Abstract

546,519. Cathode-ray tubes. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd. May 15, 1941, No. 6289. Convention date, May 15, 1940. [Class 39 (i)] A cathode-ray tube for television transmission comprises a mosaic target 18 on which an electrostatic image of the information to be transmitted is generated and which faces away from the source 9 of the scanning beam ; the target is offset from the normal path of the beam which is guided beyond and back to the target to neutralize the electrostatic image thereon. As shown, the target is positioned at the point where a cylindrical part 4 and a toroidal part 2 of the envelope join. A photo-cathode 5 is placed at the window 3 of the part 2 to receive the optical image of an object 6. The electron gun system 9 is placed at the free end of the cylindrical part 4. A magnetic coil 10 surrounds the envelope and extends over the whole space between the gun 9 and photo-cathode 5, and preferably slightly beyond. A main coating 20, and ring shaped coatings 21, 22 are formed on the inner wall of the toroidal portion of the envelope to form electrodes. Alternatively these may be replaced by fine wire mesh. The electron gun and the deflecting means comprising electrostatic plates 14 and magnetic coils 15 are as described in Specification 542,219. The signal plate 19 and the cathode 9 operate at zero potential, the potential of the photo-cathode 5 is negative and the coating 20 positive relatively to the cathode 9; the potential of the rings 21, 22 are intermediate the potentials of 5 and 20, and 9 and 20 respectively. With this arrangement, the electron image thrown on the mosaic by the photo-cathode is displaced laterally and sheared mto rhomboidal form as shown at 29, Fig. 3. The scanning electron beam after passing the mosaic is reflected and the scanning area is also displaced and sheared to coincide with the electrostatic image. The conditions necessary are that the velocity of the scanning beam when passing the mosaic is about “ the velocity of the electron beam from the photo-cathode. This ratio may be dispensed if the plan of one of the co-ordinate deflections of the scanning beam is made non- perpendicular to the other.
