Also in this case, by providing the indium layer 32 so that the width gradually decreases from the approximate center of each side of the sealing surface 11a toward the adjacent corner, the same operation and effect as in the above-described embodiment can be obtained. Can be played.
- the sealing is performed with the underlayer 31 and the indium layer 32 formed only on the sealing surface 11 a of the front substrate 11.
- the sealing may be performed with only the base layer 31 and the indium layer 32 formed on only the sealing surface 18a or the sealing surface 11a of the front substrate 11 and the sealing surface 18a of the side wall 18.
- the present invention can be variously modified within the scope of the present invention without being limited to the above-described embodiment.
- the space between the rear substrate 12 and the side wall 18 may be sealed by a sealing layer in which the underlayer 31 and the indium layer 32 are fused as described above.
- the front base A configuration may be adopted in which one peripheral edge of the plate 11 or the rear substrate 12 is formed by bending, and these substrates are directly joined without interposing a side wall.
- a field emission type electron emitting element is used as the electron emitting element.
- the present invention is not limited to this.
- Other electron-emitting devices may be used.
- the present invention is applicable to other image display devices such as a plasma display panel (PDP) and an electorifice luminescence (EL).
- the peripheral portions can be reliably and easily sealed with each other without heating the back substrate and the front substrate more than necessary.
