Estimating the term…
A display device can realize the highly efficient electron emission characteristics by ensuring the exposure of carbon nanotubes 13 in the inside of a vacuum by fixing the carbon nanotubes 13 to cathode wires 12 such that the carbon nanotubes 13 are not easily removed from the cathode wires 12 with the small resistance which enables the carbon nanotubes 13 to have the enough electron emission ability. Some end portions or some intermediate portions of the carbon nanotubes 13 are embedded into the cathode wires 12 formed on a rear substrate 11 and, at the same time, contact points where the carbon nanotubes 13 cross each other or portions in the vicinity of the crossing portions are bonded to each other by bonding films 14.
A display device performing a display using electrons emitted from electron emitting sources, the display device being characterized in that each electron emitting source includes a large number of carbon nanotubes, the carbon nanotubes cross each other and have contact points, and points of the carbon nanotubes in the vicinity of the contact points are bonded to each other by films made of bonding material.
