Abstract

In a field emission type device, pairs of patch-shaped cathode electrodes 3 are disposed on each of cathode electrodes 2 with an insulation in the line direction. Even-numbered patch-shaped gate electrodes 3 are connected to a first gate lead electrode GT1 on a line perpendicular to the cathode electrodes 2. Odd-numbered patch-shaped gate electrodes are connected to a second gate lead electrode GT2. An anode electrode 8 with a phosphor is disposed opposite to the patch-shaped gate electrodes 3. The first gate lead electrode GT1 and the second gate lead electrode GT2 are alternatively driven. The voltage of one of the first gate lead electrode GT1 and the second gate lead electrode GT2 is set to a ground level. Image data is supplied to cathode lead electrodes Cl to Ck. The voltage of the patch-shaped gate electrodes disposed adjacent to a patch-shaped gate electrode 3 that is driven is set to the ground level. Thus, electrons emitted are focused.
