    Abstract: The invention relates to a cathode arrangement (20) comprising: • - a thermionic cathode comprising an emission portion (30) provided with an emission surface for emitting electrons, and a reservoir (38) for holding a material, wherein the material, when heated, releases work function lowering particles that diffuse towards the emission portion and emanate at the emission surface at a first evaporation rate; • - a focusing electrode (40) comprising a focusing surface for focusing the electrons emitted from the emission surface of the cathode; and • - an adjustable heat source (50) configured for keeping the focusing surface at a temperature at which accumulation of work function lowering particles on the focusing surface is prevented.

    Abstract: A gun for a linear-beam electron tube has a control grid (40) for modulating the beam current which consists of an array of conductive web elements (50, 52) whose spacing from each other is much larger than their spacing from the concave emissive surface (31) of the cathode (30). It was found that when this condition is met, the grid (40) 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 (40) 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: Electron-optical device having two elongate emitting regions arranged symmetrically with respect to a longitudinal axis for producing two electron beams having an elongate cross section. By means of electron grids, the two beams are focused at the same point of an electron target arranged transversely to the longitudinal axis and having a short central axis and a long central axis. The elongate emitting regions have their smallest cross section parallel to the scanning direction of a device, cooperating with the electron-optical device, for scanning a target arranged transversely to the longitudinal axis.

    Abstract: A tetrode (four electrode) gun (202) is described which allows the adjustment of both variable high brightness and illumination uniformity in the profile of the electron beam. This is achieved by providing an electrostatic focusing electrode (18) between the cathode (2) and the anode (8) within the electron gun. The focusing electrode is positively biased to a few keV and allows the image of the cathode to be focused at infinity. The addition of a focusing electrode enables both variable brightness and illumination uniformity by adjustment of the bias of a grid (4) which is mounted below the cathode to maintain constant emission, while adjusting the bias of the focusing electrode to obtain the optimal beam cross-sectional uniformity.

    Abstract: In a cathode ray tube provided with a limiting aperture (LA) in an electron gun, the axial potential between the limiting aperture (LA) and an electrode (SG) arranged at the rear stage of the limiting aperture (LA) is lower than a potential of the limiting aperture (LA) by several tens of volts, so that secondary electrons generated from the limiting aperture (LA) are hindered from reaching a fluorescent screen (1) or a target screen of the cathode ray tube.
