12 Claims. 1
This invention relates to cathode-ray tubes, and more particularly to such tubes for use in electro-static digital data storage systems. A system of this type is described by F. C. Williams and T. Kilburn in their paper entitled A Storage System for Use with Binary-Digital Computing Machines which appeared at pages 81-100 of the Proceedings of the Institution of Electrical Engineers for March 1949. In storage tubes of this general type, the capacity for storing bits of digital information for a given size of tube depends not only upon the size or cross-section of the electron beam but also upon the uniformity or freedom from de-focusing of the beam as a function of its deflection. With a given circuit, access time to the stored information is dependent upon the deflection sensitivity of the tube.
Previously known cathode-ray tubes have not proved entirely satisfactory for use in such storage systems because the amount of digital information which could be stored in a given tube was seriously limited by the minimum size of the electron beam which could be obtained and by the fact that the beam size varied substantially as a function of the degree of deflection of the beam. Furthermore, the deflection sensitivity of previously available tubes was insuflicient to permit fast enough access to the stored information.
It is a principal object of the present invention, therefore, to provide improved beam-shaping and -deflecting means for cathode-ray tubes.
Another object of the present invention is to provide, in a cathode-ray tube, means for forming an electron beam having a substantially smaller cross-section than could previously be ob-- the several elements and the diameters of the apertures therethrough, as well as the transverse spacing between the deflecting elements. It has been found that the actual dimensions of the elements are not critical, but that the proportionality of each of several pairs of dimensions is rela- 2 tively critical to achieve the improved result which is characteristic of the present invention.
In accordance with the present invention there is provided, in a cathode-ray tube having a source of an electron beam and a fluorescent screen, beam-shaping means axially disposed between the source and the screen. These means comprise in succession a first electrode having flrst'and second apertures, a second electrode having a third aperture, and a third electrode having a fourth aperture. The diameters of the first, second, third and fourth apertures and the axial spacing between the first and third apertures vary by not more than 25% from proportionality to the ratios of the numbers 100, 16, 130, 20 and 1200, respectively. 7
Inaccordance with a further feature of the present invention, beam-deflecting means are also provided, these means comprising a pair of deflecting plates, a portion of which are parallel. The axial spacing between the first 'and'third apertures, the spacing between the parallel portions of the deflecting plates and the axial dimension of the deflecting plates vary by not more than 25% from proportionality to the ratios of the numbers 120, 3 and 50, respectively.
Other objects and features of the present invention will be pointed out in the following description and claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which disclose, by way of example, the principle of the invention and the best mode, which has been contemplated, of applying that principle.
In the drawings, in which like reference numerals designate like components:
Fig. 1 is a plan view, partly cut away, of a cathode-ray tube incorporating beam-shaping and -deflecting means in accordance with the present invention;
Fig. 2 is an elevation of the beam-shaping and -deflecting means of the cathode-ray tube of Fig. 1; and
Figs. 3-7 are sections taken respectively on the lines 3-3, 4--4, 5-5, 6--6 and I-I of Fig. 2.
Referring to Fig. 1 of the drawings, there is shown a cathode-ray tube comprising an envelope IB having at its enlarged end a fluorescent screen H and at the opposite end a base l2 provided with suitable connecting prongs 13. A portion of the interior wall of envelope l0 near itsenlarged end is provided with a conductive coating I4.
Mounted within envelope I0 is a beam-forming, --shaping and -deflecting 'means designated generally bytl' e reference numeral l5 and illustrated more clearly in Figs. 2-7. Assembly I5 comprises a control grid l6 within which is mounted the usual cathode and heater assembly (not shown) comprising a source of an electron beam, a first electrode I! having a first aperture l8 and a second aperture I9, a second electrode having a third aperture 2|, a third electrode 22 having a fourth aperture 23, and a pair of deflecting plates 24, portions 25 thereof being parallel to each other. The remaining portions of the plates preferably occupy two or more pairs of non-parallel planes, as illustrated. This configuration minimizes de-focusing with deflection. There may also be provided a second pair of deflecting plates 26, likewise having parallel portions 21. In use, deflecting plates 24 may be employed to provide horizontal deflection of the electron beam and deflecting plates 26 to provide vertical deflection of the electron beam.
As is well known to those skilled in the art, the several electrodes and the deflecting plates are suitably supported by insulating members 28 and 29, which in turn are suitably mounted within and supported by insulating member 30 mounted within and supported by base I2. Contact to conductive coating I4 is readily made by a plurality of conductive spring-like fingers 3|.
In accordance with the present invention, the cross-section of the beam and hence the spot size on fluorescent screen II is decreased by substantially increasing the axial spacing between apertures l8 and 2|. This axial spacing may be approximately 12 times the diameter of aperture l8, for example. In previously known tubes, this ratio was approximately 7.65. The spot size on the fluorescent screen is further reduced by increasing the axial spacing between the third aperture and the screen. This spacing may, for example, closely approximate 2.67 times the axial spacing between the first and third apertures.
Further reduction in the beam cross-section with resultant reduction in de-focusing with deflection is secured, in accordance with the present invention, by reducing the diameter of aperture l9. The axial spacing between apertures I8 and 2| may be approximately 76 times the diameter of aperture l9, compared with a previously employed ratio of approximately 48. Furthermore, the diameter of aperture 23 is preferably approximately 1.25 times that of aperture l9, whereas in previously known tubes these apertures were of equal diameter. This is an important feature of the present invention, in that all the masking of the electron beam takes place at aperture Hi, the secondary electrons generated at the edge of this aperture being suppressed by relatively negative electrode 20. This prevents these electrons from reaching screen II where they would deteriorate the stored charge pattern.
In accordance with the present invention, deflection sensitivity is improved by substantially lengthening deflecting plates 24 and decreasing their transverse spacing. The axial dimension of the deflecting plates is approximately 31 times the diameter of aperture l9, compared with 12.5 times in previously known tubes. The spacing between the parallel portions of the deflecting plates is reduced to such an extent that the axial spacing between apertures I8 and 2| is approximately times the plate spacing. In previously known tubes, this ratio was approximately 20.
In one particular embodiment of the present invention comprising a cathode-ray tube having a screen diameter of approximately 3 inches the following dimensions were employed:
Inches Diameter of aperture |8 0.250 Diameter of aperture I9 0.040 Diameter of aperture 2| 0.325 Diameter of aperture 23 0.050 Axial spacing between apertures 8 and 2| 3.04 Axial length of deflecting plates 24 1.25 Spacing between parallel portions of plates References per P regeneration This performance is approximately twice as good as that achieved with previously known tubes.
While there have been shown and described and pointed out the fundamental novel features of the invention as applied to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood that various omissions and substitutions and changes in the form and details of the device illustrated and in its operation may be made by those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
