Abstract:
This invention provides a multielectron gun which generates a plurality of electron beams having uniform characteristics. A multielectron gun (2) is formed of a plurality of electron guns (2a-2c). The electron gun (2a) has, in addition to an electron source (21a), Wehnelt electrode (22a), and anode electrode (23), a shield electrode (24) between the Wehnelt electrode (22a) and anode electrode (23). The shield electrode reduces field interference among the electron guns.
Abstract:
An electron gun that can provide a desired electron beam modulation effect without preventing a modulation magnetic field from passing from an exterior of the vacuum portion is provided. A part of a tubular G3 electrode in an electron gun is formed into a coiled portion to allow the modulation magnetic field to pass through the clearances between parts of a wire composing the coiled portion.
Abstract:
An electron gun provides an improved focusing characteristic of electron beams surely and effectively, and permits position alignment to be relatively easy in assembling thereof. In an electron gun which includes a cathode for discharging electrons and a plurality of grids each having electron passing-through holes for guiding the electrons discharged from the cathode unidirectionally, an electron dischargeable region is formed in an electron discharging plane of the cathode, which is band-shaped. In addition, the length of the band-shaped area constituting the electron dischargeable region on its shorter side is less than 80% of the diameter of the area from where electrons are discharged when a practical maximum current is taken out without limiting the electron dischargeable region.

Ceramic material for a low temperature direct heating electron gun cathode, wherein it is constituted by a mixed ceramic material of a hexaboride of a refractory material consisting of at least one substance with a high emissive power from the group consisting of La, Sr, and Ba hexaborides and a conductive material, boron carbide, having a resistivity higher than that of an emissive substance, the structure of the ceramic material resulting from its production by cofritting of the said components.
Abstract:
A gun for a linear-beam electron tube has a control grid for modulating the beam current which consists of an array of conductive web elements whose spacing from each other is much larger than their spacing from the concave emissive surface of the cathode. It was found that when this condition is met the grid can be operated at cathode potential while beam current is being drawn without distorting the electric accelerating field enough to ruin the focusing of the beam. Thus, when the grid is used to pulse the beam current on and off, it can have zero bias in the "on" condition, whereby the pulse modulator can be greatly simplified.
Abstract:
Shifting of the electron beam emitted from an electron gun is eliminated by placement of deflection electrodes between the electron gun anode and object electrode, whereby the electron beam, during blanking, is deflected away from the electron gun central axis and caused to totally impinge upon blanking and spray electrodes. For deflections less than the deflection required for total blanking, the electron beam is diminished in intensity but is not moved in position from the central gun axis.
Abstract:
Electron gun having a source of electrons, means for forming the electrons into a beam directed along an axis, and an output electrode comprising a plurality of semi-cylindrical plates disposed coaxially of the axis of the beam. This electrode is part of the final lens of the gun, and voltages for deflecting the beam and correcting astigmatism are superposed on the plates of this electrode.
Abstract:
The rotationally-symmetric electron gun of a cathode-ray tube device comprises successively a cathode, a disk-shaped control grid provided with a central control, grid aperture and a diskshaped anode grid provided with a central circular-cylindrical anode grid aperture. The cathode comprises a first conductive circular cylinder from the base of which a second conductive circular cylinder projects the base of which forms the emitting surface. The control grid aperture, on the side of the anode grid, has a circular-cylindrical part and, on the side of the cathode, has a conical part which narrows towards the circularcylindrical part, the wall of which encloses substantially an angle of 45* with the axis of the electron gun. The diameter of the said first conductive circular cylinder and the diameter of the said circular-cylindrical part are substantially six times as large as the diameter of the emitting surface, while the diameter of the anode grid aperture is substantially four times as large, the length of the said second conductive cylinder is substantially twice as large, the distance between the emitting surface and the said circular-cylindrical part is substantially equally large, the axial length of the said conical part is at least equally large and the distance between the control grid and the anode grid is substantially one and a half times as large as the diameter of the emitting surface. The control grid is kept at a negative potential relative to the cathode. The anode is kept at a positive potential which is substantially four and a half times as large, relative to the cathode, while the space on the side of the anode grid remote from the control grid is kept substantially field-free.
