An electron gun includes a field emission cold cathode (1) having a first electric potential, a primary gate electrode (2) having a first opening around the top of the cathode (1) and having a second electric potential which is higher than the first electric potential for causing an electron emission from the top of the cathode (1), and a second gate electrode (3) having a second opening around the top of the cathode (1) and having a third electric potential which is higher than the first electric potential and lower than the second electric potential, wherein a first voltage defined as a difference between the first and the second electric potentials varies in proportion to a second voltage defined as a difference between the first and the third electric potentials so as to provide a current-voltage characteristic having an apparent gamma-property. The apparent gamma-property is such that the luminous output of a fluorescent substance (7) of an anode (8) is directly proportional to a signal voltage.
