Problems solved by technology

When a large imaging device having a vacuum container (housing) is subjected to an activation process of such a vacuum device, the latter must be provided with an exhaust line for evacuating the interior of the vacuum container and removing the carbon and / or metal The compound is introduced into the vacuum container, making the whole operation quite complicated and time-consuming, leading to an increase in the manufacturing cost of the imaging device, especially if the compound has a large molecular weight

Embodiment 1

[0161] Figures 14A to 14D The electron source in this example is schematically illustrated. Such as Figures 14A to 14D As shown, the surface conduction electron emission device of the electron source of this embodiment is composed of a pair of device electrodes 2 and 3 and a conductive thin film 4 including an electron emission region 5, and the means for supplying an active substance is composed of a pair of electrodes 2 And 6, a thin film resistance heater 7 and an activation material source 8 constitute. Although the device of this example is similar to Figures 1A to 1C The difference between the former and the latter is that a pair of devices for supplying the active substance are arranged along respective sides of the electron emission region.

[0162] Figure 14A is a schematic floor plan of this embodiment, and Figure 14B , 14C and 14D are schematic cross-sectional views taken along lines 14B-14B, 14C-14C and 14D-14D, respectively. The device electrode 3 and ...

Embodiment 2

[0187] Prepared as in the case of Example 1 with Figures 14A to 14D An electron source of the structure shown, and then examine the performance of the electron source. The electron source is driven to work without applying any voltage between the device electrode 2 and the electrode 6 for supplying the active species. The performance at the initial operation was equal to that of the electron source of Example 1, although the reduction ratios of If and Ie were δIf (1 hour) = 20% and δIe (1 hour) = 25%, respectively.

[0188] Thereafter, when the thin film resistive heater 7 is heated by applying a pulse voltage between the device electrode 2 and the electrode 6 for supplying the active substance and energizing the thin film resistive heater 7, another voltage is applied to the device electrodes 2 and 3 Between, to drive the electron source to work. The pulse voltage applied between the device electrode 2 and the electrode 6 for supplying the active substance was a rectangula...

Embodiment 3

[0191] The electron source prepared in this example has basically the same structure as the electron source of Example 1. Therefore, refer to the attached Figure 16H , 16J 16K and 16K illustrate only manufacturing steps different from their corresponding parts of Embodiment 1.

[0192] Steps (a) to (g) of Example 1 were followed. Thereafter, the following steps are performed.

[0193] (h) Photoresist (AZ-1370) is applied thereon by means of a spin coater and subjected to a pre-baking process at 90° C. for 30 minutes to produce a photoresist layer 74; thereafter , expose it to light, photochemically develop it and undergo a post-baking process to produce an opening 76 having a shape corresponding to the shape of the active material source to be formed ( Figure 16H or along Figure 14A Section of line 14C-14C in).

[0194] (i) Apply an aqueous solution containing 2% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) thereon with a spin coater, and be heated and dried at 60° C. for 10 minutes to pr...

Abstract

An electron source comprises one or more electron-emitting devices, especially of surface conduction type, and is provided with means for supplying an activating substance to the device(s). The means comprises preferably a substance source and a heater or electron beam generator for gasifying the substance source. The electron source can be combined with an image-forming member (e.g. fluorescent body) to constitute an image-forming apparatus. The means is used for in situ activation or re-activation of the electron-emitting device(s).

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of No.9511952.8 application. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to an electron source and an image forming apparatus, and more particularly, to an electron source equipped with means for keeping it in an active state by suppressing its aging and restoring its performance, and an electron source comprising such an electron source An imaging device, also relating to a method for equipping it with the above device. Background technique [0003] Two types of electron-emitting devices are known, the thermionic cathode type and the cold cathode type. Among these types, cold cathode refers to devices including field emission type (hereinafter referred to as FE type) devices, metal / insulator / metal type (hereinafter referred to as MIM type) electron emission devices, and surface conduction electron emission devices. Examples of FE-type devices include those proposed by W.P.Dyke and W.W.Dolan, see "Field Emission...
