LIGHT EMISSION DEVICE AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE WITH THE LIGHT EMISSION DEVICE AS BACK LIGHT UNIT

摘要

A light emitting apparatus and an LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) using the same as a backlight unit are provided to inhibit the generation of arcing within the inside of a vacuum container and to enhance the brightness by increasing the anode voltage. First and second substrates(12,14) are arranged oppositely to each other and construct a vacuum container. Driving electrodes include the first electrodes and the second electrodes formed on the first and second substrates. Electron-emission members(32) are electrically connected with any one of the first and second electrodes. An insulation layer(28) is located between the first and second electrodes. A resistant layer(42a) is formed on the insulation layer toward the second substrate and has an area corresponding to the insulation layer so that the exposure of the insulation layer toward the second substrate is prevented. A fluorescent layer(34) is formed at a surface of the second substrate. An anode electrode(36) is located at a surface of the fluorescent layer. The resistant layer is located at the entire upper surface of the insulation layer and any one electrode of the first and second electrodes is located at the resistant layer. The insulation layer forms an opening for passing the electron beam and the resistant layer is extended to the sidewall of the opening.
