Abstract: An electron device such as a fluorescent display tube is provided, wherein a simple ring-less getter can be simply fixed and arranged with a large degree of freedom. The ring-less getter is securely fixed to the inner surface of the glass anode substrate using laser beams. The laser beam is irradiated onto the ring-less getter from outside the anode substrate. Thus, the laser beam passes through the anode substrate thus heating and melting the ring-less getter. The corresponding inner surface of the anode substrate is melted through the heating. In cooling, the portion where the ring-less getter and the anode substrate are in a molten state is solidified, so that the ring-less getter is bonded to the anode substrate. The ring-less getter is shaped arbitrarily through press-working a getter material.

A vessel is assembled and sealed so that the front substrate faces the back substrate. A light is irradiated on the ring-less getter from outside of the sealed vessel, thereby activating the ring-less getter.

In the fluorescent display tube, linear members, such as, for example, wire grids and filament are sustained in a predetermined height, while both ends of each linear member are welded on a metal layer by ultrasonic. The fluorescent display tube includes a metal spacer for fixing the linear member and holding the linear members in an elevated position so that the dead space within the fluorescent display is reduced. The linear members are bonded on an aluminum thin films formed on the glass substrate 111 by way of the aluminum spacer. The aluminum spacer sustains the linear members in a predetermined height. Aluminum spacer acts as a member for fixing the linear member and as a height level holding member.

Abstract: A fluorescent luminous tube is provided that has a getter mirror film formed in an arbitrary shape by illuminating a laser beam onto a getter. In order to form the getter film 32, the rectangular ring-less getter 31 mounted on the anode substrate 11 is irradiated with the laser beam L from the outside of the front substrate 12 and thus is evaporated. In this process, when the illumination spot of the laser beam L is moved along the scanning line 33, the rectangular getter mirror film 32 is formed around the scanning line 33. The burnt region 34, which has the same shape and size as those of the scanning line 33, is formed using the laser beam L.

Abstract: An electron device such as a fluorescent display tube is provided, wherein a simple ring-less getter can be simply fixed and arranged with a large degree of freedom. The ring-less getter, G11 to G13, is securely fixed to the inner surface of the glass anode substrate 111, using laser beams. The laser beam is irradiated onto the ring-less getter, G11 to G13, from outside the anode substrate 111. Thus, the laser beam passes through the anode substrate 111, thus heating and melting the ring-less getter, G11 to G13. The corresponding inner surface of the anode substrate 111 is melted trough the heating. In cooling, the portion where the ring-less getter, G11 to G13, and the anode substrate 111 are in a molten state is solidified, so that the ring-less getter, G11 to G13, is bonded to the anode substrate 111. The ring-less getter, G11 to G13, is shaped arbitrarily through press-working a getter material.

Further, the other end portion of the wire shaped member is supported at the predetermined height by the second spacer and is fixed to the second metal.

Abstract: In a display for measurement devices for use in displaying a pointer image of a measurement, a movement of the pointer image is smooth and a visual perception of the pointer image is improved. As shown in FIG. 1A, a display segment group S formed of sub pointer image display segment columns is arranged along scales M in a semicircular shape (a fanwise shape). The pointer image P is made of four sub pointer image display segment columns Sx+1 to Sx+4. In case the pointer image P is moved from the position marked by the bold solid line to that represented by a bold dashed line, a new pointer image is made of sub pointer image display segment columns Sx+2 to Sx+5. In other words, the pointer image is moved in a unit of a sub pointer image display segment column.
