grid electrode having a plurality of beam guide holes arranged in a first predetermined pattern and a plurality of spacer insertion holes arranged in a second predetermined pattern; and a plurality of preformed spacers inserted into and partially out of opposite ends of the respective spacer insertion holes of the grid electrode, and fitted between the first and the second substrates, wherein a size of each of the spacer insertion holes is larger than an outer size of each of the spacers, wherein the grid electrode is a metal mesh, wherein an insulating layer is formed on a bottom surface of the metal mesh through depositing an insulating material to a predetermined height, and wherein a fixation layer is formed on a bottom surface of the insulating layer through depositing a frit.
