Abstract
A field emission display for reducing luminance unevenness by construction means. A plurality of stripe shaped cathode wirings 102 are formed in the cathode area 109 on a cathode substrate 101. Cut-through sections 108 are formed in each of the cathode wirings 102 and an island-like electrode 107 is formed within each cut-through section 108. A resistance layer 103 is formed on the cathode wiring 102, the cut-through section 108 and the island-like electrode 107. A plurality of emitter cones 106 are formed on the resistance layer 103 so as to provide a field emission array. The distance between the island-like electrode 107 and the cathode wiring 102 is changed depending on the position thereof in the cathode area 109 so as to correct deviation of the emission characteristic depending on the position. In the case of a full-color field emission display, white balance can be corrected by changing the distance depending on the luminous color of each dot.
