(54) Electron emission device


(57) An electron emission device includes electron emission regions formed on a first substrate, a driving electrode for controlling emission of electrons emitted from the electron emission regions, and a focusing electrode for focusing the electrons and having an opening through which the electrons pass. A first insulating layer is disposed between the driving electrode and the focusing electrode. The focusing electrode and the insulating layer satisfy at least one of the following two conditions: 1.0 ≤ |Vf/t| ≤ 6.0; and 0.2 ≤ |Vf/Wh| ≤ 0.4, where Vf (V) indicates the voltage applied to the focusing electrode, t (µm) indicates the thickness of the insulating layer, and Wh (µm) indicates the width of the opening of the focusing electrode.
