DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS (Embodiment 1) A video game machine according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1A, is an image display comprising a flat panel display incorporated in a game machine main body (housing) 90. 100 and the game machine body 9
0, which is a game operation operation unit including a keyboard-like operation panel installed on a table unit 90a of the first game unit 90, and has a function as a driver for driving the image display 100, and is based on operation information from the operation unit 103. Image display 100
And a control unit 101 for displaying a game image. Here, the control unit 101 is configured by a microcomputer or the like, and reads a game image from the storage unit 46 in which the game image to be displayed on the image display 100 is stored in advance. The control unit 10
1 is provided in the game machine main body 90.

In this embodiment, the image display 1
As shown in FIG. 1B, an FED (Fieid Emission Display) including a face plate 30 and a rear plate 20 disposed to face the face plate 30 is employed as the flat panel display constituting the 00. The image display 100 is not limited to the FED,
Any flat panel display having a face plate and a rear plate and a face plate made of glass may be used, and a liquid crystal display or a plasma display may be used instead of the FED. Thus, in the present embodiment, the image display 2 composed of a CRT as in the related art is used.
As compared with a game machine in which 00 is incorporated, the weight and space can be reduced, and the strength of the image display device 100 can be increased because the face plate 30 is made of glass. However, in terms of viewing angle, self-luminous displays such as FEDs and plasma displays are superior to liquid crystal displays, and images can be viewed by people other than players, increasing the attractiveness. In amusement facilities, it is possible to increase the ability to attract customers by adopting a self-luminous display. In addition, the FED has an operating temperature range wider than that of a liquid crystal display because all the constituent elements are formed of solids (the operating temperature range of the conventional FED is said to be about −45 ° C. to + 85 ° C.).

Hereinafter, the image display 100 will be described.

The image display 100 includes a face plate 30 made of glass, a rear plate 20 disposed opposite to the face plate 30, and an electric field emission disposed on the side of the rear plate 20 facing the face plate 30. And a support spacer 40 formed in a frame shape between the plates 30 and 20. Here, the field emission type electron source 10 is p
The back surface of the silicon substrate 1 is bonded to the rear plate 20. Further, the supporting spacer 40 is provided on both plates 3.
0 and 20 are bonded to each other with frit glass or epoxy vacuum adhesive.
The space surrounded by 0, 20 and the spacer 40 is maintained in a vacuum state having a degree of vacuum of 1 Pa or less. Further, the spacer 40 has a function of keeping the distance between the plates 30 and 20 constant. As the spacer 40, for example, a glass plate may be used, or a metal plate whose surface is insulated by enamel or the like may be used.

The image display 100 is attached to the main body 90 of the game machine such that the face plate 30 faces the player. A collector electrode 31 made of a transparent electrode is formed on the face of the face plate 30 on the side facing the field emission electron source 10.
A phosphor layer 32 that emits visible light by electrons emitted from the zero surface electrode 7 is formed so as to cover the collector electrode 31.

The field emission type electron source 10 is made of porous polycrystalline silicon oxidized on an n-type region 8 of a p-type silicon substrate 1 in which an n-type region 8 serving as a conductive layer is formed in a stripe shape on the main surface side. The strong electric field drift portion 6 is formed.
The strong electric field drift portion 6 forms a polycrystalline silicon layer 3 (the polycrystalline silicon layer 3 has a columnar structure) on the entire surface of the p-type silicon substrate 1 and then anodizes the polycrystalline silicon layer 3. And is oxidized by a rapid heating method. The conductive thin film having a stripe shape orthogonal to the n-type region 8 (for example, having a film thickness of 10 n
The surface electrode 7 made of a gold thin film of
It is formed over the upper and polycrystalline silicon layers 3.

In the case of 0, the DC voltage applied between the surface electrode 7 and the n-type region 8 has a small dependence on the degree of vacuum of the electron emission characteristics,
Electrons can be emitted with high efficiency even at a low voltage of about V, and the emitted electrons are emitted almost uniformly in the vertical direction within the surface of the front electrode 7. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a focusing electrode or the like. Thus, high definition can be achieved without any need, and the image display panel 42 can be reduced in power consumption, thinned, and lightened.

The field emission type electron source 10 includes an n-type region 8 formed in a stripe shape and a surface electrode 7 formed in a stripe shape orthogonal to the n-type region 8.

The electron e ⁻ is injected by thermal excitation. On the other hand, since the electric field applied to the strong electric field drift portion 6 is almost applied to the silicon oxide film 64, the injected electrons are accelerated by the strong electric field applied to the silicon oxide film 64, and the polycrystalline silicon in the strong electric field drift portion 6 is increased. Drift the region between 51 toward the surface in the direction of arrow F in the figure (upward in FIG. 3), and tunnel the surface electrode 7 through the oxide layer on the outermost surface of the strong electric field drift portion 6. And then released into a vacuum. In the strong electric field drift portion 6, electrons injected from the n-type region 8 are accelerated by the electric field applied to the silicon oxide film 64 without colliding with the semiconductor microcrystals of the microcrystalline silicon layer 63, and drift, Since heat generated in the strong electric field drift portion 6 is radiated through the polycrystalline silicon 51 which is a columnar semiconductor crystal, electrons can be emitted with high efficiency without generating a popping phenomenon during electron emission.

In the present embodiment, the strong electric field drift portion 6 is made of oxidized porous polycrystalline silicon, but may be made of nitrided porous polycrystalline silicon. Further, the strong electric field drift portion 6 may be formed by making single crystal silicon porous by anodizing treatment, or by forming amorphous semiconductor (for example, amorphous silicon) into porous by anodizing treatment.
