- This kind of current application structure can be applied to the above-described filament structure of the present invention. In this structure, since heat is simultaneously provided to the pellet from four filaments, the pellet can quickly reach the temperature at which thermion emission is possible.
- the pellet When the filament is welded to the pellet, the pellet is self-heated since the pellet is located in the current path.

Accordingly, the combined resistance of the filament decreases, which results in an increase in the distribution voltage for the pellet. Thus, since the heating of the filament decreases due to the increase in distribution voltage while the heating of the pellet increases, the pellet reaches the thermion emission point faster, thereby to enable thermion emission immediately after current is applied.

- Referring to FIGs.4 and 5, a
porous pellet 100, i.e., a source of electron emission, consists of a porous material obtained by compression-molding and sintering the powder of refractory metals such as molybdenum or tungsten. The porous portion ofpellet 100 is filled with cathode material.Porous pellet 100 is a hexahedron obtained by compression-molding and sintering a mixture of tungsten and/or molybdenum powder, an alkaline earth metal oxide including barium, Al₂O₃ powder and at least one metal oxide powder selected from Eu oxide, Sc oxide, In oxide or Ir oxide. If molybdenum and tungsten are mixed so as to be used, the molybdenum powder should kept below 50wt%. Each end portion of fourfilaments 200 is secured to each side ofpellet 100 while the other ends extend downward, thereby to form a structure for supporting the raisedpellet 100. Pellet 100 can be regarded as having four feet-like components when the four filaments are viewed as one filament. However, these fourfilaments 200 are installed so as to cross one another, passing through the body ofpellet 100. Therefore, in practice, the four filaments exposed to the outside of the pellet are obtained by two filaments passing throughpellet 100. The twofilaments 200 make contact with each other when they cross insidepellet 100, but the two filaments may cross without contacting each other. - A
coating layer 400 is formed on the upper surface ofpellet 100 so as to prevent a decrease in work function and the evaporation of the cathode material, as shown in FIG.6.Coating layer 400 is formed of at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ir, In, Os, Ru and Re. - FIGs.7 and 8 show two examples of the connecting structure of
filament 200 with respect topellet 100. In Fig. 7,filaments 200 are respectively welded to the sides ofpellet 100. As shown in FIG. 8,opposing filaments 200 are coupled to form a single body, and hence two filaments crossing each other are installed so as to pass through the body ofpellet 100. As a result, the fourfilaments 200 exposed on the outside ofpellet 100 can be obtained from two filaments passing throughpellet 100. Thus, asfilaments 200 pass throughpellet 100, two filaments cross in contact with or separated from each other insidepellet 100. - FIG. 9 shows another embodiment in which
filaments 200 pass throughpellet 100. The fourfilaments 200 extending down the sides ofpellet 100 are combined into one. As a result,filament 200 forms a cross-shaped single unit. - The cathode structure described above has four filaments, but the formation of a single pellet having three filaments is possible with a slight modification. However, it is preferable to prepare four filaments for a single pellet, considering various points. The filaments act as supports for supporting both the pellet and heater, and accordingly, the pellet can be kept stable since at least three filaments support the pellet to maintain balance, even though filament strength is weakened by the applied current which heats the filament. Thus,
pellet 100 is not greatly affected by external impacts, thereby to reduce an unstableness of the screen and lessen the occurrence of color variations in the CRT. - In configurations in which each filament is directly welded to the side of a pellet, the pellet heats simultaneously with the filament since the current passes directly through the pellet as well as the filament. Such a filament configuration has the effect of faster heating than that in which the filament passes through the pellet, which also emits thermions relatively fast.
-
Pellet 100 can be modified into various shapes. For example,pellet 100 can be formed so as to have a circular cross-section, as shown in FIG.10, or a polygonal cross-section as shown in FIGs.11 and 12. As shown in FIG.11, in the case ofpellet 100 having eight side surfaces,filaments 200 are secured to every other side surface, to provide four filaments. If necessary, the filament can be installed onto each surface, which results in a total of eight filaments. FIG. 12 showspellet 100 having six side surfaces. Here, the pellet has threefilaments 200. However, a filament can be attached to each surface, so as to form asingle pellet 100 having six filaments as shown in FIG. 13. - FIGs. 14 and 15 show an embodiment of the direct-heating-type cathode structure of the present invention which can be used for a monochromatic cathode ray tube.
- Referring to FIG. 14,
filaments 200 are provided on each of four side surfaces of thehexahedron pellet 100.Filaments 200 are fixed by welding to twosupporters 400 installed directly onto afixed block 300. As shown in FIG.15, two weldingsurfaces support 400, and a respectivesingle filament 200 is fixed to eachwelding surface - When the filament is welded to the pellet, the pellet is self-heated since the pellet is located in the current path. At this time, a plurality of filaments are divided into two groups through which voltage is applied to the pellet, since the two filaments are connected in common. That is, the current flows into a single pellet through the filament of
group 1, and the current flows out from a single pellet through the filament ofgroup 2. Accordingly, the combined resistance of the filament decreases, which results in an increase in the distribution voltage for the pellet. Thus, since the heating of the filament decreases due to the increase in distribution voltage while the heating of the pellet increases, the pellet reaches the thermion emission point faster, thereby to enable thermion emission immediately after current is applied. - In a cathode structure of the present invention described thus far, in which a plurality of filaments is divided into two groups, a voltage is applied via the two groups, in the voltage application structure. That is, current flows into a single pellet via the filament of
group 1, and the current flows out via the remaining filament ofgroup 2. - As a result, a pellet has two current application terminals, and since each terminal consists of a plurality of filaments, the line resistance of each terminal is lowered. In the present invention, lower line resistances are more advantageous in the prompt heating of the pellet, conversely to the conventional direct-heating-type cathode. This decrease in resistance causes an increase in the distribution voltage ratio with respect to a pellet. Therefore, the amount of heat radiating outside the pellet decreases while the internal heating of the pellet is increased.
- According to an experiment of the inventor for the cathode structure of the present invention, a temperature of 950∼980°C is sufficient to obtain a current density of 10A/cm². These temperature characteristics are equal to that of the existing indirect-heating impregnation-type cathode.
- In a cathode structure of the type shown in FIG.14, three cathode structures can be provided for a single electron gun, thereby to constitute an electron gun for use in a color cathode ray tube. Since the above cathode structure has an independent support block, means for fixing the supporting block for each cathode structure is required for the electron gun, when the above cathode structure is applied to an electron gun for use in a color cathode ray tube.
- FIG.16 shows another embodiment of a cathode structure of the present invention which can be used for a color cathode ray tube. The three cathode structures respectively having
pellet 100 andfilament 200 are positioned on a single insulatingblock 300. In order to fix the unit cathode structure, three pairs ofsupporters 400 for fixing the filaments of each pellet are provided on the insulatingblock 300. - The structure for supporting the pellet having three or more filaments according to the present invention is very suitable for supporting pellets having considerable weight. That is, the pellet resists shock since it is supported by at least three filaments, thereby decreasing the potential deforming thereof. Additionally, the relative location for a first grid in an electron gun changes much less due to this shock-suppression effect. The cathode structure and the reduced change of the first grid location together prevent the unstableness of the screen and the abnormal color generation due to minor impacts, thereby maintaining a stable screen quality. Particularly, the abnormal and permanent deformation according to extended operation is effectively suppressed. Thus, a cathode structure of the present invention is more appropriate for use in a color cathode ray tube, and specifically in wide-screen televisions or industrial CRTs, rather than the general subminiature black-and-white cathode ray tube.
