Abstract

A matrix-type cold-cathode electron source device includes a mesh structure (8) on which through-holes (9) are formed and drive portions (7a, 7b). The through-hole (9) has an opening diameter of 1/N or less of the alignment pitch of electron source elements (4) and the drive portions (7a, 7b) drive the mesh structure (8) every 1/N of the alignment pitch of the electron source elements (4). Thus it is possible to increase a resolution without reducing the size of an electron source.
