Abstract:
A fluorescent display device capable of being sealed while being evacuated to a high vacuum without independently forming any evacuation hole at an electrode formation section of a substrate of an envelope. A cathode substrate is sealedly formed of an electrode formation section of a large plate-like shape provided thereon with a field emission cathode, an evacuation section of a small plate-like shape formed with a cutout, and a seal member. An anode substrate on which a display section is spacedly arranged oppositely to the cathode substrate. A getter chamber including an evacuation tube is connected to the evacuation hole. Thus, the present invention eliminate independent formation of any specific evacuation at the electrode formation section, to thereby prevent damage and contamination of the substrates.

A glass bulb is provided having one open end portion sealed to the step portion of the translucent face glass assembly with low-melting frit glass. A stem assembly is provided having a anode electrode assembly and a cathode assembly mounted therein. The anode electrode assembly and the cathode assembly are accommodated in the glass bulb. The contact segment is contacted by the anode electrode assembly, the stem assembly being hermetically sealed at the other open end portion of the glass bulb. A high voltage applied to the anode assembly accommodated in the glass bulb is applied to the metallized film through the path of the contact segment.
Abstract:
An electron gun of a flat plate type image display apparatus for use in a field of an image information apparatus is described. A rear electrode part of the electron guns is formed by a flat plate type rear electrode which has a conductive film on its surface, and is arranged with a constant distance from the plural line electrodes. Plural spacers are disposed between the plural line electrodes (2), with one end of each fixed on the rear electrode and conductive films formed on the surfaces. The fabrication of the electron gun is simplified and furthermore, electric field is stabilized by prevention of generation of electric charge and generation of unevenness of luminance on a surface of an anode.

The substrate and cylindrical lens cooperate with each other to provide an illumination system in tubular form, with the aid of a side plate when necessary.
Abstract:
Compact fluorescent lamps employ inner assemblies of fluorescent tubes mounted in an arc tight manner. Associated with the assemblies are thermally actuable means which operate to open communication with the tubes during exhaust. After exhaust and sealing of an outer envelope which holds the assembly, the thermally actuable means closes the tubes to form an arc tight seal.

A beam mode lamp has two discharge electrodes which alternately function as anode and cathode. One or more modifying electrodes are located between the discharge electrodes. Each modifying electrode is kept equal to or negative with respect to the cathode, raising the operating voltage of the lamp from a normal 20 volts to line voltage.
