Abstract

An image-forming apparatus includes a vacuum container having a first plate and a second plate arranged opposite to the first plate, an electron source disposed on the first plate and provided within the vacuum container, and an image-forming member disposed on the second plate within the vacuum container and irradiated with an electron emitted from the electron source. An airtight lead-in terminal has a first end in electrical contact with the image-forming member and a second end leading outside of the vacuum container through a hole in the first plate. The second end leading outside of the vacuum container is held and fixed so as not to protrude from an outer surface of the first plate.
