Problems solved by technology

[0002] The cathode of traditional microwave vacuum electronic devices is generally made of tungsten oxide or tungsten related materials, which belongs to hot cathode emission; the electron emission cathode used in traditional projection tube electronic devices also relies on thermionic emission, so the existence efficiency is low and the working temperature is low. High and preheating, as well as large volume, high power consumption and other defects; for these defects and the use of nano-graphite as a field emission cathode technology is the use of chemical vapor deposition growth, or the method of making a film after dispersion with a solvent to obtain nano Graphite film, and then made into a planar film-shaped field emission electron cathode, that is, a cathode that emits electrons through the graphite film plane; although this type of electron cathode has the advantages of high emission efficiency and high current density, it is generally only used in cold In terms of cathode field emission flat panel display, it is difficult to be used in tube-type vacuum electronic devices such as field emission microwave tubes, digital tubes, and projection tubes, and there are disadvantages such as complex production processes, low production efficiency, and high production costs.
