An electron emission device includes a first substrate and a second substrate provided opposing one another with a predetermined gap therebetween. A first electrode is formed on the first substrate. A second electrode is formed on the first substrate crossing the first electrode. Each second electrode includes an auxiliary electrode and a main electrode formed to a thickness that is less than a thickness of the auxiliary electrode. An insulation layer is interposed between the at least first electrode and second electrodes. At least one anode electrode is formed on the second substrate; and phosphor layers are formed on one surface of the at least one anode electrode.
