Patent ID: 7579763

Claim:
An electron emission device comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate facing the first substrate; a first electrode and a second electrode, the first and second electrodes being on the first substrate and insulated from each other; electron emission regions electrically connected to at least one of the first electrode or the second electrode; a phosphor layer on the second substrate; and an anode electrode on a surface of the phosphor layer, wherein an area of the electron emission regions is an emission area, and wherein at least one of the first electrode or the second electrode comprises a pair of line portions spaced apart from each other in parallel while interposing the emission area therebetween and a connector traversing the emission area to interconnect the pair of line portions, and wherein at least one of the first electrode or the second electrode has a subsidiary electrode on an entire surface thereof except for a portion of the surface corresponding to the emission area.
