Abstract
A method of producing an electron emission device having a low threshold electric field needed to emit electrons without unintentional electron emission includes a first step of preparing a first conductive film, second conductive film, and a material which constitutes an electron emission part connected to the first conductive film, and a second step of setting a threshold electric field strength, which is needed to start electron emission in a situation where a higher electric potential is applied to the first conductive film than that applied to the second conductive film, to a value greater than a threshold electric field strength, which is needed to start electron emission in a situation where a higher electric potential is applied to the second conductive film than that applied to the first conductive film.
