Abstract

841,842. Photo-conductive arrangements. ELECTRIC & MUSICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. July 4, 1956 [July 23, 1955], No. 21375/55. Class 37. A photo-conductive layer is formed by evaporating photo-conductive material in a gas on to a support to form a porous layer which is then heated to a temperature which is such as to increase its sensitivity but is below that which would change its crystalline form. A further solid layer may be evaporated on to the porous layer. Suitable materials are antimony tri-sulphide, zinc selenide, cadmium sulphide, cadmuim selenide, and germanium sulphide. Fig. 1 shows a television pick-up tube comprising a glass envelope 1 with an electron gun assembly 8, 10 and an optical window 3 forming the support for a transparent conductive coating 14, a porous, spongy photo-conductive layer 21 and a solid photo-conductive layer 22. Coating 14 which constitutes a signal electrode may consist of a tin salt. A grid 15 constitutes an ion trap and is connected to anode 16. Porous layer 21 is formed by heating the envelope including an evaporator boat 19 containing for example, antimony trisulphide, in an atmosphere of xenon, argon, nitrogen or air at a pressure of about 1 mm. Hg. During this process some of the material deposits on to grid 15 and anode 16. The evaporator boat 19 is then removed into side tube 2 which is sealed off. Layer 21 is then baked at a temperature between 140‹C and 200‹C for 15 minutes to increase its sensitivity. If a further layer of solid material is required, as described in Specification 827,058, anode 16 and grid 15 are inductively heated in vacuo to re-evaporate the material deposited thereon to form layer 22. Window 3 may be cooled during this process. The porous layer may be 2À5 Á thick and the solid layer 0À5 Á. Specification 841,843 also is referred to. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 707,125.
