Abstract
A scan converter storage tube has a storage target comprising at least two collector electrodes on a storage surface of a storage substrate. Each collector electrode has a multiplicity of parallel spaced strips which are electrically interconnected and which are arranged alternately with the strips of the other collector electrode, leaving exposed parts of the storage surface through the spacings therebetween. The establishment of a potential difference between the collector electrodes makes it possible to write information on the storage target at a high rate without necessitating an increase in an erase potential difference between the collector electrodes and the storage surface. The dual collector storage target also allows writing with a zero erase potential difference, dispensing with the erase mode preparatory to writing. There are also disclosed herein storage targets having three and four collector electrodes respectively.
