Abstract: An indirectly heated filamentary cathode capable of significantly reducing its resistance, uniformly emitting electrons therefrom and effectively elminating its insulation failure. In the filamentary cathode, a cathode substrate is constituted by a metal conductive layer of a cylindrical shape arranged so as to be contacted with and electrically insulating layer and a fine metal wire wound which are closely contacted together, so that an electron emitting layer may be deposited through the metal conductive layer on the electrically insulating layer.

Abstract: An electron feed structure for a flat-type luminous device capable of permitting electron emitted from an electrons source to be uniformly fed throughout a display section. The electron feed structure includes an electron flow guide constituted by an inner guide electrode of a high voltage and an outer guide electrode of a low voltage, so that an electric field of a high voltage and that of a low voltage may be alternately formed to form electrostatic lenses in the guide, to thereby effectively prevent the function of the electron flow guide from being deteriorated.

Abstract: A flat type display device capable of being substantially thinned and carrying out display of very high definition on a large image plane. A plurality of electron streams emitted from a cathode arranged at one end of a airtight casing in a manner to be deviated from a phosphor screen section are guided and turned toward the phosphor screen section. Then, the electron streams are selected and controlled by an address electrode section, resulting in formation of an electron beam, which is then accelerated by an accelerating electrode section and impinged on the phosphor screen section for desired luminous display.

Abstract: A casing for a display device of the tipless type is disclosed which is capable of being readily manufactured, and allowing a display device to have a good space factor and exhibit excellent display characteristics. The casing comprises a casing body formed with an evacuation hole and a planar plate lid member arranged to sealingly close the evacuation hole by means of a sealer when the casing is evacuated.

Abstract: A process for making a fluorescent display device capable of accomplishing the mass production of a tipless fluorescent display device with good reliability and productivity is disclosed. The process is adapted to carry out, in a single chamber, a step of hermetically bonding an anode substrate and a casing together to form a hermetic envelope and a step of sealing the envelope in vacua.
