According to the present invention, a part of the electrons emitted from the emitter is caused to impinge on another emitter which is not in an emission state to clean the emitter. For this purpose, the emitters are electrically divided into a plurality of groups so as to form a pair, and when one group of emitters emits electrons under normal conditions, the other group of emitters that are paired with the group emits electrons. And a positive potential equal to or higher than that of the gates of the emitters in the group. If such a driving state is switched for each group of emitters, a part of the electrons emitted from one group of emitters collides with the other group of emitters and cleans them. Electrons clean one emitter.
