In a display device including a cathode filament containing a coiled portion and a linear portion thereof and a power feeding member, an end of the coiled portion is fixed to either a substrate made of an insulating material or an insulated support, the power feeding member being installed to contact with the linear portion of the cathode filament.

Display device using filament

A simple and slim double-faced vacuum fluorescent display device has no grid, thereby lowing the power consumption and fabrication cost thereof. Anode electrodes on one of the front plate and the back plate function as grids for anode electrodes on the other one of the front plate and the back plate. The light emitted from anode electrodes is not blocked by grids, thereby enhancing light emitting efficiency thereof.

Double-faced vacuum fluorescent display device and method for driving same

A fluorescent display device of the plane grid type capable of reducing accumulation of charges on an insulating layer, to thereby prevent an electron shading phenomenon and permit electrons emitted from a filament toward anode electrodes to be uniformly spread in a plane-like manner on both sides of the filament. A first substrate is formed thereon with stripe-like thin-film anode electrodes and stripe-like thin-film grids in a matrix-like manner through a thin-film insulating layer. The insulating layer and grids are formed with openings. Phosphors are deposited on portions of the anode electrodes exposed through the openings. The grids are formed into a height equal to or smaller than that of the phosphors. A second substrate is formed thereon with back electrodes for controlling emission of electrons from filaments. Control voltages applied to the back electrodes have a potential gradient given thereto so that a potential difference occurs between a position near the filaments and a position apart therefrom.

Fluorescent display device and method for driving same

A filament core wire capable of being mounted while having tension at a predetermined level applied thereto without an expensive anchor and without applying unnecessary tension thereto. The filament core wire is provided at a part thereof with spring and welded sections. The sections each are covered with a heat-decomposable block element made of acrylic resin or the like. Also, the core wire has a carbonate deposited thereon. The core wire is mounted on a mounting position by removing the block element from the welded section of the wire arranged on the fixing position by heating and then welding the welded section to a fixing spot of the fixing position. Then, block element is removed from the spring section by heating. This permits the filament core wire to be stretchedly arranged at the mounting position while keeping tension applied to the core wire to provide it with elasticity.

Filament for fluorescent display device

A fluorescent display device includes a first substrate, an insulating layer formed on the first substrate, n columns of m anodes, each anode having a fluorescent layer thereon, Q anode lead wires provided for each column of the m anodes, every Qth anodes being connected to a same anode lead wire, and m/Q grids, formed on the insulating layer, each grid being arranged across the n columns of m anodes, each grid being provided with openings for each column of m anodes, each opening exposing a portion of the first substrate and one anode being formed on the exposed portion of the first substrate.

Graphic fluorescent display device

The present invention relates to a composition for forming a fluorescent film for a display and a method of forming a fluorescent film for forming a display surface of a display unit. The composition for forming a fluorescent film for a display has an aqueous medium in which photosensitive resin having a styryl pyridium photosensitive group having an internal salt structure and a fluorescent material which easily reacts with acid are dispersed. The composition is applied to the display surface of a display unit so that a fluorescent layer is formed. Then, the fluorescent material layer is developed to form the fluorescent material layer into a predetermined pattern, and then the fluorescent material layer formed into the predetermined pattern is baked so that a fluorescent film is formed.
