Abstract:
In a radiation imaging apparatus which comprises an envelope which has a first window for transmitting a radiation and is filled with an insulating liquid, a radiation tube in the envelope which has, at a position facing the first window, a second window for transmitting the radiation, and a shielding member, a solid insulating member is arranged between the shielding member and the inner wall of the envelope, an opening is formed at a position on the insulating member corresponding to the first window, and a shortest distance from the shielding member to the first window or the inner wall of the envelope through the opening of the insulating member without the insulating member is made longer than a shortest distance from the shielding member to the first window or the inner wall of the envelope through the insulating member, thereby improving withstand voltage performance without reducing an radiation amount.
Abstract:
A light emitting substrate includes a light emitting layer which emits light in response to the bombardment of electrons. A novel rib structure including a pattern of wall-like ribs and sheet-like ribs prevents the collapse of ribs in a finely-pitched pixel layout of the light emitting substrate. A light shielding layer is formed on a substrate, and wall ribs are formed on the light shielding layer. Then, a positive photo paste is spread thereon and exposed to light and then developed, so that sheet ribs having side surfaces tilting toward openings of the light shielding layer are formed.
Abstract:
In a method of manufacturing an electron-emitting device, an electroconductive film formed on a substrate is subjected to a clean processing to remove a foreign matter from the electroconductive film, and thereafter, energization is conducted on the electroconductive film, to form an electron-emitting region. Accordingly, there is provided an electron-emitting device which avoids a formation defect of the electron-emitting region due to the existence of the foreign matter and which has satisfactory characteristics without fluctuation.

Abstract:
A photoconductive device employs an organic film between a pair of electrodes where the organic film is a polymer having a carbazole skeleton and an imide linkage in a repeating unit of the general formula: ##STR1## where R.sup.1 denotes a tetravalent organic group having 5 to 13 carbons.
Abstract:
Provided is an X-ray generator comprising an X-ray tube including a cylindrical body; an electron source in the body; a target at an end of the X-ray tube facing the electron source, the target generating X-rays by irradiation with electrons; a container in which the X-ray tube is arranged; insulating liquid filled between the X-ray tube and the container; and a holding member holding the body of the X-ray tube in the container, with a channel for the insulating liquid around the X-ray tube. The distance between the holding member and the end face at the end of the body in the direction in which the electron source and the target face is twice or more as large as the minimum width of the channel that is in contact with the outer surface of the X-ray tube at the end face side with respect to the holding member. This allows heat in the target to be quickly radiated, thus allowing X-rays to be generated stably for a long time.
Abstract:
In an X-ray generation apparatus of transmission type including an electron emission source, and a target generating an X-ray with collision of electrons emitted from the electron emission source against the target, the X-ray generation apparatus further includes a secondary X-ray generation portion generating an X-ray with collision of electrons reflected by the target against the secondary X-ray generation portion, and the secondary X-ray generation portion and the target are arranged such that the X-ray generated with the direct collision of the electrons against the target and the X-ray generated with the collision of the electrons reflected by the target against the secondary X-ray generation portion are both radiated to an outside. X-ray generation efficiency is increased by effectively utilizing the electrons reflected by the target.
Abstract:
In an X-ray tube having an X-ray shielding member allowing an electron ray to pass through an electron passing hole toward a target, separately from the cathode-side opening of the electron passing hole, a gas exhaust path allowing communication between the inside and outside of the electron passing hole is provided so that gas molecules generated in the electron passing hole can be easily diffused out of the electron passing hole. The degradation of the cathode caused by accelerated collisions with the cathode, of cations generated by collisions of electrons with gas molecules generated in the electron passing hole by a desorption phenomenon due to electron ray irradiation to the target, is reduced.
