At least an effective region of the face of a panel of a cathode ray tube is held within a vacuum chamber. After the vacuum chamber is hermetically sealed from the outside of the vacuum chamber, a thin film is formed on the face of the panel by using a film-forming means.

Method of producing a cathode-ray tube and apparatus therefor

Cathode assembly, electron gun assembly, electron tube, heater, and

An indirectly heated type cathode assembly comprises a cathode sleeve having a heater within itself and having an emitter-impregnated type cathode disc fitted at one end, a plurality of straps connected at one end to a lower end portion of the cathode sleeve, and a cylinder holder whose upper end is connected to the other end of each strap, the holder being located outside the cathode sleeve such that it is spaced a predetermined distance apart from the cathode sleeve. A heat reflecting cylinder is located between the cathode sleeve and the holder of the indirectly heated type cathode assembly such that it is coaxial with the cathode sleeve and holder. The heat reflecting cylinder is supported by the holder and each strap extends such that it is not in contact with the heat reflecting cylinder. The strap is made of a Ta-W alloy or a Ta-W-Hf alloy. An electron gun structure comprises the indirectly heated type cathode assembly, a first grid placed in front of the indirectly heated type cathode assembly and an insulation support into which the first grid and the holder of the indirectly heated type cathode assembly are embedded partially and directly through a securing piece, respectively. The cathode disc is hidden, by a heat reflecting cylinder, from view at least that portion of the insulating support which is defined between an embedded spot of the first grid and that of the securing piece.

Indirectly heated cathode assembly and its associated electron gun

According to the present invention, an impregnated cathode is provided wherein an alloy layer of iridium and tungsten is formed on a surface of a porous pellet impregnated with an oxide of an alkali earth metal, wherein a crystal structure of the alloy has an .epsilon.II phase comprising an hcp structure whose lattice constants a and c satisfy 2.76.ltoreq.a.ltoreq.2.78 and 4.44.ltoreq.c.ltoreq.4.46, respectively. The impregnated cathode of the present invention maintains stable electron emission characteristics from an early stage of operation.

Impregnated cathode

An output phosphor film used in an output screen of an image intensifier is made of ZnS or (Zn, Cd)S host material and at least one activator element selected from the group consisting of Cu, Ag, Au, Al, and Cl. The phosphor film is formed on a face plate by means of chemical vapor-deposition, or physical vapor deposition in an inert-gas atmosphere having a pressure of 1 Pa or more, and is heat-treated. The formed phosphor film has hexagonal (Wurtzite-type) crystal and/or cubic (sphalerite-type) crystal structure. These crystals are orientated such that the (002) planes of the hexagonal crystals and/or the (111) planes of the cubic crystals are substantially parallel to the face plate.

An indirectly heated cathode structure for electron tubes comprises a cathode supporting sleeve, an electron emission section fitted on a part of the supporting sleeve, and a heater arranged inside the supporting sleeve, the supporting sleeve being an alloy containing niobium as a main component, more particularly more than 85 weight % of niobium. As an additive, at least one metal selected from titanium, zirconium, hafnium, vanadium, tantalum, molybdenum and tungsten is used.

A getter device is disclosed in which at least on the exposed surface of a getter material filled in a metal getter container and containing a barium-aluminum alloy powder and a nickel powder is formed a gas-impermeable film of a boron compound or a mixture of a boron compound with silicon oxide.

Getter device

A sintered electrode in a discharge tube comprises a sintered compact body and a cesium compound layer deposited on the sintered compact body. The sintered compact body comprises a gas getter such as titanium in the range of 5 to 50% by weight of the body, an additive for sintering such as silicon oxide in the range 0.1 to 1.0% by weight of the body and the remainder formed by a high melting point metal such as tantalum.

Sintered electrode in a discharge tube

An indirectly-heated cathode device for electron tubes, comprising a hollow cathode sleeve of thin wall, a base metal mounted to one end of the sleeve and having the surface coated with an electron-emitting material, and a heater mounted within the sleeve. The sleeve is made of Ni-Cr alloy containing 2 to 35% by weight of Cr and predetermined amounts of additives including Co, W, Mo and/or Fe.
