    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light emitting device with less uneven brightness and simple structure by spreading the emitting angle of electrons emitted from an electron emitting electrode, and accelerating many electron beams dispersed at wider angle, then irradiating the accelerated electron beams to a phosphor film. SOLUTION: Electrons emitted from a cold cathode 9 are spread in the lateral direction since the speed component parallel to a substrate on which the cold cathode 9 is formed is large. Electron beams 10 passed through a grid 17 are furthermore accelerated with a strong electric field between the grid 17 and a transparent anode 12, strike a phosphor layer 13, and light is emitted from the phosphor layer 13. Electrons are radiated to the phosphor layer 13 region far wider than the electron emitting region of the cold cathode 9, and light is emitted in the wider area. Equipotential surface 20 is formed in the space between the grid 17 and the transparent anode 12 with a grid 18, the direction of electron beams 10 in the periphery part is turned slightly inward, the angle that the electron beams 10 radiate the phosphor layer 13 is brought vertically close to the phosphor layer 13, reflection or radiation of the secondary electrons is prevented, and energy is effectively used in light emission.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To provide an electron gun having a long service life as well as a microwave tube having a high performance by forming a cold cathode having a spherical electron emission surface, and further forming an electron beam of high current density and small ripple. CONSTITUTION: An electron emission zone formed out of a material having a low work function, or an electron emission zone having a micro cold cathode processed and formed via a focusing ion beam(FIB) passing the center of the radius of curvature of a spherical surface 2 or the neighborhood thereof, is formed on a spherical substrate 1, thereby forming a cold cathode 6. Then, an electron gun is formed out of the cathode 6 and a beam formation electrode 21 at cathode potential or a beam formation electrode at positive or negative potential on the basis of the cathode potential as reference, and an anode 22. Furthermore, a microwave tube is also formed by use of the electron gun.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To improve the reliability by controlling a current by an active element as well as suppressing the dispersion of electron emission, in an electron emission type cathode device consisting of a plurality of cathodes. CONSTITUTION:A p-type silicon 5 and an n-type silicon 4 are formed on an n+-type silicon 6. A cathode 1 consisting of molybdenum Mo is formed on the n-type silicon 4, and the cathode 1 is surrounded by a gate electrode 2 and an insulating layer 3. The n-type silicon works as the channel part of a junction type of field effect transistor, and the current flowing there is controlled with the voltage given to the p-type silicon 5. Accordingly, the current by the electrons emitted from the cathode 1 is also controlled with the transistor, and by setting the operation in the saturation area of the transistor, the dispersion of the electron emission efficiency of each cathode can be controlled. Moreover, even if some cathodes are broken, the whole never breaks, so the life of the electric field emission type cathode device can be elongated.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To suppress the unevenness of the emission amount at a minimum amount by forming a field emission cold cathode element with an electrode having a sharp tip, an insulating layer, and a control electrode, and forming the periphery of the opening of the control electrode thicker than the parts other than the periphery part. CONSTITUTION:At the periphery of an electrode 2, both an insulator layer 3 and a gate layer 4 are removed, and an opening is formed. A gate electrode 6 is formed of a gate layer 4 and a gate opening periphery 5, and the periphery 5 is formed thicker than the other parts. In a normal operation, a positive voltage of several dozens V is applied to the gate electrode 6 to an emitter 2 at the potential same as a substrate 1. Since the tip of the emitter 2 is formed extremely sharp, and the tip of the emitter 2 and the gate electrode 6 are positioned extremely close, a strong electric field is applied to the tip of the emitter 2, and electrons are emitted from the tip. A minute cold electrode is composed of a single emitter and the opening of the electrode 6 around the emitter, and a single minute cold cathode or a collection of plural minute cold cathodes makes a cold cathode.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To reduce an influence of gate electric potential change between adjacent individual cathode segments by providing a shielding electrode between plural micro-cold cathodes, which consists of an emitter and a gate provided around the emitter, so as to surround the cold cathodes. CONSTITUTION:A shielding electrode 5 is separated from a gate 4 in a groove 6 part of an insulating layer 3 and each of the gates 4 is also separated from each other. The fixed voltage, for example, 100V on the basis of an emitter 2 on a semiconductor base plate 1, is always impressed to the electrode 5. When proper wiring is inserted to the gate 4, and for example, a control voltage varying 0-100V on the basis of the emitter 2 is impressed, a current emitted from the emitter 2 is varied. Even when the distance between adjacent emitters 2 is as extremely snort, as 10mum or less, the electrode 5 between the emitters 2 works as a shield, so that an influence on an emission electron beam orbit due to a change in an adjacent electric field is reduced to the extent that can be ignored.
