Image display apparatus

An image display apparatus, comprising:

• a face plate carrying fluorescent material;
• a rear plate carrying a plurality of electron-emitting devices;
• a first spacer maintaining a distance between said face plate and said rear plate, said first spacer having a resistive surface and arranged in an image display portion;
• a non-evaporation-type getter disposed inside the image display portion;
• a non-evaporation-type getter disposed outside the image display portion;
• and
• a second spacer maintaining a distance between said face plate and said rear plate, said second spacer being an insulative spacer arranged between said evaporation-type getter and said plurality of electron-emitting devices.
