Abstract:
An oxide-coated cathode for an electron tube comprises a layer (2) of an electron-emissive substance. This layer (2) contains: an alkaline earth metal oxide as a principal component containing at least Ba; an oxide of Sc; and at least one heat-resisting oxide selected from the group consisting of oxides of Al, Si, Ta, V, Cr, Fe, Zr, Nb, Hf, Ta, Mo and W.
Abstract:
An oxide-coated cathode used for the electron tubes such as cathode ray tubes and camera tubes, comprising as the base a sintered product principally composed of an alkaline earth metal compound and a high-melting-point metal and having high heat conductivity and low specific resistance, said sintered product being either used singly or layered on a high-melting-point metal body containing a reducible element or elements as impurity, and an oxide cathode material coated on said base, and a method of producing such oxide-coated cathode.
Abstract:
Impregnated rare earth metal-containing barium-aluminum-scandate cathodes with a rare earth oxide doped tungsten matrix and methods for the fabrication thereof are described. In one aspect, an impregnated rare earth metal-containing barium-aluminum-scandate cathode comprises: a rare earth oxide doped tungsten matrix, and an impregnated active substance. The active substance comprises scandium oxide (Sc2O3), a second rare earth oxide, and barium calcium aluminate, wherein the molar ratio of Ba:Ca:Al is about 4:1:1.
Abstract:
An electrode for a hot cathode fluorescent lamp may include a main body that emits thermions, a conductive support that supports the main body, and a lead electrically connected to the conductive support. The main body includes no filament structure and may be made of a bulk material having a columnar shape or an ingot shape formed by a conductive mayenite compound.
Abstract:
An oxide cathode for an electron tube and a method for manufacturing the oxide cathode are provided. In the oxide cathode including a sleeve for a heater, a metal substrate formed on the top of the sleeve, and an electron emission material layer coated on the metal substrate, the electron emission material layer is formed by coating a carbonate paste containing an alkaline earth metal carbonate, an organic blowing agent, and a vehicle on the metal substrate by screen printing, and thermally treating the coated carbonate paste. Picture quality degradation due to a Moire phenomenon is reduced by coating the carbonate paste by screen printing to provide an even cathode surface, and degradation of the cathode by Joule heat is reduced, thereby improving electron emission and lifespan characteristics of the cathode.
Abstract:
A nickel alloy for the manufacture of cathodes for cathode-ray tubes, comprises magnesium and aluminium in proportions chosen so as to allow good adhesion of an emissive oxide layer to the basis metal cap consisting of the alloy.
