A thermal electron emission source includes a first electrode, a second electrode insulated from the first electrode, a carbon nanotube string electrically connected to and in contact with the first electrode and the second electrode, and a number of electron emission particles. The carbon nanotube string is composed of a number of closely packed carbon nanotube bundles, and each of the carbon nanotube bundles includes a number of carbon nanotubes. The electron emission particles are uniformly dispersed in the carbon nanotube string and are coated on the surfaces of the carbon nanotubes. A method for making the thermal electron emission source is also provided.
