Patent number: 7635943Abstract: An image display apparatus is provided with a vacuum chamber consisting of an electron source substrate and an image display substrate, and an ion pump which is attached to an electron-emitting substrate or the image display substrate and exhausts air from the vacuum chamber by the action of a magnet, wherein the magnet is attached and fixed to the substrate to which the ion pump has been attached. Thereby, the image display apparatus prevents the magnet from applying an excessive force to the ion pump by its weight, and acquires a stable structure without causing a vacuum leak.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2005Date of Patent: December 22, 2009Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masaru Kamio, Ihachiro Gofuku, Hisanori Tsuda, Yasue Sato

Patent number: 7511425Abstract: In an image display apparatus composed of a vacuum container having an electron source composed of multiple electron-emitting devices and a phosphor film that is irradiated with an electron from the electron source to emit light for display, an ion pump for exhausting the vacuum container through a communicating path by virtue of an action of a magnetism forming portion is arranged. A magnetic shielding member is arranged in a space where the ion pump and the electron-emitting devices are in communication with each other, whereby an influence of a magnetic field generated by the magnetism forming portion on the trajectory of an electron emitted from any one of the electron-emitting devices and display luminance unevenness incidental to the influence are removed.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2005Date of Patent: March 31, 2009Assignees: Canon Kabushiki Kaisha, Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Hisanori Tsuda, Masaru Kamio, Ihachiro Gofuku, Yasue Sato, Yoshiyuki Shimada, Hiromasa Mitani, Kazuyuki Seino, Takashi Nishimura

Patent number: 7500897Abstract: In an image display device having in an airtight container an electron source and an image display member that receives electrons from the electron source, an evaporating getter and a non-evaporating getter are stacked in the airtight container. This makes it possible to maintain the vacuum level in the airtight container. The image display device thus obtains a prolonged life and a stable display operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2006Date of Patent: March 10, 2009Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Mitsutoshi Hasegawa, Ihachiro Gofuku, Masaki Tokioka, Kazuya Shigeoka, Tokutaka Miura

Patent number: 7439661Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide an image display apparatus in which the change over time of its electron source characteristics is small, and in which uneven brightness and color shift of an image is almost unnoticeable. To achieve this object, the present invention is directed to an image display apparatus containing an electron source substrate having a plurality of electron-emitting devices arrayed thereon, an image forming substrate arranged so as to face the electron source substrate and having a phosphor film and an anode electrode film, and magnetic field generating means, wherein a component parallel to the electron source substrate of a magnetic flux density of a magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generating means is not greater than 0.01 Tesla at any location of the electron-emitting devices.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2005Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignees: Canon Kabushiki Kaisha, Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Yasue Sato, Masaru Kamio, Ihachiro Gofuku, Hisanori Tsuda, Tomoko Narusawa, Yoshiyuki Shimada, Hiromasa Mitani, Kazuyuki Seino, Takashi Nishimura
