A spacer on which static electricity is restricted and an electron beam apparatus
in which the spacer is provided. In the electron beam apparatus comprising an electron
source provided with electron emission devices, a face plate provided with anodes
and spacers installed between the electron source and the face plate, unevenness
is formed on the surface of the spacer substrate, and further a thin film which
has a smaller thickness than a roughness. This makes possible the restriction of
incident angle multiplication coefficient for the primary electrons whose energy
is lower than the second cross-point energy of a resistive film. The electron beam
apparatus provided with the above spacer is excellent in display definition and
long-term reliability since the display of light emission points and the creeping
discharge accompanying the static electricity can be restricted due to the spacer.
