A cathode structure comprises a heater including a columnar ceramic body and a heating wire that is partially buried in the ceramic body, and a cathode unit disposed at a first end surface of the ceramic body. The heating wire leads out from a second end surface of the ceramic body.

Cathode structure including barrier for preventing metal bridging from heater to emitter

A cathode sleeve structure for housing a heater. The cathode sleeve structure includes: a case member that is cylindrical and an end thereof is open; a plurality of supporting members that extend radially from vicinities of the end of the case member; and a linkage member that connects the plurality of supporting members. The case member, the plurality of supporting members, and the linkage member are formed as one piece.

High-yield cathode body, cathode sleeve structure, and cathode-ray tube, cathode sleeve substrate, and cathode body production method

The present invention provides an electron gun which includes an electrically non-conductive substrate through which a perforation is provided. The electron gun is characterized in that a cathode-structure supporting member is welded to power-feeding members that are bonded to a stem side of the electrically non-conductive substrate, the cathode-structure supporting member supplying power to a heater included in a cathode structure. Structured as such, it becomes possible to reduce the size of the electron gun in the tube-axis direction, since an additional member for supporting the heater becomes unnecessary. In addition, the cathode-structure supporting member makes the electrically non-conductive substrate to work as a wiring board for supplying voltage to the cathode, thereby realizing a slim cathode-ray tube. Further, the above structure improves accuracy in the assembly process of the electron gun, thereby improving the yield factor.

Electron gun having short length and cathode-ray tube apparatus using such electron gun

An indirectly heated cathode that can enhance the withstand voltage and the efficiency of radiating heat from a heater to a tubular sleeve, and a cathode ray tube using such a cathode. The indirectly heated cathode comprises a hot cathode emitting electrons at one end, and a tubular sleeve including a high melting point metal and having a heater inside. A thermal absorption layer is formed on the inside face of the tubular sleeve and the thermal absorption layer contains a boron compound.

A method of manufacturing a heater comprises: (a) washing alumina particles with warm running-water of at least 40&deg; C.; (b) preparing a suspension for electrodeposition by suspending the washed alumina particles in a predetermined liquid; and (c) forming an alumina insulating layer made of the alumina particles on a metal wire as a heater base metal provided inside a cathode of an electron gun by electrophoresis using the suspension for electrodeposition.

Methods of manufacturing heater and cathode-ray tube comprising the same

In an indirectly heated cathode comprising a heater having an alumina electrical insulating layer formed by layering and sintering alumina particles on a surface of a metal wire and an electron-emitting part that receives heat from the heater and emits thermoelectrons, and a cathode-ray tube comprising the indirectly heated cathode, the alumina particles contained in the alumina electrical insulating layer have a purity of at least 99.7 wt % and the alumina particles used for forming the alumina electrical insulating layer have a Na content of 20 ppm or less or a Si content of 100 ppm or less, thus enabling stable production, avoiding the occurrence of cracks in the alumina electrical insulating layer and heater deformation even in the practical operation of the cathode-ray tube, and lengthening the life of the heater.

Indirectly heated cathode for a CRT having high purity alumina insulating layer with limited amounts of Na OR Si

A cathode-ray tube with high image quality in which electron beams with higher current density than the electron-emitting ability of cathodes are formed and a driving voltage of the cathodes can be decreased. A cathode-ray tube comprises a glass face-panel, a glass funnel connected to the rear part of the face-panel, and an electron gun for emitting electron beams that is contained in a neck portion of the funnel. On the peripheral surface of the funnel, a deflection yoke for deflecting the electron beams emitted from the electron gun is mounted. A phosphor dot for three colors of red, green and blue is applied on the inner surface of the face-panel, thus forming a phosphor screen surface. In the vicinity of the inner surface of the face-panel, a shadow mask is arranged substantially in parallel with the phosphor screen surface. Between the phosphor screen surface of the face-panel and the cathodes in the electron gun, a means for superimposing a plurality of electron beams on the predetermined phosphor dot is provided.
