Even when the carbon nanotube mixture is distributed by mechanical and physical property, an even thickness is still difficult to obtain. Therefore, non-uniform electron beams are emitted. As a result, uneven brightness in a single luminescent unit occurs, such that the image quality is degraded. In addition, although the carbon nanotube mixture has very high viscosity, the adhesion is insufficient.
