A fluorescent display device cable of being significantly increased in emission. A grid electrode is formed of a nonleaded conductive paste constituted by Al containing at least one of organic metal and phosphate glass frit by screen printing. This positively prevents precipitation of Pb on the grid electrode due to reduction of PbO by oxidation of Al during calcination of the conductive paste as encountered with the prior art.

A color filter capable of being uniformly formed without any deformation of a light-permeable anode conductor and prevented from being adversely affected by etching for formation of the anode conductor. A light-permeable anode substrate free of any deformation is uniformly formed thereon with anode conductors, on which color filters are formed of a mixture of a composite oxide pigment and a conductive material so as to cover the anode conductors. The color filters each are formed by arranging a color filter material in a predetermined pattern, followed by calcination. Then, phosphor layers are deposited on the color filters. The phosphor layers are electrically connected through the conductive material of the color filters to the anode conductors. A thickness of the color filters and a particle diameter of the conductive material are determined to be substantially the same, so that the color filters exhibit conductivity only in a direction of thickness. Thus, contact between the color filters adjacent to each other does not cause electrical connection therebetween.

A fluorescent display device of the front emission type capable of permitting light-permeable anode conductors to be uniformly formed without any deformation and preventing color filters from being affected by etching carried out for forming the anode conductors. A light-permeable anode substrate is provided thereon with strip-like filters, which are then formed thereon with a uniform and flat protective film of light-permeable, insulating and etching-resistant properties. Then, anode conductors are arranged on the protective film. Thus, the anode conductors can be uniformly formed on the flat protective film irrespective of unevenness on a surface of the filters. Also, the protective film prevents the anode conductors from being exposed to etching liquid used for formation of the anode conductors.
