Abstract
An electron multiplier includes a plurality of staggered parallel dynodes. The dynodes include spaced confinement bumps along their lengths with active areas between the bumps. The confinement bumps and active areas therebetween define a plurality of channels which extend from a cathode at one end of the multiplier. Each channel traverses the staggered parallel dynodes and causes an electron beam to pass therethrough without spreading. The multiplier is useful in a display device which includes a plurality of line sources of electrons, e.g., a plurality of cathode stripes.
