Abstract
Deformation of a gate by Coulomb force generated when operating an electron-emitting device is inhibited by appropriately maintaining relationship between film thickness h of the gate and distance L from an outer surface of an insulating member to an inner surface of a concave portion. According to this, in an electron beam apparatus provided with a laminate-type electron-emitting device, the deformation of the gate is prevented to reduce variation in electron emission characteristics, thereby preventing the element from being broken.
