Electron source and image forming apparatus

摘要

A television comprising: (A) a display panel comprising a plurality of electron-emitting devices and a screen for forming an image through electron radiation, each of said electron-emitting devices comprising: a pair of electrodes; an electroconductive film, comprised of an electroconductive material other than carbon, arranged between and connected to said electrodes, said electroconductive film including a fissure; and a carbon-based deposit containing carbon as a principal ingredient, said carbon-based deposit being arranged in the fissure and being connected to the electroconductive film, said carbon-based deposit having a gap formed therein that is narrower than the fissure; (B) a TV signal receiving circuit for receiving TV signal; and (C) a drive circuit for displaying an image on the screen according to the TV signal.
