Abstract

An electron emission source is provided. The electron emission source comprises a first electrode, an insulating layer, a semiconductor layer, and a second electrode. The first electrode, the insulating layer, the semiconductor layer, and the second electrode are successively stacked with each other. The second electrode is a graphene layer, and the graphene layer is an electron emission end to emit electrons.
