Field emission display device with improved dielectric breakdown characteristic

A field emission type display device, comprising:

• an anode substrate including display portions each formed of a fluorescence material layer and an anode conductor;
• a cathode substrate having an inner surface on which electron emission elements are formed so as to confront said display portions of said anode substrate;
• wherein a container is formed by spacing said anode substrate and said cathode substrate a predetermined distance from each other by a peripheral wall portion hermetically sealed to said cathode substrate and said anode substrate;
• said container having an exhaust hole formed in a part of said peripheral wall portion;
• a cover member securely mounted to the outside of said container so as to form a getter room communicating with said exhaust hole;
• and
• an anode lead in electrical contact with an anode terminal portion of said anode conductor at an end portion of said anode substrate which extends from the container through the exhaust hole, said anode lead passing through a sealed portion of said cover member.
