Abstract

A secondary electron amplification structure employing carbon nanotube and a plasma display panel and back light using the same are provided. The secondary electron amplification structure is formed by stacking a MgO film, a film of a fluoride such as MgF2, CaF2 or LiF, or a film of an oxide such as Al2O3, ZnO, CaO, SrO, SiO2 or La2O3 on a carbon nanotube (CNT), which functions to increase the secondary electron emission coefficient caused by electrons or ions.
