A flat panel display includes an electron emitter plate provided with electron
emitters, a phosphor plate provided with phosphors and a space defined by the electron
emitter plate and the phosphor plate for form a substantial vacuum atmosphere therebetween,
wherein a great number of fine recess structures are formed on the surface of a
metal film formed on the electron emitter plate, and fine fibered substances or
carbon nanotubes or substances containing the fine fibered substances or carbon
nanotubes are arranged on the fine recess structures to form electron emitters.
