Display device

A display device comprising:

• a first substrate having a plurality of electron emitters arranged in a matrix;
• a second substrate arranged in opposed relation to said first substrate, said second substrate including a phosphor pattern for emitting light by receiving the electron beam released from said electron emitters and a metal thin film for accelerating said electron beam;
• and
• at least a spacer arranged between said first substrate and said second substrate for supporting said first substrate and said second substrate;
• wherein said spacer includes a plurality of first sheet-form support members and a plurality of second sheet-form support members extending in a direction perpendicular to said first sheet-form support members, said first sheet-form support members and said second sheet-form support members being combined with each other thereby to form a plurality of rectangular spaces each having a section parallel to selected one of said first substrate and said second substrate.

A display device comprising:

• a back electrode including a plurality of scanning electrodes extending in horizontal direction on the screen, a plurality of signal electrodes extending in vertical direction on the screen and a plurality of electron emitters arranged at the crossing points between said plurality of said scanning electrodes and said plurality of said signal electrodes to emit electrons;
• a front substrate arranged in opposed relation to said back electrode and including phosphor elements for emitting light by being irradiated with electrons from said electron emitters;
• and
• a plurality of spacers arranged between said back electrode and said front substrate to form spaces between said back electrode and said front substrate;
• wherein said plurality of said spacers are arranged on said scanning electrodes, respectively, and each two spacers arranged on two different ones of said scanning electrodes are coupled to each other by support members thereby form a box-type spacer.
