Patent number: 6369498Abstract: A dual-gun, single neck CRT focuses two beams, with significantly differing energies, onto a secondary emission target while maintaining compatibility with a standard fourteen-rotation stem and achieving FTU in excess of 95%. A pair of Einzel guns (write and erase) are mounted in parallel and aligned in the vertical direction rather than the horizontal inside the CRT. The write and erase guns are configured to share a common second accelerator electrode, a common final accelerator electrode, mounting beads and a magnetic deflection yoke. The guns' focus voltages are independently adjusted so that both the write and erase beams have the same focal length.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 1999Date of Patent: April 9, 2002Assignee: Intel CorporationInventor: Thomas A. Skupien

Patent number: 4352043Abstract: A cathodoluminescent lamp for use for general lighting service includes an anode constituted by an electrically conducting coating, which may be partly internally reflective, on the interior surface of the bulb wall, a phosphor coating over the whole of the bulb wall interior, a dome-shaped metal mesh grid located near the junction of the bulb with the envelope neck and supported on a hollow metal cylinder, and an electron emissive cathode mounted within the grid/cylinder assembly. The cathode may be a "wreath" filament or indirectly heated disc located near the grid, or a linear filament located near the open end of the cylinder remote from the grid. In the latter case a metal disc, connected to the negative lead to the cathode, is located near the open end of the cylinder, to repel electrons emerging therefrom. A circuit, which may be incorporated in the lampholder, converts the supply to unidirectional operating voltages applied to the anode, grid and cathode.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 1981Date of Patent: September 28, 1982Assignee: The General Electric Company LimitedInventor: Sydney A. R. Rigden

Patent number: 3956712Abstract: A plurality of thermionic filaments are arranged in side-by-side relationship. A spreader electrode which may be in the form of a flat plate is placed on one side of the filaments, while an anode is placed on the other side of the filaments, with a grid being interposed between the filaments and the anode. The various aforementioned elements are given dimensions and positioned relative to each other and the voltages thereon adjusted so as to shape the trajectory of the electrons to provide a uniform distribution of electrons at the anode with a minimum dissipation of energy in the grid and spreader electrodes.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 1974Date of Patent: May 11, 1976Assignee: Northrop CorporationInventor: William Hant
