Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0557191A1] The source comprises columns (4) emitting electrons and rows (6) of which the potential develops up to a positive value VI. The screen also comprises at least one supplementary column (24) common to all the rows, means (28) for carrying this supplementary column to a negative potential such that, irrespective of the potential of the rows which it crosses over, electrons may be emitted in the crossover zones, at least one supplementary anode (26) facing the supplementary column and means (30) for carrying this supplementary anode to a positive potential lower than VI. Each row is controlled by a single output transistor (32) which, when the latter is on, carries the line to VI and which, when off, disconnects the line from the voltage source VI. Application to microtip screens. <IMAGE>
