Abstract:
An electron gun cathode (104) is column shaped, and emits electrons by being heated. A holder (103), which covers the bottom and sides of the electron gun cathode, has electrical conductivity and holds the electron gun cathode, and is composed of a material that does not easily react with the electron gun cathode when in a heated state, is provided. The tip of the electron gun cathode (104) protrudes from the holder (103) so as to be exposed, and electrons are emitted from the tip toward the front by applying an electric field to the tip.
Abstract:
A cathode for an electron tube including a base body having nickel as a major component and including at least one kind of reducing agents, a metal member in a layer-like shape, which has as a major component a metal provided with a reducing power equivalent to or smaller than a reducing power of the at least one kind of reducing agents included in the base body and larger than a reducing power of nickel and which is formed on faces of the base body, an electron emitting substance layer formed by depositing alkaline earth metal oxides including barium on the metal member, wherein the metal member is formed on the faces of the base body such that the base body is restrained from deforming by thermal stresses of intermetallic compounds formed at portions of the base body bounded with the metal member.
Abstract:
A cathode for an electron tube, includes a base metal having nickel as a main component, and an electron emitting material layer containing an alkaline earth metal oxide having barium oxide as a main component, wherein a metal layer having zirconium as a main component is located between the base metal and the electron emitting material layer. The cathode has an excellent initial electron emitting characteristic and can emit a large quantity of electrons for a long time. Therefore, the cathode is suitable for a larger and higher-definition CRT.
Abstract:
An electron gun is provided, in which a capacitance between a cathode and other electrodes, especially a control electrode is reduced largely without substantially changing a structure for supporting the cathode with an insulator. The cathode of this electron gun is disposed inside of the cylindrical metal shell. The cathode and the cylindrical metal shell are connected by three metal tabs. The cylindrical metal shell fits into a hole formed in the center portion of the insulator, and a metal outer frame is attached to the periphery of the insulator. The metal outer frame is welded to the inner surface of a cathode metal support. There is a control electrode facing the electron emitting surface of the cathode at a predetermined distance. Plural electrodes including an accelerating electrode are disposed in turn beyond the control electrode. Peripheries of the cathode metal support, control electrode, an accelerating electrode and other electrodes are embedded into sides of a pair of supporting rods that extend axially, so that the electrodes are fixed with a predetermined space between the electrodes.
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 electron tube includes a cathode structure which has a hollow cylindrical sleeve having a heater mounted within the sleeve. There is a cathode cap disposed at the top of the sleeve to contain an electron emission material. A hollow cylindrical cathode holder is used for supporting the sleeve. A unitary support interconnects the sleeve and the holder and has formed in its outer peripheral wall a plurality of circumferentially spaced through holes for preventing deformation of the support.

Abstract:
An indirectly heated filamentary cathode capable of significantly reducing its resistance, uniformly emitting electrons therefrom and effectively elminating its insulation failure. In the filamentary cathode, a cathode substrate is constituted by a metal conductive layer of a cylindrical shape arranged so as to be contacted with and electrically insulating layer and a fine metal wire wound which are closely contacted together, so that an electron emitting layer may be deposited through the metal conductive layer on the electrically insulating layer.

An indirectly-heated cathode device for electron tubes, comprising a hollow cathode sleeve of thin wall, a base metal mounted to one end of the sleeve and having the surface coated with an electron-emitting material, and a heater mounted within the sleeve. The sleeve is made of Ni-Cr alloy containing 2 to 35% by weight of Cr and predetermined amounts of additives including Co, W, Mo and/or Fe.
Abstract:
Performance of fast warm up cathodes can be improved by providing a black heat radiating surface on the interior of the cathode cap. A particular material can be nichrome which is a nickel chromium alloy. The cathode cap material can be selected from any of the known cathode nickel alloys. A preferred method for accomplishing the result includes the steps of cladding a selected nickel alloy with the nichrome material and then forming the substantially cup shaped cap with the clad material on the interior thereof. The formed cathode cap is then fired for about 10 minutes or longer in wet dissociated ammonia at a temperature of about 900.degree. to 1300.degree.C to oxidize the available chromium on the surface of the nichrome. This produces an even dark surface thereon which has much higher heat radiating capabilities than the silver looking nickel cathode alloy.
