  • Patent number: 9865429
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for various advantageous methods and apparatus of controlling electron emission. One of the broader forms of the present disclosure involves an electron emission element, comprising an electron emitter including an electron emission region disposed between a gate electrode and a cathode electrode. An anode is disposed above the electron emission region, and a voltage set is disposed above the anode. A first voltage applied between the gate electrode and the cathode electrode controls a quantity of electrons generated from the electron emission region. A second voltage applied to the anode extracts generated electrons. A third voltage applied to the voltage set controls a direction of electrons extracted through the anode.

  • Patent number: 8957394
    Abstract: One embodiment relates to a high-voltage electron gun including an insulator stand-off having a resistive layer. The resistive layer is at least on an interior surface of the insulator stand-off. A cathode holder is coupled to one end of the insulator 115 stand-off, and an anode is coupled to the other end. The resistive layer advantageously increases the surface breakdown field strength for the insulator stand-off and so enables a compact design for the high-voltage electron gun. Other embodiments, aspects and feature are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6841924
    Abstract: A low voltage Einzel gun design maximizes the size of the second main lens to reduce spherical aberrations thereby reducing spot-size and improving focus quality. The gun's final accelerator electrode is formed as an internal conductive coating on the neck, which is connected to anode potential through an anode button. The jumper between the final and second accelerator electrodes is removed and the second accelerator electrode is connected through the high voltage stem pin to an external potential. Connection of the high voltage stem pin to anode potential defines an Einzel gun. The focus electrode is now connected to one of the low voltage stem pins. In a high voltage Einzel gun, connecting the second accelerator electrode and focus electrode to the high voltage and a low voltage stem pin, respectively, would cause arcing between the pins.

  • Patent number: 6617779
    Abstract: Roughly described, a CRT contains a magnetic loop bender which causes the beam to undergo a 270° (for example) bend and intersect itself before exiting the bender orthogonally with the screen. Downstream of the bender, the beam is deflected by conventional biaxial scanning means before impingement on the screen. A magnetic field stop plate can be added in a plane that passes through the beam intersection point and that lies parallel to the pole termination plane of the bender magnetic structure. An astigmatic beam shaping mechanism can also be included, as can post-deflection acceleration of the beam to provide further shortening of the tube depth as well as a focusing action that reduces the effect of beam enlargement due to mutual electron repulsion within the beam. All of the beam bending and deflection can be done by externally attached components.

  • Patent number: 6603252
    Abstract: A cathode ray tube includes an electron gun directing electrons towards a faceplate having an electrode biased at screen potential. The electron beam is magnetically deflected to scan across the faceplate to impinge upon phosphors thereon to produce light depicting an image or information. A neck electrode near the tube neck is biased at or below screen potential and a second electrode between the neck electrode and the faceplate is biased at or above screen potential. As a result, the electrons are deflected over a greater total angle than is obtained from the magnetic deflection. A third electrode proximate the faceplate is biased at or below screen potential to direct electrons towards the faceplate, thereby to increase the landing angle of the electrons thereon. A metal and ceramic support includes a resistive voltage divider to which ones of the electrodes connect.

The electron beam (three beams in a color tube) is magnetically deflected to scan across the faceplate to impinge upon phosphors thereon to produce light depicting an image or information. A first pair of electromagnetic coils forward of the tube neck and deflection yoke is biased by a substantially constant current level to further deflect the electron beam. As a result, the electrons are deflected over a greater total angle than is obtained from the magnetic deflection yoke alone. A further pair of electromagnetic coils proximate the faceplate is biased by an oppositely poled substantially constant current level to direct electrons towards the faceplate, thereby to increase the landing angle of the electrons thereon.

    Abstract: A color display device having an electron gun, a display screen, a color selection electrode and a deflection unit. The distance between the electron beams in the x-direction is dynamically varied, whereby the distance in the deflection space decreases as the beams are deflected in at least one direction. The reduction of the distance enables the distance between the color selection electrode and the display screen to be increased in that direction. As a result, the curvature of the color selection electrode is increased, which has a positive effect on the strength and the doming and microphonic properties of the color selection electrode.

  • Publication number: 20030048064
    Abstract: A color cathode ray tube (CRT) has an electron-optical system (1) for generating three electron beams (EBR, EBG, EBB), deflection means (2) and a screen (3). In operation, the deflection means (2) deflect the electron beams (EBR, EBG, EBB), so as to change a landing position of the beams on the screen (3). However, by deflecting the beams, the beams are defocused and the spot on the screen (3) changes. In a color cathode ray tube with a relatively large screen, the electron beam defocusing can be observed to be different in strength for each beam (EBR, EBG, EBB). The invention provides a solution to this problem by providing a modified DAF section (40) in the electron-optical system (1). The DAF section (40) comprises at least two electron lenses (L1, L2) having different strengths for each electron beam (EBR, EBG, EBB).

    Abstract: An electron gun for a color cathode ray tube taking a multi-level focusing form includes a focusing electrode and a pre-focusing electrode. The distances between the centers of the apertures of the focusing electrode are larger than the distances between the corresponding apertures of the pre-focusing electrode. The electron gun further includes a post-focusing electrode. The distances between the centers of the apertures of the focusing electrode are larger than those of the corresponding apertures of the post-focusing electrode. But, the center distances between the apertures of the pre-focusing electrode are equal to the center distances between the corresponding apertures of the post-focusing electrode. The post-focusing electrode is partitioned from the focusing electrode.

  • Patent number: 5637953
    Abstract: An electron beam device has a cathode that generates a fan-shaped electron beam. A first focusing lens includes first and second plates on opposed sides of a filament. The edges of the plates closest to a positively charged anode are arcuate, so that as individual electrons are accelerated normal to the edge of the charged plates, the beam increases in length with departure from the filament. A second focusing lens includes third and fourth plates on opposed sides of the first focusing lens. Each of the third and fourth plates has an arcuate edge proximate to the positively charged anode. The plates of the first and second focusing lenses provide focusing in a widthwise direction, while defining the increase in the lengthwise direction. Preferably, the filament is also curved. In the preferred embodiment, the curvature of the plates of the first focusing lens defines a common radius with the plates of the second focusing lens.
