Abstract:
A lighting device 100, a lamp and a luminaire is provided. The light device 100 emits a first color distribution predominantly in a first direction and a second color distribution predominantly in a second direction. The lighting device comprises a light exit window, a light source 118, a light distributing layer 108, and a luminescent material. Light 104, 106 is emitted into the ambient of the lighting device through the light exit window. The light exit window has a first part 110 for an escape of light of the first color distribution and a second part 102 for an escape of light of the second color distribution. The second part 102 is different from the first part 110. The light source emits light of a predefined color distribution. The predefined color distribution comprises light of a first color 106. The light distributing layer 108 partly reflects or backscatters impinging light and partly transmits impinging light. The light distributing layer 108 is arranged in between the light source 118 and the second part 102 of the light exit window. The light distributing layer 108 is not fully transparent and has an edge near the light exit window for separating the first part 110 and the second part 102. The luminescent material converts light of the first color 106 to light of a second color 104. The luminescent material is arranged in the light distributing layer 108, is arranged in between the light distributing layer 108 and the second part 102 of the light exit window, or is arranged at the first part 110 of the light exit window or the second part 102 of the light exit window.
Abstract:
A method of reducing a fluctuation in a cut-off voltage of a cathode for an electron tube in which a metal layer for protrusively deforming a cathode substrate when heated is formed on a surface of the cathode substrate, and an electron emissive material layer is formed on the front face of the cathode substrate directly or through the metal layer and a heater for heating the electron emissive material layer to emit a thermion from a front face of the electron emissive material layer is provided. When the front face of the electron emissive material layer is consumed and retreats, the protrusive deformation of the cathode substrate by the metal layer is induced by a heating operation of the heater so that the front face of the electron emissive material layer is correspondingly deformed protrusively.
Abstract:
An improved cathode structure for a cathode ray tube includes a first metal tube which can receive an emission part and a heating element, a second metal tube constituting the cathode shielding, and means for retaining the first tube in position inside the second, wherein the retaining means are constituted by a single metal piece. In a preferential mode of implementation, the metal retention piece is constituted by a crown having branches extending in the direction of the axis of the crown.
Abstract:
A low-power cathode can be obtained by arranging it on a substrate (1), preferably of silicon, which is entirely or partly removed at the location of the emissive structure (11) by means of, for example, anisotropic etching. Because of its low power, the cathode is particularly suitable for multi-beam applications.
Abstract:
An indirect cathode sleeve and manufacturing method thereof capable of substantially reducing electric power consumption of a heater disposed inside the cathode sleeve and simultaneously reducing a picture-producing time by oxidizing an inside surface of the cathode sleeve and reducing an outside surface thereof. The cathode sleeve includes a heater disposed inside the cathode sleeve; a base metal formed at the top of the cathode sleeve; an electron-emitting material layer formed at the outside surface of the base metal; and an indirect cathode sleeve including a black inside surface and a white outside surface. The method for manufacturing the indirect cathode sleeve includes the steps of forming a structure of a cathode sleeve consisting of a bimetal which consist of a Nickel-Chrome alloy at an inside surface of the cathode sleeve and a Nickel alloy at an outside surface of the cathode sleeve; oxidizing the inside surface of the cathode sleeve through a high temperature wet hydrogen environment; selectively etching the outside surface of the cathode sleeve and, as a result, forming a base metal at the top of the cathode sleeve; and forming an electron-emitting material layer at the outside surface of the base metal.
Abstract:
A metal layer of not more than 2.0 .mu.m thick is formed on a base, containing nickel as the main ingredient and a reducing agent such as silicon and magnesium, by depositing tungsten by an electron beam under heating in a vacuum. The base is heat treated in a hydrogen atmosphere at 800.degree. to 1,100.degree. C. An emissive material layer, containing an alkali earth metal oxide and 0.01 to 25 wt % of a rare earth metal oxide, the alkali earth metal oxide containing at least barium oxide, is formed on the metal layer. Thus, life characteristics of the cathode, especially during the operation at a high current density such as not less than 2A/cm.sub.2, are greatly enhanced.
Abstract:
This cathode has a body made of a material that does not emit electrons, having a substantially smooth non-emissive face and elements made of an emissive material each having an emissive face, spaced out from one another and fixed to the body, for example in hollows with their emissive surface in relief by a determined value with respect to said non-emissive face, so that a protection electrode can be placed between the projecting parts of these elements.
Abstract:
A novel technique for mounting a disc of lanthanum hexaboride electron emission material within a hot cathode assembly of an electron gun is described. The disc is partly received in a recess of a graphite mounting member and the combined disc and mounting member are pushed to the end of a 50/50 molybdenum rhenium tube which has a rolled over lip which engages the disc. Indentations are formed in the tube and these extend into the mounting member to secure the mounting member to the tube. All contacting surfaces between the disc and mounting member and between the disc and lip are previously coated with colloidal graphite to improve electrical and thermal conductivity. Prior to securing the disc and mounting member to the tube the tube is secured to an alumina support ring by cutting and forming retaining lips from the tube and by flaring an end of the tube.
Abstract:
A cathode-ray tube having an electron gun includes at least one cathode assembly comprising a novel cathode sleeve, a heater filament disposed within the sleeve and a cathode eyelet disposed around at least a portion of the cathode sleeve and attached thereto. The cathode sleeve has oppositely disposed ends, one end being open and the other end being closed by a cap having an electron emitting coating thereon. The novel cathode sleeve comprises a longitudinally extending first portion having a first diameter conforming closely to the heater body portion of the heater filament for reducing the power requirement thereof, and at least one other longitudinally extending portion having a diameter greater than the first diameter. The first portion and the other portion of the cathode sleeve being connected by a transition region inclined at an obtuse angle to the longitudinally extending first portion of the sleeve. A plurality of openings having a lateral dimension greater than the effective longitudinal dimension thereof are formed in the transition region to restrict the conduction of heat along the sleeve and to limit the radiative heat loss therethrough from the heater legs disposed within the sleeve.
