Display device

A display device comprising:

• a rear panel having a plurality of cathode wires having electron emitting sources, a plurality of control electrodes which cross the cathode wires and control an emission quantity of electrons from the electron emitting sources in response to the potential difference between the cathode wires and the control electrodes, and a rear substrate, and
• a face panel having anodes and fluorescent materials,
• wherein the control electrodes are formed of plate-like members, the control electrodes have third regions which are indented than other regions of the control electrodes in the thickness direction at positions where at least portions of the third regions are superposed on first regions where the control electrodes cross the cathode wires, and the control electrodes have holes which allow the electrons emitted from the electron emitting sources to pass therethrough toward the front panel side within the first regions and the third regions.
