Disclosed is an electrode for an electron source, a method for producing the same, and an electronic tube using the same which provide a decreased thickness of an electron emitting source, and an improved current distribution percentage. The electronic tube comprises a substrate, an electron emitting source area formed on the substrate, and a shield area around the electron emitting area. The shield area is formed of a material that does not produce an electron emitting source, when the electron emitting source is produced by a dry method. As a result, if a space between an electron drawing electrode and the electrode for the electron source is narrow, the percentage of anode current increases in the total current, thereby improving the current distribution percentage.

Electrode for electron source, method for producing the same, and electronic tube using the same

A vacuum fluorescent display includes a cathode electrode, grid electrode, anode electrode, at least one envelope, phosphor screen, and cap. The cathode electrode emits electrons. The grid electrode extracts the electrons from the cathode electrode. The anode electrode accelerates the electrons extracted from the cathode electrode. The envelope accommodates the cathode electrode, grid electrode, and anode electrode in a vacuum space and has a phosphor screen plate having light transmission properties. The phosphor screen is formed on an inner surface of the phosphor screen plate of the envelope and adapted to emit light upon bombardment of the electrons accelerated by the anode electrode. The cap is made of an X-ray shielding material and supported outside the envelope so as to surround the phosphor screen plate of the envelope through a gap. The cap has a light exit portion from which the light emitted from the phosphor screen emerges through the phosphor screen plate of the envelope.

A vacuum fluorescent display includes a front glass member, substrate, control electrode, plate-like field emission type electron-emitting source, mesh-like electron extracting electrode, and phosphor film. The front glass member has light transmission properties at least partly, and the substrate opposes the front glass member through a vacuum space. The control electrode is formed on an inner surface of the substrate. The plate-like field emission type electron-emitting source with a plurality of through holes is arranged in the vacuum space to be spaced apart from the control electrode. The mesh-like electron extracting electrode is formed between the field emission type electron-emitting source and the front glass member to be spaced apart from the field emission type electron-emitting source. The phosphor film is formed inside the front glass member.
