Oxide-coated cathode and method of producing the same

摘要

An oxide-coated cathode used for the electron tubes such as cathode ray tubes and camera tubes, comprising as the base a sintered product principally composed of an alkaline earth metal compound and a high-melting-point metal and having high heat conductivity and low specific resistance, said sintered product being either used singly or layered on a high-melting-point metal body containing a reducible element or elements as impurity, and an oxide cathode material coated on said base, and a method of producing such oxide-coated cathode.
