Abstract

A flat display is provided, which includes: a cathode plate including emitter electrode lines each having emitter tips provided in pixel areas, and gate electrode lines crossing the emitter electrode lines at the pixel areas; and an anode plate spaced a predetermined distance from the cathode plate in an opposed relation and having an anode conductive layer and fluorescent layers formed on the anode conductive layer in the respective pixel areas; the emitter electrode lines and the gate electrode lines each having transparent portions formed of a transparent conductive film at least in the pixel areas so that light emission from the fluorescent layers can be viewed through the transparent portions.
