Method of manufacturing an electron-emitting device

摘要

An electron-emitting device (1-5) having a pair of electrodes (2,3), an electroconductive film (4) arranged between the electrodes (2,3), and a gap formed in the electroconductive film, defining an electron-emitting region (5), is exposed to an atmosphere containing one or more than one organic substance and a gas having a composition expressed by the general formula XY (where both X and Y represent a hydrogen or a halogen atom) while a voltage, preferably a bipolar pulse voltage, is applied across the electrodes (2,3).
