摘要:
An electron beam scan conversion method and apparatus based on the gain recovery or "dead" time characteristic of channel electron multipliers. The waveform of an electrical signal is written on the input face of a channel multiplier plate with an electron beam. Then, within the dead time of the written channels (typically about 1-100 msec.), the plate's input face is scanned in a predetermined raster pattern with a constant current beam. During the scanning step, an output signal is derived that corresponds to the difference in emission in response to the scanning beam between the channels in the written area of the plate and those outside that area.

A charge storage tube includes a target comprising a semiconductor substrate, an insulating layer formed on the semiconductor substrate and a metal electrode formed on the insulating layer, wherein a target potential of the target can be changed so that it becomes not only below a first cross-over potential but also over the first cross-over potential. In the charge storage tube, a signal is written in the target by a signal writing means to generate pairs of electron-hole in the target, a surface potential of the insulating layer with the written signal is changed so as to become over the first cross-over potential, and the written signal is read out by scanning electron beams on the target.
摘要:
A display system having a cathode ray tube signal generator in which a solid state junction target utilizes a layer of semiconductor material and a layer of dielectric material to form a junction. The signal generator may be of the monoscope type in which portions of the target are masked or it may be of the photosensitive type in which an image is projected onto the target. A signal derived from the signal generator is displayed on a second cathode ray tube.

An electron beam system using an electron beam source, a magnetic prism and a plurality of electron mirrors with associated electron beam focusing or cross-section control lenses and beam deflection units permits an electron beam from the electron beam source to be modified or acted upon as required by the electron mirrors as the electron beam is sequentially presented to the electron mirrors. An electron beam is directed to the first electron mirror where it is reflected and directed to the next electron mirror, etc. The electron beam is acted upon at an electron mirror in accordance with the voltage bias applied to the electron mirror. The voltage bias may be set to passively mirror the entire beam or a portion thereof, modulate the beam in accordance with the surface condition of the mirror or permit the beam to impinge on the mirror surface. The electron beam focusing or cross-section control lenses and deflection units provide for selective direction of the beam and control of the cross-section to determine the portion and size of such portion of an electron mirror surface which will influence or be influenced by the electron beam.

The circuit of the invention operates in conjunction with an imaging transducer to sense the loss of applied horizontal or vertical deflection signals, and to respond to such loss by changing the bias voltage on the transducer in a direction to turn ''''off'''' its electron beam.

A camera tube employing a radiation-sensitive target positioned to be scanned by an electron beam. The target comprises a wafer of semiconductive material having a substrate of semi-conductor material of one conductivity type, e.g. n-type silicon. A plurality of islands separated by grooves project from the substrate on the side scanned by the electron beam. These islands are of opposite conductivity type and form with the substrate rectifying junctions. On the exposed surface of each island is a metal layer which is separated from the semiconductive material of the island by an insulating layer having an aperture therein.

This invention relates to such electron image devices as television camera tubes and image intensifier tubes and includes in one illustrative embodiment an electrically conductive member upon which there is disposed a first layer or region of a secondary emissive material deposited in a porous form to allow conduction of the secondary electrons through the voids of the porous material, and a second layer or region of greater density than the first layer disposed upon the first region to inhibit the escape of the secondary electrons emitted within the volume of the first layer.
摘要:
A cathode-ray storage tube wherein the storage screen comprises an electrically conducting control layer overlaid with a layer of insulating material, having electron bombardment induced conductivity properties, which in turn is overlaid by a semicontinuous layer of charge-storage material. A writing gun bombards the insulating layer with electrons to produce localized paths of low conductivity between the charge-storage layer and the control layer, which is at a potential above the first crossover value of the secondary electron characteristic of the charge-storage material. Thereafter, electrons from a gun flooding the screen maintain a charge-storage pattern on the charge-storage layer by secondary electron emission at regions of the charge-storage layer corresponding to the localized conductive paths.

A flood gun control grid is placed between an electron gun and a backing electrode, and covers a given portion of the area of the backing electrode. This control grid is connected to control potentials sufficient to cutoff flood gun electrons. Write-gun electrons, having sufficiently high velocity, will not be cutoff by the flood control grid and will penetrate the grid and backing electrode to write directly on the portion of the viewing screen of the tube which is blocked by the flood-control grid.
