Abstract: The present invention enables a reduction in the number of electrical conductors which must be connected to each pixel in a field emission display. A first feature of the invention is that the functions of a conventional power supply ground conductor and a conventional "row enable" logic signal conductor are combined in a single "inverted row enable" logic signal conductor for each display row. A second feature is that the functions of a conventional "column enable" logic signal conductor and a conventional luminance signal conductor are combined in a "column luminance" signal conductor for each display column. The first feature is implemented by connecting the "inverted row enable" logic signal conductor as the source of emitter tip current for all the pixels in a display row. The second feature is implemented by gating (logically ANDing) a luminance signal by a "column enable" logic function to create a column luminance signal for each display column. The current flow through the emitter tips of each pixel, and hence the luminance of each pixel, is controlled by a transistor connected in series between the emitter tips of that pixel and the "row enable" signal conductor for the display row containing that pixel. The gate of the transistor connects to a conductor carrying the "column luminance" signal for the display column containing that pixel.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for exposing a treatment site in a patient to x-ray radiation is described that uses a pulse voltage source, where the x-ray emitter employs a cold cathode. The invention may further include a current sensor for measuring a current through the x-ray emitter, and, optionally, a current integrator connected to the current sensor. Each voltage pulse may be discontinued when a predetermined amount of charge has passed through the emitter. The step of moving an x-ray emitter past a treatment area at a rate determined by the amount of charge that has passed through the emitter is also described. The present invention also includes an x-ray emitter device with rectangular voltage pulses added to a base direct current voltage. Another step of the invention may be applying a voltage pulse cycle to the x-ray emitter where a duration of the pulse is 2-5 times lower than a thermal relaxation time of an emitter.
