Abstract
A display (10) includes an electron source having a row conductor (17) that utilizes a plurality of longitudinal elements (26, 28). Each longitudinal element (26, 28) has extraction section (19, 23) that extends from the longitudinal element toward an adjacent longitudinal element. The longitudinal elements (26, 28) are electrically connected by a plurality of transverse connectors (29, 38, 39). When a short occurs between the row (17) and an underlying column (12, 36), the shorted portion can be electrically isolated so that the remainder of the row remains functional.
