PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a CNT electron source allowing low-voltage drive and having high reliability, and provide an easy manufacturing method for a low-cost CNT electron source. SOLUTION: This Schottky emitter cathode includes a filament 2 of a first high-melting point metal; a monocrystal needle 1 of a second high-melting point metal having a facet, joined to the filament 2; and a reservoir 3 disposed on at least one of the monocrystal needle 1, the filament 2 and the junction part between the monocrystal needle 1 and the filament 2. The reservoir 3 contains a phase-stabilizing element or compound stabilizing one phase of ZrO2 in a temperature range of 293-1800 deg. K, and ZrO2. The phase-stabilizing element or compound is not a contaminant to the monocrystal needle 1, and is a substance substantially not increasing a work function of any other facet of the monocrystal needle 1.

PURPOSE: To provide a cathode having excellent electron emission characteristics by a method wherein yttrium oxide, scandium oxide or rare earth metal oxide, the bulk of which has a diameter of not more than 5μm, is contained as particles in electron discharge material. CONSTITUTION: A cathode 1 includes a cylindrical nichrome cathode shaft 3 equipped with a cap 7. This cathode shaft 3 accommodates a helical filament 4 comprising an electrical insulation aluminum oxide layer 6 and a metal helicoidal core 5. Moreover, a layer of a discharge material 2 having a thickness of approximately 70μm is positioned on the cap 7. In this layer 2, yttrium oxide, scandium oxide or rare earth metal oxide, the bulk of which has a diameter of not more than 5μm, preferably 1μm, is contained as particles in the electron discharge material. This leads to uniform discharge behavior so that the cathode can be obtained which acquires excellent electron emission characteristics.

Abstract:
A high pressure discharge lamp, in which an anode and a cathode are disposed opposite each other in a bulb, achieves a long service life due to thorium (Th) being stably supplied to the cathode tip for a long time after lamp operation has been commence since the formation of the flicker phenomenon is suppressed over a long time due to the cathode being made of tungsten which contains thorium oxide on a surface space from the cathode tip, a carbide layer of tungsten carbide is formed and the cathode being bordered by an emitter containing body of tungsten which contains thorium dioxide, and a carbide layer of tungsten carbide being formed at least in a region bordering the cathode.
Abstract:
A cathode for an electron tube, includes a base metal having nickel as a main component, and an electron emitting material layer containing an alkaline earth metal oxide having barium oxide as a main component, wherein a metal layer having zirconium as a main component is located between the base metal and the electron emitting material layer. The cathode has an excellent initial electron emitting characteristic and can emit a large quantity of electrons for a long time. Therefore, the cathode is suitable for a larger and higher-definition CRT.
