Abstract (en)

A flat cathode ray tube (10) having a micro-channel plate electron multiplier (26) spaced a short distance from a fluorescent screen (24) applied to a substantially flat faceplate (20). A deflection electrode array (28) is disposed behind and spaced from the electron multiplier (26) so as to be parallel therewith. An electron gun (36) is disposed laterally of the space (40) between the electron multiplier (26) and the deflection electrode array (28) and an electron beam (38) produced by the electron gun (36) enters the space (40) along a path of movement substantially parallel to the deflection electrode array (28). Magnetic scanning means (42) are provided to deflect the electron beam (38) in a plane parallel to the deflection electrode array (28). The magnetic scanning means (42) enables a range of different screen shapes and sizes to be made without the risk of deflection defocusing at the edges of the screen and the deflection electrode array (28) enables the depth of the tube envelope to be substantially independent of the screen size.
