Thin-film electron source and display produced by using the same

A thin-film type electron source as defined in the claim wherein the metal which can be anodized, being added into said ower electrode, is at least one kind selected from a group ncluding Nd, Zr, Ta, Ti, Nb and Hf.

A thin-film type electron source as defined in the claim wherein said upper electrode is made of at least one kind elected from a group including Ir, Pt, Au, Ru, Rh, Al, Al-alloy, Ti, Cr, and conductive ITO, ZnO, Sno2, IrO2 and PdO.

A display device comprising:

• a thin-film type electron source;
• a driver circuit for driving said thin-film type electron source;
• and a phosphor screen which emits lights by being energized with electrons emitted from said thin-film type electron source, wherein said thin-film type electron source has a laminated structure of a lower electrode, an insulating layer and an upper electrode, so that it emits electron from a surface of said upper electrode into a vacuum, upon application of voltage between said lower electrode and said upper electrode, in a polarity thereof so that said upper electrode is positive in the voltage, said lower electrode is made from Al-alloy adding metal into Al which can be anodized, while said insulating layer is made from anodized film which is anodized upon surface of said lower electrode, a substrate on which said thin-film type electron source is provided and a substrate on which said phosphor screen is provided are pasted to each other through frit glass, and said bonding is conducted through heating said two (2) substrates under an atmosphere from 350° C. to 450° C. including oxygen therein.
