2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, it has been studied to use carbon fiber as an electron source for electron emitters for cold cathodes used in electronic display devices, image forming devices and the like. Regarding the production of the carbonaceous fiber, for example, in JP-A-8-115652, a minute gap between two electrodes set on an insulating substrate is provided.
A production method is disclosed in which a hydrocarbon gas is used as a raw material and carbonaceous fibers produced as a result of pyrolyzing the hydrocarbon gas are deposited. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-112257 describes a method in which carbon ions or carbon cluster ions are ion-implanted into the surface of a base cathode, and a nucleation site formed therefrom is used as a nucleus to synthesize diamond-like carbon in a gas phase. Although these can be technically manufactured, heat treatment of the carbonaceous fiber is difficult because of the problem of thermal influence on the cathode member, so that the electron emission effect of the carbonaceous fiber is limited.
In each case, carbon is directly synthesized on a cathode such as a substrate. Mass production requires know-how and equipment technology unique to the manufacturer, and the process is complicated, so that it is not a method generally used by cathode material manufacturers.

On the other hand, minute carbon nanotubes having a diameter of several tens nm or less have been in the spotlight as electron-emitting materials in recent years. This is usually a graphite tube with a thickness of about 1 nm to 50 nm, and its manufacturing method is to generate a gas on the electrode by arc discharge of the carbon electrode, or to apply a strong laser beam to the carbon electrode, so that the gas in the surrounding gas can be obtained. Generate. The shape of the nanotubes, modern chemistry
As shown in P57 (July 1998), a shape having one sharp tip is common. Carbon nanotubes are chemically stable, mechanically tough, and are being studied as field emission electron sources. For example, Saito et al., Ceramics 33 (1998) No. At 6,
An example is shown in which a large number of these are pasted on a cathode plate and used as a fluorescent display tube, suggesting the possibility of application to energy-saving flat displays and high-definition color CRTs.

[0004] However, no industrial production method has been established for carbon nanotubes, and carbon nanotubes of stable quality have not been supplied at low cost. In recent years, vapor-grown carbon fibers have been mass-produced as those having properties similar to carbon nanotubes. This is Tokuho 0
As shown in the production methods of 4-24320 and Patent 2778434, etc., an organic compound is sprayed into a reaction vessel to generate carbon fibers by pyrolysis, and carbon fibers having a diameter of several μm or less are obtained on a mass production scale. . Examining these shapes in detail reveals the appearance of condensed cyclic carbon surfaces stacked in a ring shape around the fiber axis. Indicates a state substantially perpendicular to the fiber axis direction. As described above, when used as a field electron emission source, the sharper tip forms the condensed cyclic carbon face end face, and the edge is prominent, thereby improving the field electron emission characteristics. In particular, carbonaceous fibers having sharp end faces have not been discovered at present, and if they can be used as an electron emitting material, it is expected that the efficiency of electron emission will be improved.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the definition of the sharp state at the tip of the present invention is such that the fiber diameter of the carbonaceous fiber is d 0 ,
Assuming that the diameter of the tip is d 1 and the distance between the point at which the fiber diameter starts to decrease and the tip is L, d 1 / d 0 <0.5 and 0.5
<Represented by L / d 0. Further, most of the tips of the sharp carbonaceous fibers are present on the fiber central axis, but may be shifted from the fiber central axis as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the structure of the tip is such that a condensed cyclic carbon surface is present in the form of an annual ring around the fiber axis, and the center axis of the tip may or may not have a hollow structure. The carbonaceous fiber having a sharp tip in the present invention may be a mixture of a carbonaceous fiber having sharp edges at both ends of the tip and a carbonaceous fiber having one or both of which are not acute. Regarding the abundance ratio, carbonaceous fibers having sharp ends at both ends occupy 10% or more of the whole.

μm to several mm, preferably the fiber diameter is 0.00
05 μm to 1 μm, and the fiber length is 0.5 μm to 5 μm.
It is about 00 μm. Further, a part of the surface of the carbonaceous fiber may be thinner than other parts due to oxidation or the like. The method of the present invention for producing a carbonaceous fiber having acute angles at both ends is characterized in that a carbonaceous fiber in which a condensed annular carbon surface is laminated in a ring shape around a fiber axis at a temperature of 400 ° C or more and 1200 ° C or less in the presence of oxygen. Heat. If the temperature is lower than 400 ° C., oxidation does not occur and sharpening of the tip does not proceed. On the other hand, when the temperature exceeds 1200 ° C., the rate of oxidation is high, and it is difficult to control the time appropriately. Further, the heat treatment state of the carbonaceous fiber as the material may be fired at 800 ° C. or higher, or may be graphitized at 2000 ° C. or higher. Unfired or ungraphitized products undergo oxidation at temperatures below 400 ° C. and are similarly difficult to control. The processing temperature and time are adjusted according to the heat treatment history of the carbonaceous fiber. After the main oxidation treatment, a graphitization treatment may be performed.
