A directly heated cathode structure includes a porous pellet impregnated with a thermionic emission material, a supporter for applying electrical power, and a filament fixed to the porous pellet, having an end, and fixed to the supporter, wherein the filament includes a connecting portion wider than the filament and fixed to the supporter at the end of the filament. The cathode structure is suitable for a color CRT such as a color television or a CRT for industrial use and having a large screen.

Directly heated cathode structure

An electron gun for cathode ray tubes which is easily assembled and reduces the cost is disclosed. The electron gun has a cathode holding structure. The cathode holding structure includes a support bracket which is fixedly fitted in the first electrode. The support bracket is provided with a plurality of insert holes spaced apart from each other. A plurality of hollow cases are received in the insert holes of the support bracket respectively and fixed to the support bracket. A cathode is concentrically received in each hollow case. The cathode holding structure also has an insulating material which is filled in the hollow case in order to hold and insulate the cathode in the hollow case. In the present invention, the gap between the cathodes and first electrode of the electron gun is easily adjusted thereby preventing the inferiority of the electron gun.

Electron gun for cathode ray tubes

A directly heated cathode structure includes a porous pellet impregnated with an electron radiating material, a cup-shaped container holding the porous pellet, a metal member welded to the container, and a filament between the container and the metal member, restricting thermionic emission through the base and sides of the pellet and extending the life of the cathode structure.

A directly heated cathode structure includes a porous pellet impregnated with a cathode material, a first metal member fixed to a surface of the porous pellet, a second metal member welded to the first metal member, and a filament interposed between the first and second metal members. A method for manufacturing a directly heated cathode structure includes manufacturing a porous pellet having a multiplicity of cavities, welding a first metal member to a surface of the porous pellet with a brazing layer, impregnating the cavities of the pellet with an electron radiating material, and welding a second metal member to the first metal member with a filament disposed between the first and second metal members. The useful life of the cathode structure is prolonged since thermions are not emitted through the surface of the pellet covered by the metal member.

A directly heated cathode structure includes a porous pellet impregnated with a cathode material, filaments connected to the porous pellet, a support supporting the filament, and an insulation block supporting the support, wherein the filaments are supported on the porous pellet by at least one auxiliary member. The supporting structure is very strong and the quality and productivity can be greatly improved by improvement of the filament welding process using the auxiliary members.
