Abstract
An electron source capable of suppressing consumption of an electron emission material is provide. The present invention provides an electron source including: an electron emission material; and, an electron emission-suppressing material covering a side surface of the electron emission material, wherein a work function of the electron emission-suppressing material is higher than that of the electron emission material, and a thermal emissivity of the electron emission-suppressing material is lower than that of the electron emission material.
