Abstract:
Provided is a tungsten electrode material that can improve the life of an electrode than conventional by the use of a material in place of thorium oxide. The tungsten electrode material includes a tungsten base alloy and oxide particles dispersed in the tungsten base alloy, wherein the oxide particle is an oxide solid solution in which a Zr oxide and/or a Hf oxide and an oxide of at least one or more kinds of rare earth elements selected from Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu are solid-dissolved.
Abstract:
A fabrication method for an emitter includes the steps of forming on a glass substrate a CNT film which contains a plurality of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and constitutes an emitter electrode, forming a gate electrode via an insulating film on the CNT film, forming a plurality of gate openings in the gate electrode and the insulating film, and aligning upright the CNTs in the gate opening. The upright alignment generates a stable uniform emission current and provides excellent emission characteristics.
Abstract:
A thermal field emission cathode comprising a tungsten single crystal having an axis direction of and a coating layer of zirconium and oxygen formed thereon, wherein a source for supplying zirconium and oxygen contains an element capable of forming cubic or tetragonal zirconium oxide at an operation temperature of the thermal field emission cathode.
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.
