Abstract

A cathode, an electron gun, and a cathode ray tube include a ferroelectric electron source. The cathode includes a substrate; a lower electrode layer on the substrate; a cathode layer, on the lower electrode layer, the cathode layer including a ferroelectric emitter; an upper electrode layer, on the ferroelectric cathode layer, the upper electrode layer having electron emitting regions comprising a plurality of electron emission holes for passing electrons emitted from the ferroelectric emitter; and a driving electrode layer, supported by the upper electrode layer, for controlling passage of electrons through the electron emitting regions in the upper electrode layer and the driving electrode layer.
