Abstract: A photoconductive-ferroelectric device is employed as an erasable storage medium for recording and reading light patterns. The ferroelectric material may be a bismuth titanate crystal and its polarization pattern (corresponding to the recorded light pattern) is read out by directing linearly polarized light at the ab-face of the crystal, at an angle to the c-axis of the crystal and preferably perpendicular to the b-axis of the crystal. With proper choice of the direction of linear polarization, the incident light is phase delayed different amounts in the differently polarized regions of the crystal and this difference in phase may be detected and employed as the basis for reconstructing the light pattern. Operation in this way is found to provide substantially greater readout efficiency than has been available heretofore.

Abstract: A chain of planar dynodes is divided into two groups which are spaced from and substantially parallel to each other. A cathode which is capable of emitting electrons upon ion bombardment is at one end of the dynode chain. An envelope encloses the dynodes and the cathode. Also enclosed by the envelope are a plurality of shields. Each shield is located so as to prevent gas ions, present within the envelope, from striking the dynodes, while allowing the ions to strike the cathode.

Abstract: An electron multiplier includes a plurality of staggered parallel dynodes. The dynodes include spaced confinement bumps along their lengths with active areas between the bumps. The confinement bumps and active areas therebetween define a plurality of channels which extend from a cathode at one end of the multiplier. Each channel traverses the staggered parallel dynodes and causes an electron beam to pass therethrough without spreading. The multiplier is useful in a display device which includes a plurality of line sources of electrons, e.g., a plurality of cathode stripes.
