Abstract
An image-forming device includes, in an envelope, an electron-emitting element for emitting an electron by applying a voltage between electrodes, an image-forming member for forming an image by irradiation with an electron beam emitted from the electron-emitting element, and a supporting member for supporting the envelope. The supporting member has an electroconductive film at an end portion and a side portion thereof, and is electrically connected through the electroconductive film to the electrode.
Claims4
An image-forming device comprising:
- a rear plate having an electron-emitting element of lateral or vertical field-emitting type for emitting an electron by applying a voltage between electrodes;
- a face plate having an image-forming member for forming an image by irradiation with an electron beam emitted from said electron-emitting element;
- and
- a supporting member placed between the rear plate and the face plate for supporting the rear plate and the face plate, wherein
- said supporting member comprises an electroconductive film extending continuously from an end portion of the supporting member opposite to the rear plate along a side portion of the supporting member and contacting with the face plate, and is electrically connected through the electroconductive film at the end portion to at least one electrode.
An image-forming device comprising:
- a rear plate having a plurality of electron-emitting elements of lateral or vertical field-emitting type for emitting an electron by applying a voltage between electrodes, and a plurality of wirings for connecting said electron-emitting elements;
- a face plate having an image-forming member for forming an image by irradiation with an electron beam emitted from said electron-emitting elements;
- and
- a supporting member placed between the rear plate and the face plate for supporting the rear plate and the face plate, wherein said supporting member comprises an electroconductive film extending continuously from an end portion of the support member opposite to the rear plate along a side portion of the supporting member and contacting with the face plate, and is electrically connected through the electroconductive film at the end portion to at least one of said wirings.
An image-forming device comprising, in an envelope:
- a plurality of electron-emitting elements for emitting electrons by applying a voltage between electrodes of the electron emitting elements;
