| 1. A method for manufacturing an electron-emitting device comprising steps of:
preparing a substrate provided with a first electrode and a second electrode disposed in opposition to each other sandwiching
a gap between the first and second electrodes;
forming a first layer on the first electrode and covering the first layer with a second layer of a material from which a fiber
containing carbon can hardly be grown rather than a side of the first layer facing the second electrode so that the side of
the first layer facing the second electrode is exposed; and
applying a catalyst to the side of the first layer facing the second electrode and forming the fiber containing carbon on
the side of the first layer facing the second electrode.
