Abstract

The present invention provides a method of carrying out an electric discharge processing to an electron tube having a field emission cold cathode device, wherein at least a high voltage electrode of the electron tube is maintained in a high voltage range, whilst all electrodes of the electron tube except for the at least high voltage electrode are maintained in a lower voltage range than the high voltage range.
