Abstract:
In a DC gas discharge type image display apparatus including: a front glass substrate; a rear glass substrate facing the front glass substrate, interposing a discharge gas therebetween; a set of anodes including a plurality of line electrodes formed on the rear glass substrate; a set of cathodes including a plurality of line electrodes placed on the front glass substrate so as to perpendicularly cross the set of anodes; and a plurality of discharge cells, each being provided so as to correspond to each of the cross points of the set of anodes and the set of cathodes, the apparatus being driven in a refresh driving method or a memory driving method, the set of cathodes are formed by a spraying method. The cathodes are made from aluminum, nickel, an aluminum alloy or a nickel alloy. The discharge gas is a mixed gas of He and Xe.
Abstract:
In a method for manufacturing a glow cathode for an electron tube, a layer of an alloy, such as iridium-lanthanum (Ir.sub.2 La), is produced on a substrate by coating the substrate, such as in a number of layers, with the components of the alloy by deposition from the vapor phase, such that the components of the alloy are present in the stoichiometrically correct ratio on the substrate, and in that the substrate is heated for a time duration adequate for alloy formation to a temperature that is lower than the melting temperature of the phase of the alloy having the lowest melting point.
Abstract:
A THORIUM FILM THERMIONIC CATHODE IN ELECTRON DISCHARGE DEVICES AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME WHEREIN A HIGH MELTING METAL CARRIER, SUCH AS TUNGSTEN OR TUNGSTEN ALLOY, CONTAMINATED WITH THORIUM OXIDE IS PROVIDED WITH A COATING CONTAINING AN INNER LAYER OF TUNGSTEN CARBIDE AND AN OUTER LAYER OF A HIGH MELTING METAL HAVING MIGRATINAL PROPERTIES AND FUNCTIONING AS AN EMISSION BASE FOR THORIUM, SUCH AS OSMIUM OR RHENIUM.
