Electron emission device and electron emission display using the same

The present invention discloses an electron emission device and electron emission display. The electron emission device includes a substrate, cathode and gate electrodes placed on the substrate in an insulated manner, and electron emission regions electrically connected to the cathode electrodes. Each of the cathode electrodes includes a line electrode having a groove at one lateral side surface thereof, and isolation electrodes formed on the substrate exposed through the groove such that the isolation electrodes are isolated from the line electrode. The electron emission regions are placed on the isolation electrodes and a resistance layer electrically connects the isolation electrodes to the line electrode.
