An image display apparatus includes a rear plate including electron-emitting devices, a face plate including an anode electrode, a voltage applying unit configured to apply a voltage to the anode electrode, a switching unit configured to switch between a display state of displaying an image and a non-display state of displaying no image, and a timing unit. The timing unit measures a non-display time, which is an amount of time that the switching unit allows the non-display state to continue. After the timing unit has measured a certain non-display time, the voltage applying unit applies, to the anode electrode, a second voltage lower than a first voltage to be applied in the display state, to enable the electron-emitting devices to emit electrons.

An image display apparatus is provided with a vacuum chamber consisting of an electron source substrate and an image display substrate, and an ion pump which is attached to an electron-emitting substrate or the image display substrate and exhausts air from the vacuum chamber by the action of a magnet, wherein the magnet is attached and fixed to the substrate to which the ion pump has been attached. Thereby, the image display apparatus prevents the magnet from applying an excessive force to the ion pump by its weight, and acquires a stable structure without causing a vacuum leak.

In an image display apparatus composed of a vacuum container having an electron source composed of multiple electron-emitting devices and a phosphor film that is irradiated with an electron from the electron source to emit light for display, an ion pump for exhausting the vacuum container through a communicating path by virtue of an action of a magnetism forming portion is arranged. A magnetic shielding member is arranged in a space where the ion pump and the electron-emitting devices are in communication with each other, whereby an influence of a magnetic field generated by the magnetism forming portion on the trajectory of an electron emitted from any one of the electron-emitting devices and display luminance unevenness incidental to the influence are removed.
