Field emission display having improved capability of converging electron beams

摘要

A field emission display that is simple to manufacture in a large screen size and that provides improved display characteristics, includes first and second substrates provided opposing one another with a predetermined gap therebetween; a plurality of gate electrodes formed on a surface of the first substrate opposing the second substrate, the gate electrodes being formed in a striped pattern; an insulation layer formed on the first substrate covering the gate electrodes; a plurality of cathode electrodes formed on the insulation layer in a striped pattern to perpendicularly intersect the gate electrodes; a plurality of surface electron sources formed along one long edge of the cathode electrodes; focusing units provided on the cathode electrodes for controlling the emission of electron beams from the surface electron sources; an anode electrode formed on a surface of the second substrate opposing the first substrate; and a plurality of phosphor layers formed on the anode electrode.
