    摘要: The disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for forming a scanning electron beam for use in a flat screen cathode raytube device. An analog addressing method enables scanning of one axis of the screen of the CRT device. During scanning, all portions of a sheet of electrons emitted by a line cathode 18 are deflected at any given time and blocked by an analog horizontal-positioning deflection grid 20 except for one narrow portion disposed along the length of the line cathode. At the one portion, a narrow beam of electrons is formed. The grid contains an address plate 22 and a load plate 23. The load plate creates a voltage gradient causing each location along its horizontal axis to be at a distinct voltage. Horizontal scanning is accomplished by applying a varying central voltage to the address plate. This varying voltage will be matched by an equal voltage at a single predetermined location along the horizontal axis of the load plate adjacent to which electrons can pass undeflected in the form of a beam. At all other locations along the horizontal axis, unequal voltages on the plates deflect electrons in the sheet passing between them and cause the electrons to be blocked. Vertical scanning is accomplished by varying the voltage difference between two parallel vertical deflection plates (11, 12) between which the scanned electron beam passes. The disclosure also relates to the use of electromagnetic rather than electrostatic deflections in producing a scanning electron beam from a line cathode. In addition, the disclosure relates to multiple beams for scanning and producing of color images.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to liquid crystal display devices for presenting analog displays of electrical input signals which are a function of a variable to be displayed. Liquid crystal material is disposed in the gap between an address electrode 40 plate and a load electrode plate. An array of load electrodes 60 on the load plate are connected to an impedance element 50 which can create a voltage gradient (52, 54) across the array of the load electrodes. The address electrode which is a conductive layer disposed on the address plate is connected to one terminal of the impedance element. The input signal can be an analog voltage proportional to some condition being measured. The input signal is connected to both the impedance element and to the address electrode. The optical properties of the liquid crystal material change at a point where the potential difference between the address electrode and the load electrode places a predetermined or threshold electric field across the liquid crystal. As the input voltage 42 commonly applied to the address electrode and the load electrode is changed, the voltage and gradient along the array of load electrodes changes and the areas of the display which are dark or bright will change in size. The liquid crystal display device is adapted to display analog bar graph presentations without the need for drivers, multiplexers, decoders, or analog-to-digital converters connected to the load electrodes to produce analog indicator displays of various configurations.

    摘要: A liquid crystal display is provided for use in an oscilloscope. Analog multiplexing techniques enable displaying of waveforms of input signals with frequencies as high as 1 MHz. an xy grid is formed by two interleaved arrays of alternate parallel transparent electrodes (20 and 40). Use of liquid crystal material (44) results in very low power consumption and voltage threshold, improved lifetime, a wide viewing angle, and no image washout at high ambient light levels. Addition of a digital voltmeter, frequency counter, auto sync circuitry, dual trace, and movable cursor expands the capabilities of the display. A gray scale surrounds the actual null points on the display, allowing suitable resolution with a minimum of channels.
