Image display device
An image display device in which each pixel has a thin-film electron source composed of a lower electrode (which is a signal wire), an electron accelerating layer (which is formed by anodizing the surface of said signal wire), and an upper electrode (which covers said electron accelerating layer and releases electrons), in which the anodized film constituting said electron accelerating layer contains hydrated alumina component and anhydrous alumina component such that their ratio in the side close to the upper electrode is greater than that in the side close to the lower electrode. This structure prevents said thin-film electron source from being deteriorated in diode characteristics by said electron accelerating layer, thereby enhancing the reliability of said image display device.
