A picture taking tube with pyroelectric target and a process for determining the axes of least expansion of the target are provided. A connection is formed between the two electrodes of the target and the point of contact of this connection with the electrode deposited on the target is situated in the vicinity of one of the axes of least expansion of the target.

A bipolar element having a non-linear conductivity characteristic is constituted by a semiconductor body placed between two dielectric layers, a source electrode, a drain electrode and a grid electrode. The grid electrode is constituted by a first grid electrode part electrically connected to the drain electrode and a second grid electrode part electrically connected to the source electrode. This bipolar element is adapted to be used as a commutating component, especially in visualization or display devices.

A Detection Matrix having elementary modules disposed in lines and in columns. Each module has a photoconductance, a thin-film MOS transistor and a storage capacitor. The gate of the transistor is connected to a line electrode. The source of the transistor is connected to a video amplifier, and the drain of the transistor is connected to one terminal of the photocapacitance and of the capacitor. The other terminal of the photoconductance of the capacitor are both connected to the line electrode following or preceding the line electrode connected to the gate of the transistor.

Solid state image pickup

A matrix having photosensitive elements formed by thin-film technology on the same dielectric substrate and disposed at each crossing point of perpendicular lines and columns. An addressing MOS transistor, formed by thin-film technology and associated with each photosensitive element, receives periodically on its grid an enabling signal applied simultaneously to all the addressing transistors in the same line of photosensitive elements and is connected for transferring to a video amplifier the electric signals provided by each addressed line of photosensitive elements. An amplifier for these signals is associated with each photosensitive element and is formed by thin-film technology.

Electromagnetic radiation detection matrix

Process and device for suppressing interferences in a picture composed

A device for detecting the detection signal of the electron beam produced by an electron gun provided with a target on a semiconductor material. The target is scanned by the electron beam when operating. The target is provided upon one of its faces with a series of semiconductor elements generating electrical charge carriers under the effect of bombardment by the electron beam. The semiconductor elements are arranged, considered in the direction of scanning of the beam, to form an array of elementary generators. The array of elementary generators is designed to form two rows of elementary generator means. The rows are separated by a zone which is insensitive to the high energy electron beam when the latter is focused on that insensitive zone in the quiescent state. The information from the corresponding elementary generator is furnished in operation by sequential read out of the elementary generators.
