Abstract: A control grid for a cathode including a plurality of grid cells, with each grid cell including a deflecting layer, an insulating layer and a grid layer. The deflecting layer is in contact with the cathode; the insulating layer is between the deflecting layer and the grid layer; and the grid layer is at a positive voltage relative to the cathode, such that a voltage gradient is created between the cathode and the grid layer which accelerates electrons emitted by the cathode away from the cathode.

Abstract: An organic light emitting diode (OLED) lighting apparatus includes a light emitting panel including an organic light emitting diode, a housing for housing the light emitting panel, a cover coupled to the housing and covering a front-side edge of the light emitting panel, a plurality of pins disposed between the housing and the light emitting panel and supporting an edge of the light emitting panel, and at least one contact bar disposed between the plurality of pins and a back-side edge of the light emitting panel.

Abstract: A fluorescent display tube power supply device of a microwave oven provides a stable power source for the microcomputer by rectifying the output of the first secondary coil of the commercial AC power transformer, followed by rectifying a half wave of the second secondary coil of the same AC power transformer before feeding one-half cycle of the commercial AC current to the heater of the fluorescent display tube. The power supply uses a rectifying circuit for generating the double voltage for the second secondary coil, the double voltage being mixed in the direction in which it becomes lower than the stable voltage of the microcomputer, thus generating the display erase potential VP. As a result, luminance can be held constant respective display positions without causing the voltage of the display tube to vary throughout the ON-OFF operations of the heating power source, thus eventually achieving a highly satisfactory display effect.

Abstract: A storage target is disclosed for use in a scan converter storage tube, direct view storage tube, etc. Included are a storage substrate in the form of a single crystal of sapphire, and a collector electrode in the shape of a directional pattern on a storage surface of the storage substrate. In order to afford a high writing speed the directional pattern of the collector electrode is oriented at an angle ranging from -45 degrees to +45 degrees with respect to the projection of the c axis of the single sapphire crystal on the storage surface of the substrate. The collector electrode is preferably in the form of electrically interconnected parallel stripes extending in the direction of the projected c axis.

Abstract: A flat storage cathode ray tube with enhanced brightness is described. A mesh collector and a dielectric storage site array form an integral part of a silicon wafer. The silicon wafer includes thereon an addressable array of field effect transistors having a field effect transistor associated with a dielectric storage site in the storage site array for controlling a writing of the dielectric storage site. The addressable array of transistors works in cooperation with a flooding electron gun to effect selective writing of the storage site array. The enhanced brightness cathode ray tube may be adapted for use in a projection display.

Abstract: A storage target includes a dielectric storage medium in the form of a relatively rigid sheet of insulating material having high density, such as a single crystal sheet of sapphire. A film electrode is formed, as by vapor deposition of nickel or like conductive material, on one of the surfaces of the storage medium. An array of openings are defined by and extend through the storage medium and film electrode. In some embodiments the collector electrode of a direct-view storage tube is formed on the other surface of the storage medium, also as by vapor deposition of nickel and subsequent etching.

Abstract: A storage target for a cathode ray tube is formed by adhering a layer of glass to the rear of a glass faceplate and etching depressions or apertures in such layer. Secondary emissive dielectric or phosphor material applied in these depressions will have uniform depth and therefore uniform storage properties. A storage target according to the present invention is provided with a collector on the glass layer between the apertures therein, as well as with an undercollector between the glass layer and the faceplate.

Abstract: A multistable or memory electron beam addressed electroluminescent display panel is provided. The display panel is electron beam activated in the presence of an A. C. field, without the need of prior art flood guns. The panel may be activated or switched by direct electron beam activation of an electroluminescent film or by electron beam induced light radiation from a cathodoluminescent layer or from an insulating layer.

Abstract: A cathode ray tube includes first and second electrostatic quadrupole lens between the electron gun and the vertical deflection plates to properly focus the electron beam before it enters the vertical deflection plates. A third electrostatic quadrupole lens is located between the vertical deflection plates and the horizontal deflection plates to enhance the angle of deflection as well as to aid in the proper focus of the electron beam as it moves from the vertical deflection plates into the horizontal deflection plates thereby providing substantially improved vertical sensitivity and scan expansion of the electron beam while maintaining the beam velocity constant.

Abstract: A cathode ray storage tube provided with a storage target having a multiplicity of segments of the collector electrode extending through the dielectric layer of the storage target. These segments comprise dots or continuous or broken protrusions of conductive particles that have been photo-deposited into position onto the collector electrode and then the storage dielectric layer is applied thereover which has proper thickness so that the segments extend above the dielectric thereby providing collector areas for collecting secondary emitted electrons from the dielectric.
