1528687 Thermionic cathode constructions SONY CORP 31 March 1976 [3 April 1975] 13037/76 Heading H1D A thermionic cathode (e.g. for a "Trinitron" (Registered Trade Mark) type colour c.r.t.) comprises a ceramic (e.g. alumina) base plate 10, a heater layer (e.g. 11R, 11B, 11G) of W ceramic (e.g. alumina) layer 12, a cathode connection layer (e.g. 13R, 13B, 13G) comprising W, a metal layer (e.g. 14R, 14B, 14G), and a cathode emissive material (e.g. 15R, 15B, 15G), the heater layer extending over a larger area than the cathode connection layer, the metal layer, and the emissive material. Heater sections 11R, 11B, 11G may be a single strip or may be separate parallel connected portions and the W layer may include Th and/or Re. The connection layers are in the form of discshaped plate members (13S) (Fig. 2, not shown) with lead member (131) and may be Ni coated to improve electrical conductivity. Apertures or recesses 17 in base plate 10 accommodate shields for preventing cross-talk. Preparation is described of a ceramic for plate 10 using 94 wt. per cent Al 2 O 3 , 4À5% SiO 2 , 0À9% MgO and 0À6% CaO, heater layer 11 printed thereon using water glass as binder, layer 12 being printed to form a non-sintered layer using alumina with a binder, the connection layers being similarly formed to layer 11, the assembly subject to sintering, and organic binders removed. Layers 14R, 14G, 14B may be a coating of Ni with a reducing agent such as W or Mg applied to layers 13R, 13G, 13B coated with Au, or directly coated on layers 13R, 13G, 13B, by printing or vaporization. A paste of the carbonates of Ba, Sr or Ca, binder and solvent is screen printed or blown on layers 14R, 14G, 14B, and heat treated to form the oxides and remove binder and solvent. The thermal expansion coefficients of layers 10, 11, 12, 13 match sufficiently to reduce thermal distortions. W from the connection layers (and Th and Re when present) may diffuse to the emissive material in operation to assist reduction. The cathode structure may include other than three cathode members (e.g. one). |
