A spacer and an image-forming apparatus, and a manufacturing method thereof

摘要

An image-forming apparatus comprises a rear plate (1) on which an electron-emitting device (5) is provided, a face plate (2) having an image-forming member (10) and arranged to be opposed to the rear plate and a spacer (11) provided between the face plate and the rear plate. The spacer comprises a spacer base plate (31) and a coating layer (32) of organic resin. The spacer base plate is of a material that is formed of a dispersion of at least one fibrous filler selected from glass, alumina, boron, carbon, or ceramics-based whiskers, in organic resin. <IMAGE>
