摘要:
A method of manufacturing a cathode-ray tube is provided by drawing a glass tube section softened by heating onto a mandrel whose transverse dimensions increase near one end of the tube section in the direction of the end at least twice in a generally stepwise manner, so that in the direction of the end, upon drawing, at least a first and a second wall portion of the inner wall of the tube section become located in planes substantially perpendicular to the tube axis. The first wall portion may serve as an engaging surface for an electrode and the second wall portion may serve as an engaging surface for the window. A third drawn wall portion may serve as a reference face of the tube in a device.
摘要:
In a cathode-ray tube, in particular a camera tube, the inner wall of the glass envelope is coated with an electrically conductive material interrupted in the proximity of electrodes extending transversely to the wall coating and supported by transversely extending supporting surfaces. At the area of each of the interruptions the envelope has a stepwise decrease of the inside diameter in two steps. In the direction of decreasing diameter the first of these steps constitutes the supporting surface for the transverse electrode and the interruption in the wall coating is provided on a wall portion of the second of these steps. The interruptions provided in this manner do not exert any disturbing influence on the electron beam in the tube.
摘要:
A display tube comprising in an evacuated envelope (1) an electron gun system (6) for generating and focusing by means of a focusing lens at least two electron beams (28 to 35) on a display screen (5), which electron beams are deflected by deflection means and describe a frame on the display screen. The electron gun system (6) comprises at least two electron sources (20 to 26), the electrons in each electron beam being accelerated immediately after leaving the electron source by means of an electric field having a field strength exceeding 600 V/mm. The central axes (36) of the electron beam extend substantially parallel to each other, and all beams are converged by the focusing lens in the immediate proximity of the focus of the focusing lens, after which each separate beam is focused on the display screen by the focusing lens to form a spot. The astigmatism and the coma of the focusing lens, especially for objects not situated on the tube axis, decreases rapidly with decreasing object potential with the beam aperture angle being kept the same. The electrons leave the source at a low potential and are then accelerated in a strong electric field exceeding 600 V/mm nearly immediately after leaving the electron source, thereby effecting production of a very narrow electron beam which remains narrow up to the display screen. The effect of the field curvature of the focusing lens is also considerably reduced by the narrow beams. If all electron beams through the focusing lens converge in the immediate proximity of the focus of the focusing lens, a minimum of aberrations as a result of the deflection is obtained. The electron sources are preferably P-N cathodes or diode type electron guns.
摘要:
A cathode-ray tube having an electron gun to generate an electron beam and a focusing lens to focus the electron beam on a target. The anode of the electron gun forms part of the focusing lens and has a very small aperture to limit the electron beam. In order to prevent positive ions formed in the tube from poisoning the cathode the potential of the anode is at most 75 volts relative to the cathode potential and the distance from the center of the focusing lens to the aperture in the anode is at least equal to 1.5 times the largest dimension of the anode taken in a cross-section at right angles to the axis.
