In a display device having an evacuated envelope, an electron beam guide and an electron generating means for generating beams of electrons, a modulator structure on which is disposed a plurality of control electrodes may be formed by interconnecting selected ones of the control electrodes which operate at a common potential. This interconnected electrode structure decreases the number of control electrodes which extend from the evacuated envelope. The electron generating means is shielded from the interconnected electrode structure to prevent perturbation of the generated electron beams.

Isolation busbar for a flat panel display device

In a display device a modulator structure may be formed by disposing on a surface of the back wall a plurality of first control electrodes. A modulator member having a smoothly continuous surface has disposed thereon a plurality of second control electrodes. The surfaces of the back wall and the top member having the electrodes thereon are joined together to form opposing pairs of control electrodes.

Modulator structure for a flat panel display device

A substantially flat, flexible, perforated interconnector of an electrically conductive material and such as a metal strip with holes or a metal mesh, is used to electrically connect conductors on a plurality of spaced substantially parallel insulating plates. The strip is placed across the edge of each of the plates adjacent to the conductors. An electrically conductive bonding material is placed on the strip at each plate with the bonding material extending through the openings in the strip and contacting the plates and the conductors. The bonding material adheres to the plates to mechanically secure the strip to the plates and contacts the conductors to provide an electrical connection between the strip and the conductors.
