A micropoint type cold cathode comprises a substrate including an array of micropoints and a plate disposed parallel to the substrate carrying the points. The plate includes a hole facing each point and thereby constitutes a grid. An insulator fills the space between the substrate and the grid except at the location of the points. The nominal distance between the summit of a point and the face of the grid farthest from the substrate is zero, the nominal radius of curvature at the summit of each point is 25 nm and the nominal radius of the holes in the grid is 1.3 mum.
