Abstract:
A method for making a thermionic electron source includes the following steps: (a) supplying a substrate; (b) forming a first electrode and a second electrode thereon; and (c) spanning a carbon nanotube film structure on a surface of the first electrode and the second electrode with a space defined between the thermionic emitter and the substrate.
Abstract:
In a heater for an indirectly-heated cathode having a double helical structure, a film which can be removed by heating at the temperature of 250.degree. to 350.degree. C. is disposed between adjacent portions in a vertical direction, of a helical core wire coated with an insulating layer. Since this film is disposed, the occurrence of cracks in the insulating layer can be prevented so that the insulating property between the heater and a cathode sleeve do not gel deteriorated and clogging of an electron beam aperture of a shadow mask can be prevented, too.
Abstract:
One embodiment provides a tungsten wire containing 1 to 10% by mass of rhenium, the wire having a point indicating a 2% elongation within a quadrangle formed by joining points with straight lines, where the values of x and y are point (20, 75), point (20, 87), point (90, 75), and point (90, 58), in this order; wherein the wire diameter of the tungsten wire is represented by x μm, and the elongation of the tungsten wire is 2% after electrically heating with an electrical current which is a ratio of y % to the fusion current (FC) at the wire diameter x μm, and wherein a semi-logarithmic system of coordinates is expressed by a horizontal axis using a logarithmic scale of the wire diameter x and a vertical axis using a normal scale of ratio y to the fusion current.
Abstract:
This invention provides a method of positioning and assembling in place cathode heaters of an electron gun for a cathode-ray tube, thereby resulting in improvements in assembling workability and in the white balance characteristic on the screen of the tube. A cathode heater structure includes a cathode heater and a heater supporter. The cathode heater includes a heat generating portion and a pair of leg portions extending from the heat generating portion. Each leg portion is formed with a bent engaging portion at its end. The heater supporter has guide grooves for receiving the engaging portions of the cathode heater to guide and position them. According to the method of the present invention, the cathode heaters are shot in sequence into the guide grooves of the heater supporter by means of shooters, and then the leg portions of the heaters caught and positioned in the guide grooves are welded to the guide grooves.
