Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the production cost, by composing a cathode, of a heater forming an alumina insulator layer over a heater core, metallic microwires wound over the heater, and an electron radiating substance spread over them. CONSTITUTION:A heater 3 consists of a heater core 1 of tungsten and an alumina insulator layer 2. Over the heater 3, tungsten wires are sound closely to form a cathode base 4 of metallic wires. In this case, the tungsten wires are wound closely from one end of the heater where the alumina insulator layer 2 is not applied, and the cathode base 4 and the heater 3 are connected electrically. Over the cathode base 4, an electron radiating substance 5 is spread and the both 4 and 5 form a cathode 6. The indirectly-heated cathode 6 does not use a tube-form substance as the cathode base like this. Therefore, a difficult work to penetrate a heater 3 in a small tube is not necessary. The production cost can be reduced consequently.

If the fluorescent display tube has a directly heated cathode, there will be a difference in brightness between the digits at both ends. This is because a potential difference equal to the cathode heating voltage occurs between the cathode and the anode at both ends of the cathode, that is, at both ends of the display digit. One method to improve this drawback is to use an indirectly heated cathode. A conventional indirectly heated cathode had a structure as shown in Figure 2. In other words, the heater core wire 11 is attached to the cathode base 14 made of a nickel thin tube.
A heater 13 having an alumina insulating layer 12 formed thereon is passed through. An electron emitting material 15 is coated on the nickel tube to form a cathode 16. One end of the nickel thin tube is caulked to the heater core wire and electrically connected to it. An indirectly heated cathode with such a structure was difficult to manufacture because it required the heater to pass through a nickel capillary. For this reason, it had the disadvantage that it could not be produced in large quantities at low cost.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an embodiment of the present invention. The heater 3 consists of a tungsten core wire 1 with a diameter of 50 .mu.m and an alumina insulating layer 2 with a thickness of about 20 .mu.m. The alumina insulating layer was deposited on the heater core wire by a single deposition method using alumina powder, and then sintered at 1650°C.

A tungsten wire having a diameter of 10 μm is tightly wound around the heater to form a cathode base 4. Since the tightly wound tungsten wires are in contact with each other, the resistance in the length direction of the cathode substrate is small. Note that the tungsten wire is tightly wound from one end of the heater where there is no alumina insulating layer, so that the cathode substrate and the heater are electrically connected. An electron emitting material 5 is coated on the cathode substrate to a thickness of about 15 μm, and the cathode substrate and the cathode substrate together form a cathode 6.

A tubular cathode substrate is not used as in the conventional case. Therefore, there is no need to perform difficult work such as passing the heater into the thin tube. Therefore, the manufacturing cost can be reduced. For example, the indirectly heated cathode of the present invention can be manufactured by the following simple method.

First, an alumina insulating layer is continuously formed on the heater core wire by 'tL deposition and firing. At this time, the voltage '1 applied during electrodeposition is turned off at both ends of the heater corresponding to the areas where there is no alumina insulating layer to prevent alumina from adhering. After manufacturing the heater, the heater is used as a winding core, and a tungsten wire is tightly wound to form a cathode substrate.
