Abstract

333,116. Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co., (Assignees of Zworykin, V. K.). Nov. 6, 1928, [Convention date]. Light-sensitive cells. - A light-sensitive cell comprises a closed container 1 of transparent material on the inner surface of which is deposited a layer 2 of gold of such thickness as to be almost transparent. On the layer 2 is a layer 3 of selenium, of such dimensions as to absorb at least one half of the incident light and backed by a layer 4 of reflecting metal (silver) of such thickness as to be almost opaque. The outside layers 2, 4 are connected to electrodes 6, 7 formed with contacting loops. The successive layers may be formed by the action of " sputtering " in which a discharge is passed through electroder, in the evacuated container with the cathode formed of the metal to be deposited. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) includes a construction of lightsensitive cell in which the metals are successively deposited on a separate supporting member, such as a watch-glass. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
