    Abstract: Disclosed is an electrode for an electron source, a method for producing the same, and an electronic tube using the same which provide a decreased thickness of an electron emitting source, and an improved current distribution percentage. The electronic tube comprises a substrate, an electron emitting source area formed on the substrate, and a shield area around the electron emitting area. The shield area is formed of a material that does not produce an electron emitting source, when the electron emitting source is produced by a dry method. As a result, if a space between an electron drawing electrode and the electrode for the electron source is narrow, the percentage of anode current increases in the total current, thereby improving the current distribution percentage.

Each strip of magnetic material has a grain orientation parallel to its longitudinal axis and may be formed from grain-oriented ferromagnetic material in the range from M3 to M7. A multiple-layer magnetic shielding material is provided by securing first and second layers of such grain-oriented ferromagnetic material together with the grain orientation of the first layer orthogonal to the grain orientation of the second layer. Each strip of magnetic material may also be formed from this multiple-layer magnetic shielding material.

  • Patent number: 5962966
    Abstract: A second film that contains a substance that secures the conductivity of conductive particles is formed on a first film that contains the conductive particles. The first film and the second film are sintered at the same time. Thus, a conductive anti-reflection film having a sufficiently low surface resistance with a sufficient transmissivity for a high transparency can be obtained with high cost performance. When the conductive anti-reflection film is used for a cathode ray tube, it can almost prevent the AEF (Alternating Electric Field), display a picture in high quality, and be excellent in cost performance.

  • Patent number: 5907214
    Abstract: A cathode ray tube display device including unnecessary radiating magnetic field reducer which improves the ability to reduce an unnecessary radiating magnetic field, especially, generated by a vertical deflection coil. A pair of coil is disposed in opposing relationship on the opposite sides of the ferrite core along an X-axis or in the horizontal direction of the deflection yoke so as to be in contact with an open side end of the ferrite core. Each coil has a shape curved with a predetermined radius of curvature conforming to the shape of the outer peripheral surface of the ferrite core. The ferrite core acts as a magnetic material for the coils which reduces the unnecessary radiating magnetic fields to increase the coil inductances to thereby produce a large extremely low frequency magnetic field (ELMF) reducing effect.
