An image-forming apparatus of the present invention includes: a vacuum
container constituted by disposing in opposition to each other a rear
plate with an electron source formed thereon, and a face plate having an
image display region provided with at least phosphors for being irradiated
with electrons emitted from the electron source to form an image and
anodes disposed on the phosphors; anode potential supplying means for
supplying an electric potential higher than that of the electron source to
the anode; at least one electroconductive member provided at a site
outside of the image display region on an inner surface of the face plate;
potential supplying means for supplying to the electroconductive member an
electric potential at a level between a lowest electric potential of those
which are applied to the electron source and an electric potential applied
to the anode; first and second resistant members electrically connected
between the anode and the electroconductive members, having resistances
higher than that of the anode and having different resistances from each
other, wherein the anode, the first resistant member, the second resistant
member, and the electroconductive member are electrically connected in
series.
