Abstract

A display screen which includes a microtip electron source which is observerable through the microtip support. The screen includes a cathodoluminescent anode, transparent support and cathode conductors formed on the support. The conductors are meshed according to a first pattern which includes openings. A resistive layer formed on the support is meshed according to a second pattern and includes solid areas located in the openings of the first pattern. Microtips are formed on the solid areas. Grids are meshed according to the second pattern in an unmeshed insulating layer which is transparent and extends above the cathode conductors and the resistive layer in between them and the grids.
