Definitions

  • cathode-ray tubes are widely used in display devices including TV sets.
  • the characteristics of the cathode-ray tube include easiness in obtaining high brightness, possibility of changing from low to high brightness continuously and obtain a so-called halftone, possibility of obtaining high resolution and so forth.
  • the cathode-ray tube since in a cathode-ray tube the cathode ray is accelerated, deflected and made to bombard the fluorescent screen for illumination, the electron gun, the deflection yoke, etc. must be arranged in sequence on or around the same axis. Accordingly, the device necessarily becomes large in length and large in volume. Further, even if the cathode-ray tube is constructed in a panel form, the construction is limited by the presence of the electron gun and the deflection means.
  • Platinum wires 3, 4 are set on both sides of the insulating substrate 2 comprising a large number of regularly arranged holes 1 in a way that the wires may pass the center of said holes 1 and the periphery is sealed airtight by closely adhering the glass plates 5, 6 on both sides.
  • the directions of the platinum wires 3, 4 are orthogonal to each other.
  • the inside of the device is filled with an inert gas like neon, argon, etc. with appropriate pressure.
  • the DC voltage is applied selectively to the mutually orthogonal platinum wires 3, 4, the gas in the cell at the intersection is ionized and made to illuminate.
  • the deficiencies of said display devices include the spread of the order of several hundred microseconds present in the time lag between the application of the discharge voltage with the initiation of discharge.
  • the frame number is 30 per second
  • the number of scanning lines is 525 per frame and the number of the effective scanning lines is 491 per frame
  • the linear scanning time is 63.5 microseconds and the effective linear scanning time is 52.7 microseconds.
  • the number of frames is 25 per second
  • the number of scanning lines is 405 per frame
  • the number of effective scanning lines is 379 per frame.
  • the linear scanning time is 98.8 microseconds and the effective linear scanning time is 82.0 microseconds.
  • the linear scanning time is 64.0 microseconds and the effective linear scanning time is 53.0 microseconds. Accordingly, since in either one of these TV standard systems, the effective linear scanning time is less than 100 microseconds, a several hundred microsecond time lag is too large for effective use in any of the above TV systems. Further, since the brightness depends on the discharge time, it is technically diflicult to realize brightness modulation due to the large jitter.
  • An object of this invention is to provide a panel form or thin display device.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a device having a short response time, i.e. a device having good response characteristics comparable to or better than those of conventional TV sets.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a device in which brightness comparable to that of conventional TV sets is obtained and the brightness can be changed by a signal.
  • a yet further object of the invention is to provide a thin TV set which can be hung on the wall.
  • a yet further object of the invention is to provide a light TV set having a large panel or image display screen.

  • the subsidiary electrode 20 is maintained by the DC bias source 25 at a potential slightly lower than than of the electrode 22 to which the anode of the DC power supply 24 is connected. At the same time, part of the plasma 23 flows into the side of the control electrode 15 through the gaps or meshes of the subsidiary electrode 20.
  • the potential, the density and the electron temperature of the plasma passing through the electrode 20 can easily be made more uniform than these of the plasma 23 located between the electrodes 21
  • the first grid electrode 17 of the control electrode 15 is supplied by the DC bias source 26 with a potential lower than that of the subsidiary electrode 20. Since the potential of the plasma passing through the subsidiary electrode 20 is nearly equal to that of the electrode 20, there will occur no constant flow of electron current onto grid electrode 17. Similarly, since the second grid electrode 18 is supplied with a potential lower than that of the subsidiary electrode 20 by the DC bias source 27, the electron current does not flow into the electrode 18 either. Therefore, in the quiescent state electrons will not flow into the side of the fluorescent screen 14 through the holes 19 provided in the control electrode 15.

  • the electrons in the plasma 23, particularly the electrons which passed through the subsidiary electrode 20, are attracted to the M electrode and the electron current flows in. Since a large number of holes 19 are provided at the M electrode, part of the electrons enter the holes 19.

  • the electrons at the plasma surface move in a way to satisfy the above equation, and the electron sheath is formed around the electrodes to which the signal is applied.
  • the electron current flowing into the holes 19 of said M electrode is reflected by the electric field formed by said electrode 18 and never enters into the fluorescent screen 14.
  • a pulse signal of positive polarity is applied from the signal input terminal 31 to the N electrode of the metal electrode sheets composing the second grid electrode 18.
  • the potential of the N electrode becomes instantaneously higher than that of the subsidiary electrode 20 while the pulse is present.
  • the first and second grid electrodes 17 and 18 are arranged orthogonally to each other, the electron current flows through the common hole (M, N) of the M and N electrodes, whose potential is higher than that of the subsidiary electrode 20, from the side of the subsidiary electrode 20 to the side of the fluorescent screen 14.
  • a high potential is applied to the transparent electrode 13 by the DC high-tension power supply 32.
  • the electric field formed by the transparent electrode 13 acts as an accelerating electric field for electrons. Therefore, the electric current which passed through said hole (M, N) travels while being accelerated in a beam form and finally collides with the fluorescent screen 14.
