DEUTSCHESGERMAN
Es sind Bildaufnahmeröhren bekanntgeworden, bei denen als lichtempfindliche Schicht ein Photohalbleiter aus z. B. Antimon-Trisulfid oder Selen verwendet wird. Bei Röhren dieser Art, den sogenannten Vidikons, wurde festgestellt, daß der Helligkeitswert in den untersten Stufen eines von einem hellen Feld umgebenen Graukeils zu hoch wiedergegeben wird. Diese Störung tritt besonders bei mit einem Vidikon ausgerüsteten Kameras in Erscheinung, bei denen Qualitätsanforderungen hinsichtlich der Kontrastwiedergabe gestellt werden, und führt zu einer Verfälschung der Helligkeitswerte in kleineren Teilen der Bildfläche. Dieser Nachteil wurde von der Fachwelt bisher nicht beachtet. Von dem Erfinder durchgeführte Untersuchungen ergaben, daß das von der Photoschicht reflektierte Licht Ursache der Erscheinung ist.Image pick-up tubes have become known in which a photo semiconductor is used as the photosensitive layer from z. B. antimony trisulfide or selenium is used. With tubes of this type, the so-called Vidikons, it was found that the brightness value in the lowest levels is one of a bright field surrounding gray wedge is reproduced too high. This disorder occurs particularly with a vidicon equipped cameras in appearance, with which quality requirements in terms of contrast rendition and leads to a falsification of the brightness values in smaller parts of the Image area. This disadvantage has so far not been taken into account by experts. Performed by the inventor Investigations have shown that the light reflected from the photo layer is the cause of the phenomenon.
Die erfindungsgemäße Verbesserung von Vidikonröhren besteht nun darin, die Reflexion des Lichtes möglichst zu vermeiden oder das reflektierte Licht zu schwächen. Zum Beispiel kann man die Photoschicht so ausbilden, daß sie möglichst wenig Licht reflektiert, was etwa durch geeignete Färbung derselben geschehen kann. Es können auch Mittel zur Abschwächung des reflektierten Lichtes angewendet werden, wie sie zur Vermeidung des Lichthofes und der Wirkung des Raumlichtes bei Bildwiedergaberöhren bekanntgeworden sind.The improvement according to the invention of vidicon tubes now consists in the reflection of the light to avoid if possible or to weaken the reflected light. For example you can use the photo layer train so that it reflects as little light as possible, which can be achieved by appropriate coloring of the same can happen. Means to attenuate the reflected light can also be used, as they are used to avoid the halo and the effect of the room light with picture display tubes have become known.
Man hat bisher bei Bildaufnahmeröhren, z. B. Ikonoskopen, Image Orthikons, Bildwandlern usw., von der Verwendung der reflexionsmindernden Mittel abgesehen, da die innere Reflexion in der die lichtempfindliche Schicht tragende Glasplatte gering erschien und die bekannten optischen Mittel stets einen gewissen Lichtverlust mit sich bringen. Überraschenderweise hat sich im Zuge eingehender Versuche bei einer oszillographischen Untersuchung gezeigt, daß beim Vidikon die Störungen durch das an der aktiven Schicht zurückgeworfene Licht in nicht zu vernachlässigendem Maße auftreten. Eine genauere Nachprüfung hat ergeben, daß die optisch aktive Schicht beim Vidikon im Gegensatz zu den Leuchtschichten von Wiedergaberöhren in optischem Kontakt mit der Glasträgerplatte steht und außerdem in gewissem Umfang diffus reflektiert, so daß an der vorderen Begrenzung der Glasplatte eine Totalreflexion eines Teiles des Lichtes eintreten kann. Die erfindungsgemäß angewendeten Maßnahmen sind z. B. die Anbringung eines Glases von neutralgrauer Färbung in optischem Kontakt mit der Vorderfläche der Glasplatte, die Verwendung eines Grauglases als Träger der Photoschicht oder refiexionsmindernder Schichten oder einer Grauschicht an der der Halbleiterschicht gegenüberliegenden Begrenzung der Glasplatte.One has so far in image pickup tubes, z. B. iconoscopes, image orthicons, image converters, etc., apart from the use of antireflective agents, since the internal reflection in the light-sensitive The layer-bearing glass plate appeared to be small and the known optical means always one bring some loss of light with them. Surprisingly, in the course of extensive tests at An oscillographic investigation showed that the interference caused by the on the active in the vidicon Layer reflected light occur to a not insignificant extent. A closer examination has shown that the optically active layer in the vidicon in contrast to the luminous layers of display tubes is in optical contact with the glass support plate and also to a certain extent diffusely reflected, so that at the front boundary of the glass plate a total reflection of a Part of the light can enter. The measures used according to the invention are, for. B. the attachment a glass of neutral gray color in optical contact with the front surface of the glass plate, the use of a gray glass as a support for the photo layer or for the layers that reduce the reflection or a gray layer on the boundary of the glass plate opposite the semiconductor layer.

Messungen ergaben, daß ein in der Mitte eines sonst hellen Bildfeldes vorhandener schwarzer, senkrechter Streifen, der 10% der Zeilenlänge breit ist, ein Bildsignal von 40% als Schwarz-Weiß-Sprung gibt und daß bei dem Vidikon selbst bei einem 40% breiten Streifen in der Mitte desselben noch eine geringe Aufhellung eintritt.be to roughen the glass surface so that obliquely incident light rays in stronger Perimeter are weakened as a perpendicular incident ray. Measurements showed that one in the In the middle of an otherwise bright image field, there are black, vertical stripes that are 10% of the line length is wide, gives an image signal of 40% as a black-and-white jump and that with the vidicon itself in the case of a 40% wide strip in the middle of the same, there is still a slight lightening.
Zur weiteren Erläuterung der Erfindung wird nun auf die Zeichnung Bezug genommen, in der eine mit den erfindungsgemäßen Hilfsmitteln ausgestattete Vidikonröhre dargestellt ist.To further explain the invention, reference is now made to the drawing, in which one with the aids according to the invention equipped vidicon tube is shown.
In dieser Röhre ist mit 1 ein Strahlsystem bezeichnet, welches einen Elektronenstrahl erzeugt, der mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 20 bis 50 V auf der Vorderseite der Röhre angebrachte Halbleiterschicht 2 auftrifft. Die Halbleiterschicht wird von einer Glasplatte 3 getragen, die erfindungsgemäß z. B. aus Grauglas hergestellt sein kann. Nach einer anderen Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann die Glasplatte 3 durch eine aufgekittete weitere Glasplatte verstärkt werden, so daß der Lichthof in jedem Falle weiter verteilt und verdünnt wird, so daß eine Kontrastverminderung weniger bemerkbar ist. Nach einer anderen Ausführungsform kann die Glasplatte 3 mit einer Vergütungsschicht versehen werden, welche die Oberflächenreflexion herabsetzt.In this tube, 1 denotes a beam system which generates an electron beam that semiconductor layer 2 deposited on the front of the tube at a rate of 20 to 50 volts hits. The semiconductor layer is carried by a glass plate 3 which, according to the invention, for. B. made of gray glass can be made. According to another embodiment of the invention, the glass plate 3 be reinforced by a further cemented glass plate, so that the atrium in any case is further distributed and diluted so that a reduction in contrast is less noticeable. After a Another embodiment, the glass plate 3 can be provided with a coating, which the Reduces surface reflection.
