Abstract:
A cathode for an electron tube and a preparing method therefor are provided. In the cathode for an electron tube having a base metal and an electron-emitting material layer, the particle size of the micro structure of the surface of the base metal is controlled to be in the range of 3 to 50 &mgr;m. The cathode for an electron tube has an excellent effect of diffusing intermediate products generated during the operation of the cathode, and is capable of consistently supplying a diffusion path of a reducing agent. Also, the cut off drift rate can be reduced, thereby attaining a long life span characteristic.

A cathode for an electron tube provided with a base containing at least one kind of reducing agent, a metal layer whose main component is tungsten formed on the base, and an electron emission material layer whose main component is an alkaline-earth metal oxide including barium formed thereon, deformation of the base in operation is controlled by composing the metal layer with a porous metal layer and limiting the thickness and the porosity of the metal layer. As a result, it is possible to achieve a cathode for an electron tube applicable to a cathode-ray tube for a display in which the cutoff voltage is liable to change.
