ABSTRACT:
An electron emitting device is provided for use in a flat display, an electron beam drawing apparatus, a CRT display and so on. The electron emitting device comprises a first layer having a first bandgap, a second layer formed on the first layer and having the first bandgap, a third layer formed on the second layer and having a second bandgap, which is narrower than the first bandgap, and a fourth layer formed on the third layer and having an electron emitting surface. According to this structure, a high electron emission efficiency can be obtained.
