Description

    The present invention relates to an electron beam apparatus using an electron-emitting device. In particular, the present invention relates to a configuration having an acceleration electrode that accelerates emitted electrons.

  Conventionally, an image display device using an electron-emitting device, an image display device using plasma discharge, an image display device using liquid crystal, and a fluorescent display tube are used for applications such as televisions, computer terminals, advertising media, and signs. A display panel as a thin image display device such as an image display device is used.

  In recent years, a wall-mounted television having a screen size of 40 inches or more has been attracting attention, which takes advantage of the characteristics of a thin image display panel. Among the image display panels, a display device using an electron-emitting device has been attracting attention because of its merchantability of screen visibility and low power consumption.

  The operating principle of a display device using this electron-emitting device is close to that of a conventional CRT (cathode ray tube), which emits electrons inside a vacuum vessel and causes the electrons to collide with a phosphor to which a high voltage is applied to cause a light emission phenomenon. It is.

  Since the value of the applied high voltage reaches about 15 [kV] to 25 [kV] in the CRT and about 10 [kV] to 15 [kV] in the display device using the electron-emitting device, the high voltage is applied. A technique is known in which an electrical ground configuration and an insulation configuration are provided around the phosphor.

  As a conventional example according to the present invention, an electrical grounding structure of a CRT will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 17 is a longitudinal sectional view of a conventional image display device, and shows a sectional view of a general CRT.

  In FIG. 17, reference numeral 1700 denotes a face plate in which a phosphor and a conductive film for image display are formed, 1701 denotes a funnel constituting a CRT vacuum container, 1702 denotes an explosion-proof metal tension band, and 1703 denotes a tension band 1702. The CRT is incorporated into a housing of an image display device such as a television through the attachment ear 1703.

  Reference numeral 1704 denotes a low-resistance film containing carbon or the like formed on the outer wall of the funnel, and is applied over the entire periphery of the funnel part except the periphery of a high-voltage applying part 1707 described later. Reference numeral 1705 denotes a GND cable for grounding the metallic tension band (explosion-proof band) 1702 and the low-resistance film 1704 to the ground of the housing, and 1706 denotes the ground. Specifically, the end of the GND cable is connected to the inside of the housing. The terminal is connected to a ground potential pattern of the electric circuit (not shown).

  Reference numeral 1707 denotes a high voltage application unit for applying a high voltage to the conductive film of the face plate, and has an electrical connection structure inside the insulating cap. Reference numeral 1708 denotes a high voltage cable having one end connected to a high voltage application unit and the other end connected to a high voltage power source (not shown).

  Reference numeral 1709 denotes an electron gun unit having a structure for generating and accelerating thermionic electrons according to the video signal.

As described above, in the CRT, a wide area ground potential portion is formed in the funnel portion between the electron gun and the face plate and the tension band around the face plate, and the ground potential portion is used as a GND cable to ground the electric circuit. Connected to potential.

  Further, the application of high voltage to the conductive film for image formation on the face plate is made up of a portion where the ground potential portion of the previous funnel portion is partially removed.

  As described above, in the conventional earth ground structure of the CRT, the earth ground by the electrically reliable GND cable is performed from the funnel part surrounding the high voltage application part and the peripheral part of the face plate.

  Other background technologies include the following. For example, JP-A-4-163833 discloses a flat-plate electron beam image display device in which a linear hot cathode and a complicated electrode structure are included in a vacuum panel.

  In general, as a method of forming such a vacuum panel, an electron source formed by arranging a plurality of electron-emitting devices in the form of MTX and a drive wiring for driving the electron source are formed on a glass rear. If the plate and the glass faceplate on which the image forming member is formed and both are hermetically sealed with a sealing material through a frame, or if the panel spacing between the two is narrow, only the sealing material is hermetically sealed. Is known. A low-melting glass material is used as the sealing material, and a process of raising the temperature to a high temperature of about 400 ° C. is performed in order to soften the material. At this time, various components such as an atmospheric pressure support spacer and an anode terminal which will be described later are also exposed to a high temperature at the same time.

  The inside of the panel manufactured through these steps is vacuum-processed by a vacuum process to form a vacuum panel. Then, after the step of electrically connecting the external drive circuit and the extraction wiring formed on the rear plate side, the vacuum panel is incorporated in the housing to complete the image display device.

  In an image display device using an electron beam formed in this way, electrons are accelerated between two glasses (a rear plate on which an electron source is formed and a face plate on which an image forming member is formed). In a state where a voltage of about several hundred volts to several tens of kV is applied, an image signal is given from the external signal processing circuit through the rear plate take-out wiring to emit electrons at a desired position, and between the two glasses Electrons are accelerated by the potential difference at, and the image forming member of the face plate emits light to obtain an image. In the case of using a normal phosphor as an image forming member, the above-described voltage is preferably as high as possible, and preferably at least about several kV, in order to obtain light emission with a preferable color. In order to supply a voltage of about several kV to the above-described image forming member, a connection structure of a voltage supply terminal considering electric discharge and high voltage is required.

  Such an image display device has a structure including an anode take-out portion that supplies a high pressure to the image forming member.

  In the structure of the anode terminal described in Patent Document 1, a high voltage supplied from a high voltage generating power source of the image display device is supplied to a rear plate side anode take-out portion by a high voltage cable, and the face plate is passed through an introduction line. It is connected to the wiring drawn out from the image forming member formed on the surface plate and supplied to the image forming member of the face plate.

  Moreover, there exists patent document 2 as another background art. Here, a configuration in which a high voltage is supplied through an electron source substrate provided with an electron-emitting device is disclosed.

  Moreover, there exists patent document 3. FIG. This discloses a configuration in which a ground terminal of a control board of a liquid crystal panel is brought into contact with a clip, and further, the clip is brought into contact with a frame member to be grounded.

Patent Document 4 discloses the structure of a CRT ground member.

  In addition, the conductive contact member can suitably employ a configuration in which the lead portion of the first wiring on the electron source substrate is sandwiched with the electron source substrate. In particular, the conductive contact member has opposing portions facing each other, and when the electron source substrate is not sandwiched, the opposing interval between the tips of the opposing portions is larger than the plate thickness of the electron source substrate. If a wide gap between the portions in contact with the first wiring lead-out portion is smaller than the plate thickness of the electron source substrate, it is possible to easily and surely connect and easily supply a predetermined potential.

The connection between the conductive contact member and the electric cable can be suitably realized by soldering. Further, when the first wiring is connected to the ground via the conductive contact member, a configuration in which the conductive contact member is electrically connected to the ground of the power source of the electron beam apparatus can be suitably employed. Since the configuration for grounding the power supply and the configuration for grounding the first wiring can be made common, it is preferable.

  In each of the above inventions, a configuration in which the lead portion of the first wiring and the lead portion of the drive wiring are connected to a common flexible printed circuit can be suitably employed.

  The present application also relates to an image display apparatus comprising the above-described electron beam apparatus as one of the inventions of the image display apparatus, and a phosphor that emits light when irradiated with electrons emitted from the electron-emitting devices of the electron beam apparatus.

Further, according to one of the inventions according to the present application, it is possible to reliably and / or easily and / or improve the supply of a predetermined potential, particularly a ground potential, to the structure for suppressing abnormal discharge.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. The following points are particularly considered in the following embodiments.

  In the case of a flat-type thin image display device, the risk of discharge is increased. When a discharge occurs, an extremely large current flows instantaneously. However, when a part of the current flows into the drive wiring of the electron source, a large voltage is applied to the electron-emitting device of the electron source. If this voltage exceeds the voltage applied in normal operation, the electron emission characteristics may be deteriorated, and the device may be destroyed. In this case, a part of the image is not displayed, the quality of the image is deteriorated, and the image display device cannot be used.

  On the other hand, the flat type image display device is required to be lightweight because it can be wall-mounted. The narrow frame (frame = area outside the image area) greatly contributes not only to product value for the viewer but also to weight reduction. However, in a flat-type image display device to which a high voltage is applied, since there is a risk of discharge, conventionally, it has not been possible to make it extremely narrow in order to secure a creepage distance.

  Details of this embodiment will be described below. FIG. 1 is an exploded oblique schematic view schematically showing an example of the configuration of the image display apparatus of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view showing a cross section of the anode terminal portion viewed from the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1, and FIGS. 3A to 3E are diagrams for explaining a manufacturing process of the rear plate substrate and use a part of the electron source region. It was. FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the periphery of the anode terminal portion of the rear plate.

  Reference numeral 1 denotes a rear plate that serves as an electron source substrate for forming an electron source and a part of a vacuum vessel. Reference numeral 2 denotes an electron source region, in which a plurality of electron emission elements such as field emission elements and surface conduction electron emission elements are arranged. The drive wiring connected to the element is formed so that it can be driven according to the purpose.

The drive wiring has a portion located in the electron source region and lead-out portions 3-1, 3-2, and is taken out of the image display device by the drive wiring lead-out portions 3-1, 3-2, and the electron source Connected to the driving circuit. 11 is a face plate on which an image forming member is formed, 12 is an image forming member including a phosphor that emits light by electrons emitted from the electron source region 2 and a metal back that is an acceleration electrode, and 100 is a metal back of the image forming member 12. 4 is a lead wire formed by baking Ag (silver) paste drawn to supply an accelerating potential, and 4 is an outer frame sandwiched between the rear plate 1 and the face plate 11, and an electron source drive wire lead portion Reference numeral 3 denotes a joint between the outer frame 4 and the rear plate 1, which is embedded in, for example, a low-melting glass (frit glass 201) and pulled out. As materials for the rear plate 1, the face plate 11 and the outer frame 4, various materials are used depending on conditions, such as blue plate glass, blue plate glass having a SiO2 film formed on the surface, glass with reduced Na content, and quartz glass.

  Reference numeral 101 denotes an introduction line that is a potential supply path for introducing a potential supplied from an external high-voltage power source. Reference numeral 102 denotes an introduction line 101 that is preliminarily sealed with a brazing material such as Ag-Cu or Au-Ni. And an insulating member integrally formed at the center of the columnar shape.

  The material of the insulating member 102 is a material close to the thermal expansion coefficient of the rear plate 1 material, such as ceramics such as alumina and glass with a low Na content, and is a material having an insulating property that can withstand high voltage, and has a high temperature. In this case, it is preferable to select a material that can prevent cracking at the joint between the insulating member 102 and the rear plate 1 due to a difference in thermal expansion.

  A configuration other than the high voltage terminal having such a configuration may be used, and the configuration is not limited to this configuration. In order to ensure the connection between the lead-in line 101 and the lead-out wiring 100, a connecting member such as an Ag paste or a mechanical spring structure may be arranged between the lead-in line 101 and the lead-out wiring 100.

  The lead-in wire 101 and the insulating member 102 constitute an airtight lead-in terminal 103 having an integrated structure.

  A hole 104 is formed in the rear plate 1 and penetrates the airtight introduction terminal 103. The airtight introduction terminal 103 and the through hole 104 formed in the rear plate 1 are fixed by an adhesive member such as a frit glass 201 that can be airtight.

  The through holes 104 are formed at four corners of the rear plate where the driving wiring lead portions 3-1 and 3-2 are not formed and are arranged inside the outer frame 4.

  Furthermore, as a discharge suppression structure when a high voltage of several kV is applied through the lead-in line 101, the independent wiring 105, which is the first wiring, is introduced to a position where the drive wiring lead portions 3-1 and 3-2 are not provided. The wire 101 is formed in a ring shape so as to concentrically surround a position (via portion) that penetrates the insulating member 102.

  By forming in a ring shape, even if an electrode edge or the like is formed in the periphery of the ring, a configuration in which abnormal discharge hardly occurs can be obtained. In addition, although the polygonal shape can be considered about the surrounding shape, a ring shape is preferable from a viewpoint of electric field concentration. Moreover, it is desirable to completely surround, but a part of the clearance may be vacant. Further, the independent wiring 105 does not have to be enclosed, and it is preferable that the independent wiring 105 is provided at least in a portion where the distance between the via portion and the drive wiring is the shortest.

However, in the case of a narrow frame, it is desirable to take into account the influence of the processing burr of the outer frame 4, the protruding shape of the frit sealing material, the shape of the drive wiring, and the like, particularly a completely surrounding configuration. Next, a potential regulating structure in which the independent wiring 105 and the introduction line 101 of the hermetic introduction terminal 103 are electrically connected by a high resistance film (= breakdown voltage structure 106) is arranged.

  As another pressure-resistant structure, it is possible to take a form such as an increase in creepage distance due to formation of an uneven structure.

  Since the withstand voltage structure 106 can secure a sufficient withstand voltage for a desired high voltage, a discharge current flows into the electron source region due to discharge, and damage such as deterioration of the element can be prevented. At the same time, since discharge can be suppressed even if the high-pressure introduction portion forming region is minimized, the distance from the image forming member 12 inside the vacuum to the inside of the outer frame 4 can be reduced. Examples of the material of the high resistance film include film materials such as nitride, oxide, and carbide.

  Next, 5 is an exhaust hole for evacuation, and 6 is a glass tube disposed at a position corresponding to the exhaust hole 5, which is connected to an external vacuum forming apparatus (not shown) and completes the vacuum processing for forming the electron-emitting device. It is for post-sealing. In addition, if the method of assembling an image display apparatus in a vacuum apparatus is taken, the above-mentioned glass tube 6 and the exhaust hole 5 will become unnecessary.

  In addition, the type of the electron-emitting device constituting the electron source used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as properties such as electron emission characteristics and device size are suitable for the intended image display apparatus. . Thermionic emission devices, or cold cathode devices such as field emission devices, semiconductor electron emission devices, MIM type electron emission devices, and surface conduction type electron emission devices can be used.

  The surface conduction electron-emitting devices shown in the examples described later are preferably used in the present invention, but are the same as those described in the above-mentioned application by the present applicant, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-235255. is there.

  Hereinafter, based on an Example, the characteristic of this invention is demonstrated in detail.

The image forming member 12 includes a stripe-shaped phosphor, a black stripe, and a metal back that is an acceleration electrode. Phosphors and black stripes were formed by printing, and then an Al film was formed thereon as a metal back by vacuum deposition. Reference numeral 4 denotes an outer frame made of a soda-lime glass material sandwiched between the rear plate 1 and the face plate 11, and the drive wiring lead-out portions 3-1 and 3-2 are joined at the junction between the outer frame 4 and the rear plate 1 (Japan).

The location of the through hole 104 will be described later.

  Next, the procedure for creating the rear plate 1 will be described in further detail with reference to FIGS.

(Process-a)
A 0.5 μm SiO ₂ layer was formed by sputtering on the surface of the washed soda-lime glass, and the rear plate 1 was obtained. Subsequently, a circular through hole 104 having a diameter of 2 mm for introducing a high voltage introduction terminal was formed by an ultrasonic machine as shown in FIGS.

  The formation location is a corner where the electron source region 2 and the drive wiring lead-out portions 3-1 and 3-2 are not formed as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, and a position 6 mm away from the independent wiring described later is the center of the hole. And arranged.

  Element electrodes 21 and 22 of surface conduction electron-emitting devices are formed on the rear plate by sputtering film formation and photolithography. The material is a laminate of 5 nm Ti and 100 nm Ni. The element electrode spacing was 2 μm. (FIG. 3A)

(Process-b)
Subsequently, an Ag paste was printed in a predetermined shape and baked to form a Y-direction wiring 23 as a modulation wiring. The wiring is extended to the outside of the electron source formation region, and the extended portion becomes the electron source drive wiring lead-out portion 3-2 in FIG.

(FIG. 3B) When forming the Y-direction wiring, the independent wiring 105, the independent wiring drawing portion A107, and the independent wiring drawing portion B108 were simultaneously formed as shown in FIG. The independent wiring 105 has a width of 0.6 mm and a thickness of 10 μm. The diameter of the independent wiring 105 was φ6.3 mm (the center of the wiring).

(Process-c)
Next, the insulating layer 24 is similarly formed by a printing method using a paste containing PbO as a main component and a glass binder. This is to insulate the Y-direction wiring 23 from the X-direction wiring described later, and was formed to have a thickness of about 20 μm. The element electrode 22 is provided with a notch 24C so as to connect the X-direction wiring and the element electrode. (Fig. 3C)

(Process-d)
Subsequently, an X-direction wiring 25 which is a scanning wiring is formed on the insulating layer 24 (FIG. 3D). The method is the same as that for Y-direction wiring, and the width of the wiring is 300 μm and the thickness is about 10 μm. The wiring is extended to the outside of the electron source formation region, and the extended portion becomes the electron source drive wiring lead-out portion 3-1 in FIG.

  Subsequently, an organic Pd solution is applied and baked at 300 ° C. for 12 minutes in the atmosphere to form a PdO fine particle film 26. (Fig. 3E)

  The rear plate 1 produced by the above process has regions where no wiring is formed at four corners as shown in FIGS. The independent wiring 105 is coated with Ag paste material in a printing process so as to concentrically surround the lead-in wire 101 of the airtight lead-in lead terminal 103 in a region surrounded by the drive wire lead-out portions 3-1 and 3-2 and the outer frame at one corner. Firing and forming and arranging.

  A high resistance film (alloy nitride film of W and Ge) is placed between the lead-in wire 101 of the airtight lead-in terminal 103 and the independent wire 105, and the space between the lead-in wire 105 and the lead-in wire 105 of the airtight lead-in terminal 103 is high by vacuum deposition. It is formed so as to be electrically connected through a resistance film. Note that the lead-out wiring 100 of the face plate 11 is located at a position facing the through hole 104.

  The above W and Ge alloy nitride films were formed by simultaneously sputtering a W and Ge target in a mixed atmosphere of argon and nitrogen using a sputtering apparatus. In order to form a film at the position of the independent wiring 105 in FIG. 4, a metal mask produced by etching processing in the shape of the independent wiring 105 was used to form a film at a desired position. The composition was adjusted by changing the electric power applied to each target, and the optimum resistance value was obtained.

  More specifically, the back pressure of the sputtering chamber was 2 × 10 −5 Pa, and a mixed gas of argon and nitrogen was flowed so that the nitrogen partial pressure was 30% during sputtering.

The total sputtering gas pressure was 0.45 Pa. By applying high frequency power of 15 W to the W target and 150 W to the Ge target and adjusting the sputtering time, an alloy nitride film of W and Ge was produced. The produced alloy nitride film of W and Ge (film thickness is 43 nm, specific resistance is 250 Ωcm, sheet resistance is 5.8 × 10 ⁹ Ω / □) (film thickness is 200 nm, specific resistance is 2.4 × 10 ⁵ Ωcm) Sheet resistance is 1.2 × 10 ¹² Ω / □) (specific resistance 4.5 × 10 ⁸ Ω at a film thickness of 80 nm)
cm and sheet resistance of 5.6 × 10 ¹⁵ Ω / □). In this reference example, the film is formed only between the lead-in line 101 and the independent wiring 115, but the film may be formed on the outer peripheral portion of the independent wiring 105.

  Next, using the rear plate 1, the face plate 11, the outer frame 4 members, etc., a panel is formed, that is, a vacuum container is formed. When assembling, the phosphors of the image forming member 12 of the face plate 11 and the electron-emitting devices of the rear plate 1 are carefully aligned so as to correspond to each other.

  In addition, in the state where the airtight introduction terminal 103 and the glass tube 6 are installed and the above-described alignment is performed, the furnace is put into a heating furnace to give a temperature of 420 degrees, and the face plate 11, the rear plate 1, and the outer frame 4. The frit glass 201 disposed at the contact position is melted.

  Thereafter, the assembly is completed after cooling. In this state, it was possible to form an airtight and maintainable panel having the face plate 11, the rear plate 1, the outer frame 4, the glass tube 6, and the airtight introduction terminal 103. Thereafter, the glass tube 6 is connected to an evacuation apparatus, the inside of the panel is evacuated, and a forming process and an activation process are performed on each fine particle film 26.

  Subsequently, the exhaust in the panel is continued and baking is performed to remove organic molecules remaining in the vacuum panel. Finally, the glass tube 6 is heat-welded and sealed. The vacuum panel is completed through the above steps.

  Next, in order to connect the driving wiring lead portions 3-1 and 3-2 to the driving circuit board and the independent wiring leading portion A107 drawn from the independent wiring 105 to an external ground terminal, an FPC (flexible printed circuit) is provided. 401 is electrically connected to the position of FIG. 5 and fixed. At this time, an FPC mounting apparatus is used.

  In order to connect to a more stable external ground terminal, the clip connected to the ground terminal is also sandwiched between the rear plates 102 in the independent wiring lead portion B108.

  Thereafter, the flat panel image display device is completed by incorporating the vacuum panel into the casing and connecting the electric board and the FPC.

  FIG. 6A is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a flat-type image display device in which a vacuum container is incorporated in a housing.

  FIG. 6B shows a side sectional view of FIG. 6A viewed from the direction of arrow A. FIG. 6C shows a longitudinal sectional view of FIG.

In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to each part similar to each embodiment mentioned above, the description, those structures, a manufacturing method, etc. are abbreviate | omitted.

  The glass surface of the rear plate 1 between the lead-in wire 101 of the airtight lead-in terminal 103 and the independent wiring 105 formed concentrically so as to surround it is machined to form a pressure-resistant structure 701.

  The structure performs a double digging process concentrically with respect to the center of the airtight introduction terminal 103.

  The depth was 0.5 mm with respect to the glass thickness of 2.8 mm, and the curvature radius of the processing was 0.5 mmR. The pitch was 1.5 mm. With this configuration, the creepage distance can be substantially increased. When the vacuum panel having the pressure-resistant structure 701 was incorporated and displayed as a flat image display device as shown in FIG. 6, it could be driven stably without generation of discharge.

  As described above, according to this configuration, the pressure-resistant structure is formed on the rear plate 1 side in advance, so that the vacuum panel forming process can be minimized, and the light-weight flat-type image display device can be combined. Can be offered as.

(Second reference example)
Since the vacuum container of the electron beam apparatus used in this reference example is a vacuum container in which the distance between the rear plate and the face plate is only a few [mm], the acceleration potential is supplied to the acceleration electrode for image formation on the face plate. It is difficult to take a sufficient space for providing the structure. Narrowing the space increases the possibility of abnormal discharge.

Further, the vacuum container was sandwiched and supported by the front frame and the middle frame via an elastic body to fix the position, and the contact position between the contact and the independent wiring lead-out portion was adjusted.

  The structure related to the vacuum vessel and the electron emission, such as the electron source substrate, the electron emission element, the acceleration electrode substrate, the acceleration electrode, the drive wiring, and the acceleration potential supply path used in this reference example, is the first reference example and the first embodiment. It is the same.

  On the other hand, a black stripe film for improving contrast, a phosphor film for each of the three primary colors RGB, and a conductive metal back film serving as an acceleration electrode are formed on the opposite side of the face plate (FP) on the vacuum gap side. ing.

  The operation of this electron-emitting device is such that electrons are emitted from the electron-emitting device by applying a voltage of more than a dozen [V] between the X-direction wiring and Y-direction wiring selected by the electric mounting circuit (drive circuit), and the face plate vacuum The emitted electrons are accelerated by a plus potential (acceleration potential) of tens [kV] supplied from an external voltage power source to the metal back film on the air gap side and collide with the phosphor film to emit light.

After light metal is extruded and molded, it is cut into a predetermined length and screwed to form a substantially rectangular frame. Further, it is electrically connected to the ground of the power supply unit.

  Reference numeral 97 denotes a conductive contact member, which is a contact having a conductivity and a spring property obtained by bending a thin plate such as stainless steel or plated phosphor bronze. It is fixed to the inner wall surface of the previous front frame 95, and the other end is in electrical contact with the leading portion 108 of the previous independent wiring.

  A light metal such as aluminum or magnesium having electrical conductivity and rigidity is extruded and formed, and then cut into a predetermined length and screwed to form a substantially rectangular frame-shaped middle frame.

  A back elastic body 93 is made of an elastic material such as urethane foam resin or silicone foam resin, and sandwiches and supports the RP1 of the vacuum vessel by the middle frame 92.

  Reference numeral 90 denotes a driver circuit which generates an electric drive signal for image display (line-sequential selection drive and modulation is pulse width modulation). An electric element such as an IC, a capacitor, or a connector is mounted on a glass epoxy substrate. Yes. 91 is made of an elastic material such as urethane foam resin or silicon foam resin, and is a front elastic body for sandwiching and supporting the FP11 of the vacuum vessel by the outer frame 96, and has a frame shape covering the entire four sides of the FP11. .

  Next, a detailed description of the above configuration will be given. The image display panel of the reference example of the present invention comprises a vacuum container made of a glass material.

  Electrons are emitted from the electron source region 2 formed on the RP1 side, and a high potential of a dozen [kV] is applied to the image forming unit 12 (metal back layer) inside the FP 11 to accelerate the electrons and thereby form an image forming unit. The phosphor is caused to emit light by colliding with the phosphor 6 and an image is displayed. Since the electron-emitting device is driven near the ground potential, the acceleration voltage is substantially a dozen [kV].

  The glass of RP1 and FP11 constituting the vacuum vessel has a plate thickness of about 2.8 [mm], and the distance between the vacuum parts of RP1 and FP11 is about 2 [mm]. This is a thin and lightweight image display unit that is one-tenth the weight.

  Further, in order to display a moving image of a television or a personal computer, an electric drive signal (modulation signal) generated by the driver circuit 90 is transmitted through the Y direction FPC 401 -Y and the Y drive wiring lead-out unit 3-2 to the electron source region 2. To the surface conduction electron-emitting device.

  On the other hand, the electric drive signal (scan signal) generated by the X-direction driver circuit is transmitted to the surface conduction electron-emitting device in the electron source region 2 via the X-direction FPC 401 -X and the X drive wiring lead-out part 3-1. As a result, the emission and non-emission of electrons are controlled from the previous surface conduction electron-emitting devices constituting each pixel.

  With the above configuration, in the image display unit of the present reference example, the CRT vacuum vessel that requires a gap for accelerating and deflecting electrons emitted from 1 to 3 electron guns is thinned. Is possible.

  The acceleration potential for causing the electrons emitted from the surface conduction electron-emitting device to collide with the phosphor is as follows: a high-voltage cable 605 (see FIG. 6) from the high-voltage power supply 600, an introduction line 101 of RP1, and a high-voltage lead-out line 100 of FP11. Is applied to the metal back layer of the image forming unit 12.

  Since a potential of more than a dozen [kV] is applied to the above-described potential supply path, a pressure-resistant structure is required around each member and the member. This breakdown voltage structure has the same configuration as that of the first reference example and the first embodiment.

  In this reference example, in order to ensure the ground potential, the independent wiring 105 and the Y direction FPC 401 -Y and the X direction FPC 401 -X are connected to connect to the ground pattern of the driver circuit 40 or the X direction driver circuit. At the same time, the independent wiring lead-out portion 108 drawn out from the ring-shaped independent wiring 105 is brought into contact with a contactor 97 having a spring property, which is a metal having elasticity as a conductive contact member, which is a constituent element of the present invention. It was electrically connected to the ground of the power source via the front frame 96.

  The contact 97 is securely fixed by the screw 98 to the female screw opened in the front frame 96 using the fixing hole 97c.

  Further, in a state where the vacuum container is incorporated in the front frame 96, the force of the contact portion 97a always pressing the independent wiring drawing portion 108 on the surface of the RP1 works by the spring portion 97b of the contactor 97. Even if there is an electrical connection, the electrical connection is maintained, and when the vacuum vessel is assembled to the front frame 96, if the contact 97 is fixed to the front frame 96 in advance with the screw 98, wiring work such as soldering can be performed. In addition, since the electrical connection structure is completed after assembly, the assembly workability is also good.

  In addition, even if it is not the shape of the contactor 97, if it is a structure which has electroconductivity, spring property (elasticity), and an electrical contact part (fixed part) to a flame | frame (front frame 96), it will not restrict to this.

  In addition, the support structure of the vacuum vessel of the reference example of the present invention is such that the four sides of the vacuum vessel are sandwiched between the middle frame 92 and the front frame 96 via the rear elastic body 93 and the front elastic body 91.

As a support structure of the thin image display device, a method of adhering the rear glass of the image display unit (corresponding to RP1 of the present invention) to the frame of the housing with a double-sided tape can be adopted, but according to the structure of this reference example, The front frame 96 and the middle frame 92 can be fixed to each other with screws. When disassembling, the vacuum container can be removed by removing the screws for connecting and fixing, so that workability is good.

  Further, the middle frame 92 and the front frame 96 are formed by cutting a light metal such as aluminum or magnesium having a thickness of less than 2 [mm] extruded into a predetermined length and screwing it into a substantially rectangular frame shape. Since the position of the vacuum vessel with respect to the front frame 96 is not easily fluctuated while protecting the vacuum vessel against an external mechanical load, the displacement of the contact 97 and the independent wiring lead-out portion 108 and the contact 97 Therefore, the grounding force can be surely grounded in the ground potential required region around the airtight introduction terminal 103 in the vacuum vessel.

  Further, in the reference example of the present invention, a base material which is formed of a conductive metal material such as the front frame 96 and is configured to be grounded to ground, but is not conductive like a resin material. Even when the frame is formed by the above, it can be used in the same manner as the conductive base frame (metal frame) by subjecting the necessary surface (for example, the inner surface) to the conductive film treatment.

  As described above, in this reference example, in the path for applying a high potential from the high voltage power source to the accelerating electrode inside the vacuum vessel, the lead wire is electrically connected around the lead wire 101 in the vacuum vessel. The pressure-resistant structure 106, which is a high-resistance film, and the ring-like ground potential independent wiring 105 that is electrically connected to the high-resistance film are formed around the high-voltage film 106 so that abnormal discharge can be suppressed. As a result, the electron-emitting device can be prevented from being deteriorated or destroyed.

  Further, in order to ensure the ground potential of the independent wiring, the ground wiring of the X and Y direction FPCs 401-X and 401-Y to be grounded to the ground pattern of the X and Y direction driver circuit and a part of the independent wiring are connected. Further, the contact 97 fixed to the front frame grounded to the ground of the power supply unit and the lead-out unit 108 of the independent wiring 105 are brought into contact with each other.

  In particular, since the contact that is screwed to the front frame 96 has a spring property, the independent wiring lead-out portion 108 from the independent wiring 105 is always pressed. For this reason, by incorporating the vacuum vessel into the front frame, it is electrically connected without performing wiring work such as soldering, and the electrical connection is maintained even if there is a change in environmental temperature or aging after incorporation.

  Further, the image display unit is sandwiched and supported via a front elastic body 91 and a back elastic body 93 as a cushioning material which is an elastic component of the front frame 96 on the front side and the middle frame 92 on the back side. Therefore, the image display unit is protected from an external mechanical load, and the positions of the front frame 96 and the image display unit are fixed. The contact position is also stable.

(Third reference example)
In this reference example, in order to ensure the ground potential of the independent wiring, the ground wiring of the FPC that is grounded to the ground potential of the driver circuit and the independent wiring are connected, and the ground cable grounded to the ground of the power supply unit is soldered. The structure which pinched | interposed the drawer | drawing-out part of the independent wiring with the contact plate is shown. The ground cable and the contact plate are attached in the middle of the manufacturing process of the image display device, and are also used for driving inspection of the image display unit, and grounded to the ground of the power source unit at the end of product assembly.

  Hereinafter, a third reference example of the image display device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 11 is an external view of an image display unit representing a third reference example of the image display device according to the present invention, and FIG. 12 is a longitudinal sectional view of an essential part of the image display unit of the image display device shown in FIG. .

  11 and 12, reference numeral 1100 denotes a structure in which the RP1 constituting the vacuum container of the image display panel using the electron-emitting device of the present invention is sandwiched from the front and the rear and the independent wiring drawing portion 108 on the RP1 is electrically contacted. The contact plate is made of a material having conductivity and spring properties obtained by bending a thin plate (plate thickness: 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm) such as stainless steel or plating treatment (rust prevention treatment) phosphor bronze.

  Reference numeral 1100a denotes a tip portion of a contact plate having a symmetrical shape in the longitudinal sectional view of the main part of FIG. 12, 1100b denotes a contact portion of the contact plate, 1100c denotes a spring portion of the contact plate, and 1100d denotes a terminal portion of the contact plate.

  1101 is an earth cable, one end is electrically and mechanically connected to the contact plate 1100 by soldering, a terminal 1102 having a through hole is connected to the other end, and a screw 1103 is inserted into the through hole of the terminal 1102. ing.

  Since the screw 1103 has a structure for fixing the terminal 1102 using a female screw portion provided in the front frame 96, the ground cable 1101 and the contact plate are connected via the front frame 96 electrically connected to the ground of the power supply unit. 1100 and independent wiring lead-out portion 108 are all at ground potential.

  The characteristics of the above configuration will be described. The contact plate 1100, which is a metal having elasticity as a conductive contact member as a constituent element of the present invention sandwiching the RP1, has a tip 1100a that is wider than the thickness of the RP1 even in a state before being inserted into the RP1. The contact plate 1100 has a widely open shape, and performs a guide function when the contact plate 1100 is inserted from the outer peripheral direction of the RP1, for example, from the lower side of FIG.

  In addition, the contact portion 1100b is narrower than the thickness of RP1 before being inserted into RP1 (the thickness of RP1 is 1.5 [mm] to 2 [mm] with respect to 2.8 [mm]. mm]), and after being inserted into RP1, it is spread by the plate thickness of RP1.

  That is, the contact plate 1100 has end portions that face each other, the opening width between the end portions of the end portions is wider than the plate thickness of RP1, and the middle portion of the end portions is narrower than the plate thickness of RP1. Yes.

  The spring portion 1100c has a shape for constantly applying pressure to the contact portion 1100b expanded by the plate thickness of the RP1 in a direction sandwiching the RP1, and the terminal portion 1100d has a flat portion for soldering the ground cable 1101. However, in order to improve the reliability of connection, a hole for passing the core wire of the ground cable 1101 or a recess for winding may be provided.

  In this reference example, the contact plate 1100 and the ground cable 1101 sandwiching RP1 are used for grounding the independent wiring lead-out portion 108 provided in the RP1 constituting the vacuum vessel. In the process of manufacturing the image display device, the vacuum vessel may be electrically driven by an image display inspection or the like before assembling the vacuum container on the front frame. Also in this case, it is preferable to supply the ground potential to the independent wiring lead-out portion 108 of RP1.

  The above object can be achieved by connecting the terminal 1102 at one end of the ground cable 1101 to the ground terminal of the driving circuit in the manufacturing process. That is, the contact plate 1100 and the grounding cable 1101 sandwiching the RP1 are mounted from the middle process of manufacturing the image display device, and can be used for supplying the ground potential in the manufacturing process. Thereafter, it can be reconnected to the front frame 96 at the time of final assembly and used as a product.

  In addition, according to this structure, a method of adhering RP1 to the rear frame of the housing with a double-sided tape can be suitably employed as a method for supporting the vacuum vessel, and the vacuum vessel can be installed from the front and rear as in the second reference example. It is possible to support various vacuum vessel support structures, such as a sandwiching structure.

  As described above, in this reference example, abnormal discharge can be suppressed. In addition, an X and Y direction FPC ground wiring and an independent wiring 105 are connected to the ground pattern of the X and Y direction driver circuit, and a terminal cable is screwed to the front frame that is grounded to the power source. Since the independent wiring lead-out portion 108 is sandwiched and brought into contact with the contact plate 1100 with the other end soldered, the ground potential of the independent wiring can be reliably defined.

  In addition, the contact plate 1100 and the ground cable, which are electrically connected by sandwiching the independent wiring lead-out portion 108, can be attached during the manufacturing process of the image display device and used for driving inspection of the image display portion. Even after product assembly, the independent wiring lead-out portion can be grounded without any new connection work.

  Of course, the electrical connection is maintained even if there is a change in environmental temperature or aging. In addition, when the grounding structure is adopted, the vacuum vessel can be supported by being sandwiched between the front and rear frames, and the RP can be supported by being bonded to the housing frame. .

After molding by extruding a light metal such as aluminum or magnesium The frame is cut into a predetermined length, and a substantially rectangular frame is formed by screwing. Further, it is electrically connected to the ground of the power supply unit.

  A front elastic body 134 is made of an elastic material such as urethane foam resin or silicon foam resin, and is molded integrally with the contact needle 135 in order to support the contact needle 135 as a connecting member at the center portion.
