Electron emission device, electron emission display apparatus having the same, and method of manufacturing the same

An electron emission display apparatus, comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a plurality of cathodes formed on the first substrate;
• a plurality of gate electrodes crossing the cathodes;
• an insulating layer interposed between the cathodes and the gate electrodes to insulate the cathodes from the gate electrodes;
• an electron emission source disposed in an electron emission hole formed in regions where the cathode electrodes and the gate electrodes cross each other;
• a resistance layer contacting both the electron emission source and the cathodes, the resistance layer comprising semiconductive carbon nanotubes as a main component;
• a second substrate disposed substantially parallel to the first substrate;
• an anode disposed on the second substrate;
• and
• a phosphor layer disposed on the anode.

A method of manufacturing an electron emission device, comprising:

• forming a first substrate;
• forming a cathode on the first substrate;
• forming an insulating layer on the cathode;
• forming a gate electrode on the insulating layer;
• forming an electron emission hole in the gate electrode and the insulating layer;
• and
• forming a resistance layer comprising semiconductive carbon nanotubes as a main component to be contacted with the cathode and forming an electron emission source in the electron emission hole.
