More Information
Summary:An electron emission display includes first and second substrates facing each other to form a vacuum envelope, a plurality of driving electrodes formed on the first substrate, a plurality of electron emission regions controlled by the driving electrodes, a focusing electrode disposed on and insulated from the driving electrodes and provided with first openings through which electron beams pass, a plurality of phosphor layers formed on a surface of the second substrate, an anode electrode formed on surfaces of the phosphor layers, and a plurality of spacers for maintaining a gap between the first and second substrates. The focusing electrode includes second openings for forming a potential control unit for forming a potential well, the potential control unit being formed between the first openings to correspond to the spacers. The potential well attracts the electron beams, improving the directionality of the beams.
