The present invention relates to a light emitting device and a display device using the light emitting device as a light source, and more particularly, to a spacer for maintaining a constant distance between a first substrate and a second substrate in a light emitting device.
When all the devices capable of recognizing that light is emitted from the outside are light emitting devices, the light emitting device having an electron emission unit and driving electrodes on a first substrate and an anode electrode and a fluorescent layer on a second substrate is provided. Known. After the edges of the first substrate and the second substrate are integrally bonded by the sealing member, the inner space is exhausted to form a vacuum container together with the sealing member.
In the light emitting device, the electron emission unit emits electrons toward the fluorescent layer, and these electrons excite the fluorescent layer to emit visible light from the fluorescent layer. In this case, the anode electrode is an acceleration electrode for attracting an electron beam, and receives a direct current voltage (anode voltage) of several thousand volts from a power source outside the vacuum vessel to maintain the fluorescent layer in a high potential state.
The light emitting device includes spacers between the first substrate and the second substrate to support the compressive force applied to the vacuum container. Since the fluorescent layer cannot emit light in the region where the spacer is located, the spacers are mainly located at the boundary between the pixel regions.
The above-described light emitting device may be used as a light source in a display device having a light receiving display panel. In this case, a diffusion plate for increasing luminance uniformity is used in front of the light emitting device, and the use of the diffusion plate can overcome the visibility problem of showing spacer positions even when the size of the spacer increases.
However, when the spacer becomes excessively large, in order to solve the problem of visibility of the spacer, the distance between the light emitting device and the diffusion plate or the diffusion plate having a low transmittance should be used. There is a problem that is greatly reduced.
Therefore, the present invention is to solve the above problems, the present invention is to provide a light emitting device having a spacer of the optimum size and to facilitate the installation of the spacer while minimizing the reduction of the luminance by the diffusion plate and the light emitting device as a light source To provide a display device to be used.
A light emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first substrate and a second substrate that are disposed to face each other, an electron emission unit positioned on one surface of the first substrate, and an electron emission unit positioned on one surface of the second substrate. And a spacer positioned between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the spacer has a length of one side of 0.2 to 5 mm.
The spacer may have a rectangular columnar shape having horizontal and vertical sides.
The electron emission unit may include cathode and gate electrodes that are insulated from each other, and electron emission portions electrically connected to the cathode electrode. In this case, the gate electrodes may be positioned above the cathode electrodes, and the spacer may be positioned between the gate electrodes.
The light emitting unit includes an anode electrode and a fluorescent layer located on one surface of the anode electrode, and the anode electrode may receive a voltage of 10 to 15 kV.
A display device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a display panel displaying an image and a light emitting device providing light to the display panel. The light emitting device emits light by the first and second substrates disposed opposite to each other, an electron emission unit located on one surface of the first substrate, and electrons emitted from the electron emission unit located on one surface of the second substrate. The unit includes a spacer positioned between the first substrate and the second substrate, and the spacer has a length of one side of 0.2 to 5 mm.
When the display panel forms the first pixels, the light emitting device may form a smaller number of second pixels than the first pixels and independently control the light emission intensity for each second pixel. The light emitting device may form 2 to 99 pixels in a row direction and a column direction, and the display panel may be a liquid crystal display panel.
