    Abstract: Cathodoluminescent field emission display devices feature phosphor biasing, amplification material layers for secondary electron emissions, oxide secondary emission enhancement layers, and ion barrier layers of silicon nitride, to provide high-efficiency, high-brightness field emission displays with improved operating characteristics and durability. The amplification materials include copper-barium, copper-beryllium, gold-barium, gold-calcium, silver-magnesium and tungsten-barium-gold, and other high amplification factor materials fashioned to produce high-level secondary electron emissions within a field emission display device. For enhanced secondary electron emissions, an amplification material layer can be coated with a near mono-molecular film consisting essentially of an oxide of barium, beryllium, calcium, magnesium or strontium. Use of a high amplification factor film as a phosphor biasing electrode, and variability of the phosphor biasing potential to achieve brightness or gray scale control are further described in the disclosure.

    Abstract: A photomultiplier tube, image intensifier tube, or night vision device includes a cascade of plural microchannel plates which are physically and electrically connected together to provide an electron multiplication through the microchannel plate cascade. At least two adjacent microchannel plates in the cascade are also physically interbonded to one another. The bonding of the adjacent microchannel plates may be accomplished by use of a metallic interbonding layer covering all except a peripheral edge portion of at least one face of one or both of the bonded microchannel plates, which interbonding layer confronts and bonds with the other of the bonded microchannel plates. The interbonding layer may cover only a peripheral annular portion of the one face of the one bonded microchannel plate, or only sub-areas of this peripheral annular portion of this one microchannel plate. During manufacturing of such an image intensifier tube, the microchannel plates are initially fabricated and handled as individuals. However, a necessary manufacturing step for the tube also results in the microchannel plates interbonding to one another.

    Abstract: A micro secondary electron multiplier or an array thereof employs discrete dynodes which are microstructured and applied to an insulating substrate plate. The substrate plate is provided with electrical conductor paths for the connection of the dynodes. The dynodes can be made using a technique such as X-ray depth lithography-galvanoplasty (the LIGA technique). The micro secondary electron multiplier or an array of such multipliers is extremely small and sensitive, and has a high time resolution. Furthermore there is considerable flexibility in positioning the multipliers of an array.

    Abstract: A channel secondary electron multiplier has a mechanically sturdy body made of metal or ceramic material. The body forms an internal multiplier channel having a curved, e.g. helical main portion and a funnel shaped entrance end. A resistive layer forming a secondary electron emissive surface is provided on the inner wall of said channel inclusive that entrance end. The secondary electron emissive resistive layer in said funnel shaped entrance end has the form of a spiral-shaped band or stripe having a width which is preferably at least approximately equal to the circumferential dimension of the main portion of said channel. The body has a thermal coefficient of expansion which is at least 15% larger than the thermal coefficient of expansion of said layer, to maintain said layer under compression.
