A carbon fiber mixed paper 8 obtained by mixing a fiber blend 7, which is
obtained by knitting a carbon fiber and a glass fiber, into a paper
material is used as the material for an anode that opposes to an electron
emission cathode. A phosphor is applied onto this carbon fiber mixed
paper 8, and further, an electrode 9 is provided. The present invention
reduces heat generation at the anode as much as possible and enables
uniform illumination without providing a diffuser. Moreover, the present
invention does not require an electrode made of a transparent conductive
film.
