In an image display apparatus composed of a vacuum container having an
electron source composed of multiple electron-emitting devices and a
phosphor film that is irradiated with an electron from the electron
source to emit light for display, an ion pump for exhausting the vacuum
container through a communicating path by virtue of an action of a
magnetism forming portion is arranged. A magnetic shielding member is
arranged in a space where the ion pump and the electron-emitting devices
are in communication with each other, whereby an influence of a magnetic
field generated by the magnetism forming portion on the trajectory of an
electron emitted from any one of the electron-emitting devices and
display luminance unevenness incidental to the influence are removed.
