    摘要: A cold cathode lighting device is a fluorescent tube replacement and has a transparent tube, a cold cathode formed as a wire or rod with an electron emissive surface and passing through a center of the transparent tube. An extraction grid is formed around and spaced apart from the cold cathode and has an external diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the transparent tube. A phosphor material and a conductive material form an anode on an inner surface of the transparent tube. A vacuum is maintained within the transparent tube and a power conversion circuit in an end unit converts electrical power into a first potential applied to the cold cathode, a second potential applied to the extraction grid and a third potential applied to the anode. Electrons emitted from the cold cathode accelerate towards the anode and light is emitted from the fluorescent tube replacement light emitting device.

    摘要: Electron sources for a cathodoluminescent lighting system are disclosed. An electron source is a broad-beam reflecting-type electron gun having a cathode for emitting electrons and a reflector and/or secondary emitter electrode and no grids. An alternative electron gun has a cathode having a heater welded to a disk, the disk having an emissive surface on a side facing a dome-shaped defocusing grid and an anode. A lighting system incorporating the electron sources has an envelope with a transparent face, an anode with a phosphor layer to emit light through the face and a conductor layer. The system also has a power supply for providing from five to thirty thousand volts of power to the light emitting device to draw electrons from cathode to anode and excite a cathodoluminescent phosphor, and the electrons transiting from cathode to anode are essentially unfocused. A power- factor-corrected embodiment is also disclosed.

    摘要: Electron sources for a cathodoluminescent lighting system are disclosed. An electron source is a broad-beam reflecting-type electron gun (243) having a cathode (240) for emitting electrons and a reflector and/or secondary emitter electrode and no grids. An alternative electron gun has a cathode having a heater welded to a disk, the disk having an emissive surface on a side facing a dome-shaped defocusing grid and an anode. A lighting system (100) incorporating the electron sources has an envelope (250) with a transparent face (252), an anode (242) with a phosphor layer (254) to emit light through the face and a conductor layer. The system also has a power supply (102, 104, 105, 106, 108) for providing from five to thirty thousand volts of power to the light emitting device to draw electrons from cathode to anode and excite a cathodoluminescent phosphor, and the electrons transiting from cathode to anode are essentially unfocused.

    摘要: A device for lighting a room is described. The device has an envelope with a transparent face, the face having an interior surface coated with a cathodoluminescent screen and a thin, reflective, conductive, anode layer. There is a broad-beam electron gun mounted directly to feedthroughs in a base of the envelope with a heated, button-on-hairpin, cathode for emitting electrons in a broad beam towards the anode, and a power supply mounted on the feedthroughs at the base of the envelope that drives the cathode to a multi-kilovolt negative voltage. A two-prong snubber serves as an anode contact to permit the power supply to drive the anode to a voltage near ground. A method of manufacture of the anode uses a single step deposition and lacquering process followed by a metallization using a conical-spiral tungsten filament coated with aluminum by a thermal spray coating process.
