Abstract: There is provided a cathode-ray tube including an envelope having a neck, a funnel and a panel fused to the funnel by using frit glass, the outside of the panel being near flat, the inside of the panel having a predetermined curvature, in which 1.7≦T2/T1≦2.3 when T1 is the thickness of the center of the panel and T2 is the thickness of the diagonal corner of the panel, and a panel inside tensile stress at the fused portion of the panel and funnel is less than −1.3876x+128.24 (Kgf/cm2) when the size of the effective picture area of the cathode-ray tube is x(unit: cm). The panel inside tensile stress at the fused portion of the panel and funnel is maintained below a predetermined value to mitigate breakage inside the furnaces that occurs when the cathode-ray tube having the panel whose outside is near flat and whose inside has a predetermined curvature is reproduced, thereby improving the salvage rate.

The electron gun structure also comprises a voltage application unit for applying to the focus electrode a dynamic voltage increasing in accordance with an increase in a degree of deflection of the electron beams, and applying to the intermediate electrode a voltage obtained by dividing a voltage applied to the ultimate acceleration electrode by means of a voltage dividing resistor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tube emitting electromagnetic radiation which is made of glass or transparent non-fluorescent quartz, and has an elongated boring able to house a radiation-emitting filament or bundle. The boring has a substantially square or rectangular cross-section, at least two opposite sides of which form dioptric convex surfaces shaped to alter the direction of the radiation emitted by the filament or axis of the bundle so as to render them parallel or substantially parallel in the solid transparent glass medium.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electron gun having a sub-assembly to interconnect the beaded unit and the base of the electron gun. This sub-assembly is manufactured by making a pattern of apertures in a planar element, thereby forming a number of securing elements. In the next step, portions of the securing elements are bent out of the plane of the planar element and then connected to an insulating plate, thus forming the sub-assembly of securing elements and insulating plate. This sub-assembly is preferably provided with funnel-shaped apertures to lead the electric leads of a number of gun electrodes through the insulating plate. This allows an accurate and easy interconnection of the electric leads and the pins of the base.

Abstract: A glass funnel for a cathode ray tube capable of increasing the rigidity of a body portion having a rectangular-shaped open end portion and reducing the weight of the glass funnel wherein on at least a long side of the body portion, arched face portions are formed so as to be substantially perpendicular to an open end face of the body portion and an arch-like ridge portion in each of the arched face portions is extended to portions in the vicinity of the open end portion, whereby stresses generated in the body portion can be transmitted to the corner portions of high rigidity of the open end portion along the ridge portions.

Abstract: A mercury lamp of the short arc type which can stably emit an intense spectrum at a wavelength of 365 nm with an extremely narrowed band region over a long time, and which has an anode and a cathode disposed opposite one another in a silica glass arc tube which is filled with mercury and a rare gas, is achieved by the amount of mercury being less than or equal to 1.0 mg/cc of the inside volume of the arc tube and at least one of the gases argon (Ar) and krypton (Kr) are used as the rare gas at room temperature with 1.0 to 8.0 atm.

Abstract: A color cathode ray tube and a getter assembly for use in such a cathode ray tube. The getter assembly comprises a conducting strip for contacting a high-voltage contact with a magnetic screening cone inside a cone portion of the tube. Due to the relatively large deflection angle of modern cathode ray tubes with flat display screens, the getter assembly has to be made smaller. The getter assembly of the invention has a notch for directly engaging the high voltage contact. In case of reworking during the manufacturing process, an operator can slide the new getter assembly with the aid of a special tool, from the neck side along the inner wall for engagement with the high-voltage contact.

Abstract: Apparatus for displaying video images including a vacuum envelope which includes a neck portion and a display screen and an electron gun system. The electron gun system producing at least one electron beam, which in response to a magnetic field converges the at least one electron beam onto the display screen causing video images corresponding to the at least one electron beam to be displayed thereon.

Abstract: In a color display tube including an envelope including a front panel and a funnel, and an electron gun provided in a neck portion of the funnel, a horizontal outer diameter of the neck portion in a region on a rear end side is greater than a vertical outer diameter thereof in this region and a horizontal outer diameter thereof in a region on the front panel side, and a main lens of the electron gun is formed in the region on the rear end side. With this configuration, it is possible to achieve both an electric power saving and a high resolution in a display screen in a color display tube device, as well as to mount a deflection yoke in the color display tube easily.

Abstract: An electron gun for use in a cathode ray tube (CRT) includes a source of energetic electrons, i.e., a cathode, a beam forming region for forming the energetic electrons into a narrow beam, an arrangement for deflecting the beam over a display screen, and a focus arrangement for focusing the beam on the display screen in the form of a small spot in forming a video image. The beam forming region includes a G1 control grid, a G2 screen grid and a portion of a G3 grid in facing relation to the G2 grid, where each grid includes a respective aperture through which the electron beam is directed, with the apertures aligned along a common axis. The size of the aperture on the side of the G2 grid in facing relation to the G1 grid forms a first focusing lens and is smaller than the size of the aperture on the opposed side of the G2 grid in facing relation to the G3 grid which forms a second focusing lens.

Abstract: An incandescent lamp has a filament formed by a plurality of filament segments. Each segment is formed by a straight coil section. The segments are mutually parallel and arranged in several layers. A first layer of filament segments is arranged along a first curved surface, and a second layer of filament segments is arranged along a second curved surface. The two curved surfaces are symmetrical with respect to a plane.

Abstract: The electric lamp comprises a lamp vessel (1) and an electric element (4). The electric element (4) is electrically connected to the outside via a current feedthrough that comprises an outer current conductor (7). By a plastic deformation (12) of the outer current conductor (7), e.g. flattening, it is interlocked in the wall (2) of the lamp vessel (1) and the durability of the current feedthrough of the lamp against a mechanical load is improved.
