Abstract:
In an electron tube including vibration absorbers for linear members such as filaments, a vibration absorbing means that is made of a vibration absorber with a large vibration absorption effect, has a simple configuration, and is attachable easily to filaments is provided. The vibration absorbing means is formed of a holder 231, a vibration absorber 241, and a getter shielding member 251. These three members are attached to a shielding electrode S overlying the front substrate 111 to dispose the vibration absorber 241 between the holder 231 and getter shielding member 251. The vibration absorber 241 is mounted to slide or rotate between the holder 231 and the getter shielding member 251. The vibration absorber 241 has an aperture 2413 in which the filament is engaged. The bottom (apex) of the aperture 2413 is formed eccentrically. The vibration absorber 241 is in line contact with the shielding electrode S, as shown in FIG. 3(c).
Abstract:
A method for forming patterned insulating elements on a substrate includes a plurality of exposure steps of exposing a photosensitive paste provided on the substrate through at least one mask having a predetermined pattern; a developing step of developing the exposed photosensitive paste to form a precursor pattern; and a firing step of firing the precursor pattern to form the patterned insulating elements. This method is applied to a method for forming an electron source and a method for forming an image display device including the electron source.
Abstract:
A thermal device, such as a glow discharge starter, includes an hermetically sealed envelope containing an ionizable medium, a bimetallic electrode having a bimetallic element associated therewith, and a counter electrode. A mount sealed in the envelope includes a glass stem having a disk-shaped portion extending substantially across the envelope and a longitudinally-extending planar portion. The transverse portion of the mount assists in centering the electrodes within the envelope and preventing the bimetallic element from oxidizing during the manufacturing process when the mount is sealed to the envelope. Preferably, the transverse portion is disk-shaped having a radius within the range of from about 89 to 93 percent of the internal radius of the envelope. The defined thickness of the planar portion of the glass stem allows rapid transfer of heat during sealing so that the planar portion can effectively be sealed to the envelope without developing seal cracks.
