  • Patent number: 8330345
    Abstract: An active electronically steered cathode (AESC) applies one or more electromagnetic modes to an input cavity, similar to that used in an inductive output tube. The structure and superposition of these modes creates local electric field maxima, causing the electron emission site or sites to move or be distributed across the surface of the cathode. Changing the amplitude, phase, or frequency of the modes provides time-variable control of the electric field profile, thereby generating electronically steered electron beams. One embodiment employs a pair of orthogonal TM modes driven out of phase, causing the electric field maximum to rotate around an annular cathode, producing a helical beam. Slots in the control grid may be used to segment the helical beam into discrete bunches to provide additional density modulation.

    Abstract: An electron gun includes a first focusing electrode and a second focusing electrode that are disposed so as to face each other and supplied with equal electric potentials. An electron beam passing aperture provided in at least one of a surface of the first focusing electrode facing the second focusing electrode and a surface of the second focusing electrode facing the first focusing electrode is a single opening common to three electron beams. Much of the magnetic flux from a scanning velocity modulation coil provided on outer peripheral surface of a neck portion of a funnel crosses this single opening. Thus, the scanning velocity modulation (SVM) sensitivity improves.

  • Patent number: 6822241
    Abstract: An emitter device including a focusing array with plural focusing columns to focus emissions from one or more emitters onto a target medium. Relative movement between the target medium and the focused emissions allows each focusing column to focus emissions over an area of the target medium encompassing the movement range. In a preferred embodiment, separate emitter, focusing array and target medium substrates are used. The focusing array may be moveable, or in a particularly preferred embodiment, is affixed to the emitter substrate, in which case the target medium substrate is movable or the focusing array includes beam direction control.

  • Publication number: 20040222376
    Abstract: When conditions for an electron gun mainly represented by extraction voltage V1 and accelerating voltage V0 are changed, a charged particle beam is once focused on a fixed position by means of a condenser lens and a virtual cathode position is calculated from a lens excitation of the condenser lens at that time and the mechanical positional relation of the electron gun to set an optical condition. For more accurate setting of the optical condition, a deflecting electrode device is provided at a crossover position of the condenser lens and a voltage is applied to the deflecting electrode device at a constant period so as to control the lens excitation of the condenser lens such that the amount of movement of an image is minimized on an image display unit such as CRT.

  • Patent number: 6815881
    Abstract: An electron gun includes plural aligned charged grids each having an aperture (in a monochrome CRT) or plural apertures (in a color CRT) through which an electron beam (or beams) is directed. The beams emitted by a cathode sequentially transit a beam forming region (BFR), a dynamic focus lens and a main focus lens prior to being incident on the CRT's display screen. The electron beam tends to expand in diameter in the direction of the CRT's display screen. This results in an increase in the focusing effect on the electron beam of the electron gun's grids in proceeding from the BFR toward the display screen where the beam passing apertures in the various grids are of the same size. To increase electron beam focusing sensitivity while reducing the beam's dynamic focus voltage, the beam passing apertures in the gun's dynamic focus lens are provided with progressively reduced size in proceeding toward the electron gun's cathode.

  • Patent number: 6800992
    Abstract: A focusing electrode and a final accelerating electrode accommodate, respectively, a first and a second field forming electrode in positions set back from a first and a second aperture of their end faces opposed to each other. The first and the second field forming electrode have three electron beam passage apertures disposed in an in-line arrangement. When the in-line direction is an X-axis direction, a direction perpendicular to the in-line direction is a Y-axis direction and the center of a central electron beam passage aperture formed in the first field forming electrode is X=0 and Y=0, the central electron beam passage aperture has a shape that passes through the intersection points of the X-axis and the Y-axis with a curve represented by the equation (X/R1)2+(Y/R2)2=1 (where R1 and R2 are constants) and that has an area smaller than the area encircled by the curve.

    Abstract: A cathode ray tube includes a bulb including a front panel and a funnel, and an electron gun. The front panel includes a color selection mechanism and phosphors on an inner surface thereof. The funnel includes a conductive layer on an inner wall thereof. The electron gun is accommodated in a neck portion of the funnel. The conductive layer is divided into at least two regions, each of which has a different electric potential. A high electric potential conductive layer having a high electric potential, an insulating region, a resistive layer, and a low electric potential conductive layer having an electric potential lower than that of the high electric potential conductive layer are formed in this order from the panel side to the electron gun side. With this configuration, the two conductive layers do not interfere with each other because of discharge or the like and are independent, and stable voltage can be maintained. Thus, an electrostatic lens can be formed.

  • Patent number: 6686686
    Abstract: A plural-beam cathode ray tube includes an electron gun directing electrons towards a faceplate having an electrode biased at screen potential. The electron beam is magnetically deflected to scan across the faceplate to impinge upon a pattern of phosphors thereon to produce light of different colors depicting an image. A first conductive coating near the tube neck is biased below screen potential and a second conductive coating between the neck electrode and the faceplate is biased at screen potential. A gap between the first and second conductive coatings varies in distance from the faceplate so as to be non-Z-planar. The non-Z-planar gap is preferably partly within the region wherein electrons are deflected by the magnetic deflection yoke and partly more proximate the faceplate than such deflection region.
