Patent number: 8018132Abstract: A bonding method using a bonding agent is provided, which has the steps of forming an underlayer on a first member, providing a bonding agent on the underlayer, forming a contact member, different from the bonding agent, on a second member, bringing the bonding agent into contact with the contact member so that the first member and the second member are bonded to each other. In the method described above, the wettability of the bonding agent to the underlayer is superior to that of the bonding agent to a surface of the first member before the underlayer is formed thereon, and the bondability of the bonding agent to the contact member is superior to that of the bonding agent to a surface of the second member before the contact member is formed thereon.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2010Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Mitsutoshi Hasegawa, Masaki Tokioka, Tokutaka Miura

Patent number: 8002602Abstract: A manufacturing method of a vacuum airtight container includes a baking step of baking, in a vacuum atmosphere, a container in which a first non-evaporable getter and a second non-evaporable getter having an activation temperature higher than that of the first non-evaporable getter are disposed. The baking step further includes steps of baking the entire container by increasing the temperatures of the container to a temperature T1 and holding the temperature T1, which is equal to or higher than an activation temperature of the first non-evaporable getter and is lower than an activation temperature of the second non-evaporable getter. After holding the temperature T1, the entire container is baked by increasing the temperature of the container to a temperature T2, which is higher than the activation temperature of the second non-evaporable getter.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2009Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tokutaka Miura, Mitsutoshi Hasegawa, Yoichi Ando

Patent number: 7857674Abstract: A bonding member, which can achieve a sufficient degree of vacuum without forming a gap caused by air bubbles that have been released out through the surface of the bonding member, a bonding method, an image display apparatus, and a manufacturing method therefor. The bonding member 92 of a strip has a first portion 92a and a second portion 92b. The first portion 92a has a uniform thickness t1. The second portion 92b has a smaller thickness t2 than the thickness t1 of the first portion 92a and constitutes a side plane of the bonding member 92. The second portion 92b also has a shape such that a convexity and a concavity alternate along a longitudinal direction of the bonding member 92.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2008Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Mitsutoshi Hasegawa, Kazuo Koyanagi, Tokutaka Miura, Kou Komatsu, Nobuhiro Ito

Patent number: 7559819Abstract: A joining material like an In film having a low melting point forms a surface oxide film when melted. If the oxide film is thick, an uneven surface shape will remain as it is, and can cause vacuum leakage during vacuum sealing. This problem is solved, for example, by placing particles of a refractory material inside the low melting joining material. The particles of the refractory material serve as a holding member for the low melting material and break the oxide film during a joining operation to bring the seal bonding with the low melting material to perfection.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2006Date of Patent: July 14, 2009Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masaki Tokioka, Hiroharu Ueda, Mitsutoshi Hasegawa, Tokutaka Miura

Publication number: 20070273267Abstract: An image display device comprises: a front substrate having a fluorescent member for displaying an image, and a metal back for covering the fluorescent member; a rear substrate having an electron emission element; and a support frame disposed between the front substrate and the rear substrate. In the image display device, a thickness of the metal back is 55 nm or more and 120 nm or less, and at least the metal back is covered with a getter. Thus, since the metal back of the front substrate is covered with the getter, a time-dependent deterioration of luminance is small and a lifetime is long even if a potential of the metal back is high.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2007Publication date: November 29, 2007Applicant: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Tokutaka Miura, Mitsutoshi Hasegawa
