A display having hot electron type electron sources displaying an image by a
line
sequential scanning scheme is provided to prevent poor brightness uniformity along
scan lines. The hot electron type electron source is provided with a top electrode
bus line serving as a scan line and a bottom electrode bus line serving as a data
line. The top electrode bus line has a sheet resistance lower than that of the
bottom electrode. The wire sheet resistance of the scam line can be reduced to
several m/square. When forming a 40 inch large screen FED using the hot electron
type electron sources, a voltage drop amount produced in the scan line can be suppressed
below an allowable range. As a result, high quality image without poor brightness
uniformity can be obtained.
