Abstract:
Problems with a conventional cathode for electronic tubes arose because metals composing the substrate were subjected to heat deformation, resulting in a relatively lage drift of cutoff voltage. The present invention diminishes the heat deformation of the substrate to obtain a cathode with a small drift of cutoff voltage. Particularly, heat expansion coefficients can be made uniform while metals in the metal layer are prevented from diffusing into the substrate. This is done by incorporating the same metals present in the metal layer into the metals composing the substrate, thereby supressing deformation of the substrate.
Abstract:
A method of forming a coating on an electron emitting cathode, in which (1) a black coating is formed on the inner surface of a cathode sleeve constituting the electron emitting cathode, (2) the cathode sleeve is filled with a suspension as a coating material, and (3) a porous absorbent member is brought into contact with or near an opening portion of the cathode sleeve at the same time or after the cathode sleeve is filled with the suspension, thereby causing the porous absorbent member to absorb an unnecessary portion of the suspension. Thereafter, the cathode sleeve to which the coating material is adhered is heat-treated. As a result, a black coating having a uniform thickness is formed, on the inner surface of the cathode sleeve, as a sintered layer obtained by mixing tungsten having an average particle diameter in a range of 0.5 .mu.m (inclusive) to 2 .mu.m (inclusive) with alumina having an average particle diameter in a range of 0.1 .mu.m (inclusive) to 1 .mu.m (exclusive) at a weight ratio of the tungsten to the alumina in a range of (90:10) to (65:35).
Abstract:
An electron gun cathode structure includes a support member made of an insulating material, a first grid fixed to the support member, and a cathode disposed on the side of the support member opposite to the first grid. A thermal expansion .DELTA.L.sub.S /L.sub.S of the insulating material constituting the support member due to heat from the cathode is larger than a thermal expansion .DELTA.L.sub.G /L.sub.G of a material constituting the first grid due to heat from the cathode. A manufacturing method of an electron gun cathode structure includes preparing a member including a first face and a second face having a step therebetween, a height of the step being equal to a predetermined distance d.sub.12, placing a first grid on the first face, placing a spacer on the second face, placing an insulating support member on the first grid and the spacer, and grinding a top surface of the spacer opposite to its surface that is fixed to the support member so that an actual distance d.sub.12 becomes a desired value. Further, a distance d between the top surface of the spacer and a cathode is measured with a non-contact type distance measuring instrument, and a position of the cathode with respect to the first grid is so set that a difference d-d.sub.12 becomes a desired value.
