Method For Forming An Image On A Screen Of A Cathode Ray Tube
US Patent:
6833679, Dec 21, 2004
Filed:
Jul 28, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/628838

Assignee:
Trepton Research Group, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H01J 2974
US Classification:
315369, 315370, 3153821, 313409, 313415, 313413
Abstract:
Apparatus and method are provided for using a multi-element field emission cathode in a color cathode ray tube. The field emission cathode may have from four to ten field emission arrays linearly arranged. The arrays are preferably formed from carbon-based material. An electron gun assembly focuses electron beams from each array on to a phosphor stripe or dot on the screen of the cathode ray tube. Deflection apparatus moves the beam from each field emission array according to clock signals. Clock signals also turn on or turn off voltage to contacts controlling electron current from the array. Values of voltage applied, determined by a video signal, determine the intensity of electron current from each array, which controls the intensity of the light emitted by each color stripe or dot of phosphor on the phosphor screen.

H01J001/02
US Classification:
313/309000
Abstract:
An array of carbon-based emitters is provided having more uniform electron emission over the area of the array. This is made possible by a resistive layer that is present below each of the emission tips. Both organic and inorganic resistive layers may be grown under the emitting carbon-based material. A conductive backing layer is in contact with the resistive layer. Methods for making the improved array are provided. The methods include growth of carbon-based tips in a mold, removal of various films or portions of films by etching, and other techniques.

International Classification:
H04N 5/232
US Classification:
348345, 348E05045
Abstract:
A compressive imaging (CI) device including a light modulator and a light sensor (e.g., a single-element sensor or a sensor array). The CI device may support the focusing of light on the light modulator and/or on the light sensor in a number of ways: (1) determining a focus indicator value by analyzing a 1D or 2D image in the incident light field; (2) measuring light spillover between modulator regions and light sensing elements—either at the level of voltage measurements or the level of reconstructed images; (3) measure noise in reconstructed sub-images; (4) measuring an amount high-frequency content in the incident light field; (5) incorporating a range finder to measure distance to the object being imaged; (6) incorporating an image sensor downstream from the modulator; and (7) splitting a portion of the incident light onto an image sensor, prior to the modulator.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention are directed to integrated resonance detectors and arrays of integrated resonance detectors and to methods for making and using the integrated resonance detectors and arrays. Integrated resonance detectors comprise a substrate, a conducting mirror layer, an active layer, and a patterned conducting layer. Electromagnetic radiation is detected by transducing a specific resonance-induced field enhancement in the active layer to a detection current that is proportional to the incident irradiance.
