Abstract: Provided is a display device capable of preventing a common electrode from coming into contact with a lateral surface of an organic layer. The display device includes a plurality of light emitting elements, an insulating member, and a common electrode. The plurality of light emitting elements is two-dimensionally arranged. The light emitting elements each include a first electrode, an organic layer including a light emitting layer, and a second electrode in this order. The first electrode, the organic layer, and the second electrode are isolated for each of the light emitting elements. The common electrode is provided on the second electrodes of two or more of the light emitting elements. The insulating member covers the lateral surface of the organic layer of each of the light emitting elements.

Abstract: An impregnated type cathode unit and a manufacturing method therefor wherein a porous metal base and a cup member can be firmly joined together without using any interposition and the occurrence of weld defects can be eliminated to improve the reliability and yield of welding between the porous metal base and the cup member. The impregnated type cathode unit is composed of a porous metal base (11) impregnated with an electron emissive material and a cup member (12) for holding the porous metal base (11) so as to cover the bottom surface and side surface of the porous metal base (11) and expose the front surface of the porous metal base (11). A nonporous dense portion (14) is formed on the bottom surface of the porous metal base (11). The bottom portion of the cup member (12) is pressed to be deformed so as to follow the shape of the dense portion (14), thereby forming a close contact region (16).

Abstract: An impregnated cathode and a method of manufacturing the same are provided for suppressing emission of unwanted electrons and particles generated from an excess electron emitting substance so as to achieve a steady electron emission characteristic. The impregnated cathode is placed directly beneath an electron emission hole of a first grid. The impregnated cathode is made up of a first sintered porous element whose surface functions as an electron emitting region and a second sintered porous element whose surface is a peripheral region other than the electron emitting region. The porosity of the first sintered porous element is greater than that of the second sintered porous element. Not only the first sintered porous element having the electron emitting region but also the second sintered porous element corresponding to the region around the electron emitting region is impregnated with the electron emitting substance.

Abstract: An electron gun cathode structure includes a support member made of an insulating material, a first grid fixed to the support member, and a cathode disposed on the side of the support member opposite to the first grid. A thermal expansion .DELTA.L.sub.S /L.sub.S of the insulating material constituting the support member due to heat from the cathode is larger than a thermal expansion .DELTA.L.sub.G /L.sub.G of a material constituting the first grid due to heat from the cathode. A manufacturing method of an electron gun cathode structure includes preparing a member including a first face and a second face having a step therebetween, a height of the step being equal to a predetermined distance d.sub.12, placing a first grid on the first face, placing a spacer on the second face, placing an insulating support member on the first grid and the spacer, and grinding a top surface of the spacer opposite to its surface that is fixed to the support member so that an actual distance d.sub.12 becomes a desired value.

Abstract: In a cathode assembly of a cathode ray tube, a cathode having an emitter is inserted in a through-hole formed in an insulator. The emitter is provided so as to face a cylindrical electrode of a first grid at a predetermined distance. A hole communicating with the through-hole is formed at a longitudinal side of the insulator, and a tubularly rising shelter is provided between the emitter in the through-hole of the insulator and the hole. This satisfies (E.times.B)-(C.times.E)+(C.times.D)-(A.times.D).gtoreq.A. D, where the height of the hole is A, the height of the shelter is B, the length from the lower end of the shelter to the head of the cathode is C, the length between the cathode and the shelter is D, and the length between the cathode and the insulator is E. The cathode assembly prevents metal vapor, such as barium oxide of the cathode and nickel or chromium of the sleeve, from spreading through the hole of the insulator.
