Abstract:
A display device is disclosed including a plurality of pixels arranged in a predetermined configuration. Each pixel including a mirror element disposed over a flat surface. A light modulating material disposed over the mirror element for selectively modulating a predetermined wave length of light received from an external source by transitioning between a first and a second state. The light modulating material in the first state causes destructive interference in the predetermined wave length of light and in the second state causes constructive interference in the predetermined wave length of light.
Abstract:
A cathode ray tube having a face plate composed of a plurality of boron fibers which act as a charge transfer medium to make signals accessible from the outside of the tube for further manipulation and processing.
Abstract:
A method for making a faceplate for an electrostatic printing tube involves the positioning of the faceplate at an angle with respect to a collimated light source so that the pins embedded within the faceplate act as a mask to provide shadowed areas which prevent positive photoresist on a transparent conductive coating adhered to a surface of the faceplate from being exposed to light. The photoresist exposed to light is removed and the conductive coating is etched except where the nonexposed photoresist is located thereby forming elongated conductive pads electrically connected to respective pins. The nonexposed photoresist is removed and the conductive pads are plated with a suitable secondary electron emissive material.
Abstract:
An electrode assembly for accelerating charge carriers in a charge carrier beam includes acceleration electrodes fixedly mounted inside an evacuable chamber formed by an insulating body and a surrounding enclosure. A supplementary conductor element is embedded within the walls of the insulating body, in a fashion in which it substantially encircles, or circumscribes, both the acceleration path and also at least in part the acceleration electrodes. The supplementary conductor is conductively connected to one of the electrodes which it circumscribes, thus maintaining electrode and supplementary conductor at the same electric potential.
Abstract:
In the nonconducting state, breakdown between concentric electrodes is determined by the Paschen law. If the inner electrode which defines the interelectrode space is perforated, ionization can occur therein, thus reducing holdoff voltage at a given pressure. Path length-limiting shielding adjacent to the electrode perforations prevents ionization within the electrode to maintain holdoff voltage, corresponding to the original electrode spacing.
