Since the light emission principle is the same as that of CRT, it is suitable for displaying moving pictures by the brightness and wide viewing angle and response speed comparable to CRT, and since there is no deflection part unique to CRT, thin and lightweight design is possible.
- CRT Cathode Ray Tube
- a field emission display device has, for example, two insulating substrates opposed to each other with a gap of about 200 ⁇ m to 1 mm, and a plurality of line-like force-sword electrodes are provided on one of the substrates.
