The invention provides a display device using thin film type electron
sources having a structure that can be formed in a simple manufacturing
process. A lower electrode, a protective insulating layer and an
interlayer film are formed on a cathode substrate. An upper bus electrode
made from a laminated film of a metal film lower layer and a metal film
upper layer is provided further on the interlayer film. A film of an
upper electrode of a thin film type electron source for each pixel
constituted by an insulating layer serving as an electron accelerating
layer on the lower electrode and the upper electrode is formed on two
stripe electrodes of the upper bus electrode in that pixel and another
upper bus electrode in an adjacent pixel by sputtering. Then, the upper
electrode is separated by self-alignment due to a setback portion of the
metal film lower layer and an appentice of the metal film upper layer of
the corresponding upper bus electrode. Thus, a thin film type electron
source separated in accordance with each pixel is formed.
