Abstract

A field emission type cold cathode structure and an electron gun using the cathode are provided. The electron gun is capable of preventing electron emission error due to impurities etc. The electron gun includes a fusible metal layer formed between a base electrode and each emitter chip, a focus electrode formed on the upper portion of a gate electrode with an insulating layer therebetween, and a control electrode formed on the upper portion of a focus electrode with an insulating layer therebetween. The electron gun so constructed can reduce power for heating the cathode, display data and a picture instantly on a screen, simplify a structure of an electron lens etc. focusing an electron beam, and improving precision in electron gun assembly.
