Abstract
A cold cathode element for emitting an electron on application of an electric field. The element includes a diamond carbon film having a half width Hw of a photoelectron spectrum of a C,electron using an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, of 1.72 eV or more. The cold cathode element has the function of sufficiently emitting electrons even by applying a low voltage, and thus the element has high practical utility.
