Image display apparatus

An image display apparatus comprising:

• a rear plate including a plurality of electron-emitting devices;
• a face plate including an anode electrode configured to accelerate electrons emitted from the plurality of electron-emitting devices;
• a spacer which is a plate-shaped spacer disposed between the rear plate and the face plate, the spacer including a conductive member formed in a longitudinal direction of the spacer;
• and
• a potential-supplying unit configured to form a potential gradient in the conductive member in the longitudinal direction of the spacer so as to compensate a difference between a distance to the spacer from a position on the face plate irradiated with electrons emitted from a first electron-emitting device among the plurality of electron-emitting devices and a distance to the spacer from a position on the face plate irradiated with electrons emitted from a second electron-emitting device among the plurality of electron-emitting devices, the second electron-emitting device being located at a position shifted in the longitudinal direction of the spacer with respect to a position of the first electron-emitting device.
