ELECTRON EMISSION DEVICE, ELECTRON SOURCE, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND THEIR MANUFACTURE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify a manufacturing process of a conductive film and provide a low cost electron emission device, an excellent electron source and an image forming apparatus using it and their manufacturing methods. SOLUTION: A manufacturing method of an electron emission device includes steps of forming a couple of device electrodes 2, 3 on a base 1, adding liquid- drop of solution including material for forming a conductive film 4 by heat- baking the liquid-drop to be added and forming an electron emission section 5 on the conductive film 4. This manufacturing method has a step of hydrophobically treating the surface of the base 1 making contact with the liquid-drop before the step of adding the liquid-drop.
