Patent ID: 7719179

Claim:
An electron emission display device, comprising: a front panel which includes a front substrate, an anode electrode formed on a surface of the front substrate, and a fluorescent layer; a rear panel which includes a rear substrate disposed facing the front substrate at a predetermined distance, electron emitters formed on the rear substrate, and at least one driving electrode that controls the emission of electrons, said fluorescent layer of said front panel being formed on a surface of the anode electrode remote from the front panel and facing the rear panel; a sealing member which seals the front and rear panels; and at least one dielectric layer included in the sealing member; wherein the fluorescent layer is formed so as to partially cover a side of the anode electrode facing the rear panel so that portions of the anode electrode facing the rear panel are directly exposed to the rear panel, the dielectric layer being disposed between and in direct contact with the sealing member and at least one of the anode electrode and the driving electrode; and wherein the dielectric layer has a dielectric constant less than a dielectric constant of the sealing member.
