Abstract:
The present invention provides for transparent electrodes useful in display devices. The transparent electrodes are deposited on a substrate and formed with one or more apertures on their top surface that permit a second electrode, formed on the transparent electrode, to dip down and make contact with the substrate. The second electrode is made of an opaque conductive material that lowers the electrical resistance of the transparent electrode.

The anode plate 62 contains an active region 58. The conductive stripes 90 have a first width W.sub.7 within the active region 58 and a second different width W.sub.8 outside of the active region 58.
Abstract:
A target assembly for storage tubes comprising a film of an organic compound of a resistivity of at least 1015 ohms-cm deposited on a 500- to 1500-mesh metal screen. The target assembly is prepared by depositing droplets of the organic compound on the screen, rotating it in a spinner to cause the droplets to drift sideways to fill out the interstices and heating the compound at 100* to 200*C for about 3 hours.

A photomultiplier assembly includes a tubular member of high magnetic permeability and a photomultiplier tube disposed within the tubular member. The photomultiplier tube has an encapsulated voltage distribution network attached thereto. A universal member extends longitudinally along at least a portion of the photomultiplier tube and provides a slip-fit between the photomultiplier tube and the tubular member so as to space the photomultiplier tube from the tubular member. The universal member has a retaining shoulder which projects radially inwardly between the photomultiplier tube and the voltage distribution network. A plurality of locking members are affixed between the universal member and the tubular member.

The disclosure is of a cathode ray tube having a face plate for displaying information and carrying an electrode assembly which is curved to couple intimately to the face plate. The electrode assembly includes a shield against radio frequency interference and an insulating support sheet having an inner surface and an outer surface, on each of which an array of rows and columns of conductive areas is formed. On the inner surface, the rows of conductive areas are electrically connected together to output contact pads at a side edge of the sheet, and, on the outer surface, the columns of conductive areas are electrically connected together to output contact pads along the lower edge of the sheet. Each outer conductive area overlies and is capacitively coupled to an inner conductive area. A column conductor which extends from a contact pad at an edge of the outer surface of the sheet is capacitively coupled to each column of outer conductive areas. The method of the invention comprises forming the desired conductive areas of indium-tin-oxide on a flat glass sheet and then sagging the glass sheet to the desired curvature.
