Abstract: An electron accelerator includes a vacuum chamber having an electron beam exit window. An electron generator is positioned within the vacuum chamber for generating electrons. A housing surrounds the electron generator and has a first series of openings formed in the housing between the electron generator and the exit window for allowing electrons to accelerate from the electron generator out the exit window in an electron beam when a voltage potential is applied between the housing and the exit window. The housing also has a second series and third series of openings formed in the housing on opposite sides of the electron generator for causing electrons to be uniformly distributed across the electron beam by flattening electrical field lines between the electron generator and the exit window.

Abstract: A flat screen field emission cathode is disclosed including microtips individually protected by means of a series electrical coupling with a dipole consisting of a depletion mode field effect transistor. The current-voltage characteristic of such a dipole is not linear. These dipoles can be obtained such that the protection threshold and current emission level, and therefore the brilliance of the screen, can be altered globally (on all tips at once) solely by acting on the biasing of the substrate common to these dipoles, or groups of dipoles.

Abstract: An electron emitter plate (110) for an FED image display has an extraction (gate) electrode (22) spaced by an insulating spacer (125) from a cathode electrode including a conductive mesh (18). Arrays of microtips (14) are located in mesh spacings (16), within apertures (26) formed in extraction electrode (22) and subcavities (141) formed through apertures (26) in insulating spacer (125). Subcavities (141a) are open to row-adjacent and column-adjacent subcavities (141b, 141c) to form larger main cavities (144). Posts (143) of insulating spacer (125) separate diagonally-adjacent cavities (141d). Subcavities (141) are formed by over-etching a layer of insulating spacer material (25) through apertures (26) before or after forming microtips (14) through the same apertures (26). Over-etching reduces the dielectric constant factor of gate-to-cathode capacitance in the finished structure.

Abstract: An electron beam source includes a cathode having an electron emission surface including an active area for emission of electrons and a cathode shield assembly including a conductive shield disposed in proximity to the electron emission surface of the cathode. The shield has an opening aligned with the active area. The electron beam source further includes a device for stimulating emission of electrons from the active area of the cathode, electron optics for forming the electrons into an electron beam and a vacuum enclosure for maintaining the cathode at high vacuum. The cathode may be a negative electron affinity photocathode formed on a light-transmissive substrate. The shield protects non-emitting areas of the emission surface from contamination and inhibits cathode materials from contaminating components of the electron beam source. The cathode may be moved relative to the opening in the shield so as to align an new active area with the opening. Getter materials and sources of activation material may be incorporated into the shield assembly.
