An image display device has a front substrate having an anode and
phosphors, a rear substrate having electron sources and opposing the
front substrate with a specified spacing therebetween, a support member
which is sandwiched between the front and rear substrates, surrounds a
display region, and maintains the specified spacing, and plural
spacing-maintaining members which are sandwiched between the front and
rear substrates in the display region, and are fixed at at least one of
end faces of each of the spacing-maintaining members to a corresponding
one of the front and rear substrates. Both end faces of the support
member is hermetically sealed to the rear and front substrates,
respectively. A height of the spacing-maintaining members is greater than
that of the support member.
