Patent ID: 7843119

Claim:
An image display apparatus comprising: a first substrate provided with an electron-emitting device; a second substrate provided with an anode and a phosphor emitting light responsive to an irradiation with an electron emitted from the electron-emitting device, wherein the electron-emitting device and the anode and phosphor are arranged to be opposed to each other; and a spacer arranged at least in a region sandwiched between the anode and the first substrate to support the first and second substrate between the first and second substrates, wherein the spacer comprises an insulating member and a plurality of electroconductive members enveloped with the insulating member, so as not to expose surfaces of the plurality of electroconductive members, within the region sandwiched between the anode and the first substrate, and the plurality of electroconductive members enveloped with the insulating member are spaced apart from each other in a direction along which the first and second substrates are opposed.
