Patent number: 5027029Abstract: An indirectly heated type cathode assembly comprises a cathode sleeve having a heater within itself and having an emitter-impregnated type cathode disc fitted at one end, a plurality of straps connected at one end to a lower end portion of the cathode sleeve, and a cylinder holder whose upper end is connected to the other end of each strap, the holder being located outside the cathode sleeve such that it is spaced a predetermined distance apart from the cathode sleeve. A heat reflecting cylinder is located between the cathode sleeve and the holder of the indirectly heated type cathode assembly such that it is coaxial with the cathode sleeve and holder. The heat reflecting cylinder is supported by the holder and each strap extends such that it is not in contact with the heat reflecting cylinder. The strap is made of a Ta-W alloy or a Ta-W-Hf alloy.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 1989Date of Patent: June 25, 1991Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Toshiharu Higuchi, Sadao Matsumoto, Toru Yakabe, Sakae Kimura

Patent number: 4906893Abstract: An output phosphor film used in an output screen of an image intensifier is made of ZnS or (Zn, Cd)S host material and at least one activator element selected from the group consisting of Cu, Ag, Au, Al, and Cl. The phosphor film is formed on a face plate by means of chemical vapor-deposition, or physical vapor deposition in an inert-gas atmosphere having a pressure of 1 Pa or more, and is heat-treated. The formed phosphor film has hexagonal (Wurtzite-type) crystal and/or cubic (sphalerite-type) crystal structure. These crystals are orientated such that the (002) planes of the hexagonal crystals and/or the (111) planes of the cubic crystals are substantially parallel to the face plate.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 1988Date of Patent: March 6, 1990Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Katsuhisa Homma, Sakae Kimura, Masaru Nikaido, Yoshiaki Ouchi, Yoshiharu Obata, Yoshikazu Uemura, Syozo Sato
