摘要:
A colour cathode ray tube including a screen (16) comprising at least two sets of phosphor stripes luminescing in different primary colours. A channel plate electron multiplier (44) is mounted parallel to, but spaced from, the screen (16). The electron multiplier (44) comprises a stack of juxtaposed substantially planar apertured dynodes (DI to Dn) with the apertures therein aligned to form channels. An apertured extractor electrode (48) is mounted on the output side of the electron multiplier (44). Preferably two or more foraminous deflector electrodes (50, 52) are mounted on the extractor electrode. The apertures in the foraminous deflector electrodes (50, 52) have the same pitch as the channels of the electron multiplier but are offset laterally relative to each other and to the axes (A) of the channels by amounts which allow the emergent electron beam from each channel to pass through to the screen (16) without impinging upon the deflector electrodes (50, 52). By applying a potential difference between the deflector electrodes (50, 52) an electron beam emerging from its respective channel is deflected laterally onto a respective one of its associated group of phosphor stripes. The apertures in the deflector electrodes (50, 52) may be circular, elliptical or polygonal for example square, rectangular or hexagonal.

The invention relates to an electron multiplier (1) for a system for detecting electromagnetic radiation or an ion flow. The multiplier (1) comprises at least one active structure (2) for receiving a flow of incident electrons and for emitting a flow of so-called secondary electrons in response. Said active structure (2) comprises a substrate (3) on which a thin nanodiamond layer (4) is arranged, wherein said layer consists of diamond particles, the average size of which is no greater than 100 nm.

A cathode (5) for emitting photoelectrons or secondary electrons comprises a nickel electrode substrate (5c) with an aluminum layer (5b) deposited on it; an intermediate layer (5a) consisting of carbon nanotubes formed on the aluminum layer; and an alkaline metal layer (5d) formed on the intermediate layer (5a) and composed, for example, of particles of an alkali antimony compound that either emits photoelectrons in response to incident light or emits secondary electrons in response to incident electrons. The decrease in defect density of the particles reduces the probability of recombination of electron and hole remarkably, thus increasing quantum efficiency.
摘要:
An electron multiplier using a laminated channel plate assembly. The electron multiplier is usable in display tubes and image intensifiers. A problem in channel plate electron multipliers is to space apart accurately the dynodes in a simple and inexpensive way. In the present invention this problem is overcome by using discrete separating elements (16) such as ballotini to space apart the dynodes (11, 12, 13, 14). The elements (16) are bonded to the surface of one dynode of adjacent pairs of dynodes and is either bonded to or clamped against the other dynode of the pair. Various methods of making the laminated channel plate assembly are disclosed.
