Abstract

1,005,482. Cathode-ray tubes. PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd. March 12, 1964 [March 15, 1963], No. 10404/64. Heading H1D. An electron tube for detecting infra-red radiation has a target screen 8 sensitive to infrared radiation and comprising a thin layer 9 of a material having a temperature-dependent electrical resistance supported by a support 10 and provided with an electrode 11, layer 9 being in the form of a film or foil of a polymerized material of low thermal conductivity, the specific electrical resistance (#) of the material being between 10<SP>6</SP> ohm/cm, and 10<SP>16</SP> ohm/cm., and the thermal electrical resistance variation (1/p #p/#T) per ‹C. being at least 5 per cent in a temperature range between 0‹ C. and 100‹ C. As shown, glass envelope 1 with window 2 contains an electron gun 3 and electrode system 4 terminated by a grid 5. The tube is surrounded by focusing and deflating coils (not shown) for electron beam 7 emitted from cathode 6 of gun 3 and scanning screen 8. Electrode 11 is connected to metal ring 12, signal resistor 13 and direct voltage source 14. During operation of the tube, infra-red radiation 15 is projected through window 2 on to screen 8, and by absorption in either electrode 11 or layer 9 or both is converted into heat. As a result the temperature of layer 9 is locally increased and hence the electrical resistance of layer 9 in the direction of thickness is reduced. When layer 9 is scanned by electron beam 7 the local reduction of its resistance shows itself as a corresponding electric signal across resistor 13. Layer 9 may be of polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl cyanurate, polyphosphonitrile chloride or a polychelate. Layer 9 may also contain a filler material which absorbs infra-red radiation and/or is electrically conductive. Electrode 11 may be of aluminium, gold or silver and it may be coated on its side remote from layer 9 with a thin layer which absorbs infra-red radiation and may be a silicate.
