Abstract:
A cathode ray tube has a vacuum envelope formed of a panel portion (11), a neck portion (12) and a funnel portion (13) for connecting the panel portion and the neck portion, a phosphor screen (14) formed on an inner surface of the panel portion, and an electron gun (19) housed in the neck portion and including a cathode (40) and a heater (31a). The cathode includes a disk-shaped cathode base metal (41) having an oxide coating (42) thereon and a cylindrical cathode sleeve (43) housing the heater. The cylindrical cathode sleeve includes a small-diameter portion (43c) having the disk-shaped cathode base metal fitted within an end thereof and housing a top portion of the heater and a large-diameter portion housing leg portions (31) of the heater, and an axial length SL (mm) of the small-diameter portion and an outside diameter DD (mm) of the disk-shaped cathode base metal satisfies the following inequation: 0.5 ≤ SL/DD ≤ 4.0.
Abstract:
The conventional cathode for electronic tube has such a problem that the metal constituting the base material of the tube is thermally deformed and the fluctuation of the cut-off voltage becomes relatively large when an electronic tube is operated for a long time. In order to solve this problem, a cathode for electronic tube which can reduce the thermal deformation of the base material and does not allow the large fluctuation of the cut-off voltage is provided. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the metal constituting the base material (1) is made even by mixing the same metal (14) as that of a metallic layer (13) formed on the base material (1) in the metal constituting the base material (1), and the deformation of the base material (1) is suppressed by preventing the diffusion of the metal of the layer (13) to the base material (1).
Abstract:
This invention relates to a cathode structure for an electron gun of an electron tube, comprising a hollow, cylindrical sleeve (1) having a heater (5) mounted therein and a cathode cap (6) disposed at its top to contain an electron emission material (7); a hollow, cylindrical cathode holder (2) for supporting the sleeve; and a unitary, trumpet-shaped support (3) formed in its peripheral wall with a plurality of through-holes (3a) for preventing thermal deformating thereof and attached at one end to the upper end of the cathode holder (4a) and at the other end to the lower end of the sleeve (4b), thereby firmly supporting a cathode body relative to the cathode holder.
Abstract:
A dispenser cathode for an electron gun comprising a reservoir (2) for thermoelectron emissive material (1) and a sleeve (3) which has an outward flange at the top thereof and receives the reservoir within its upper portion. A heat shielding tube (5) has an inward flange at the top thereof which corresponds to and overlaps with the flange of the sleeve (3) and is welded thereto. A holder supports the heat shielding tube.
Abstract:
Cathode having a short heating time and a long lifetime for an electric discharge tube. The cathode comprises a metal (particularly nickel) support base coated with a layer of potentially electron-emissive material, which support base has a thickness ranging between 20 and 150 µm, while the metal crystallites have a size which does not permit of any further crystallite growth or recrystallization. Particularly, the crystallites of the support base have a size which corresponds to the thickness of the support base.
Abstract:
The metallic substrate of this cathode has a thickness ≤ 100 µm and contains a plurality of reducing agents as Si or Al and - on the top face 111, 0.005 %
