Abstract

1360835 Uses of photochromism RCA CORPORATION 8 July 1971 [8 Oct 1970 (2)] 32239/71 Heading C4S [Also in Division H1] A cathodochromic display tube has a target of cathodochromic material 10 colourable by electron impingement with a coloration having an optically reversible component and an optically irreversible component, wherein the target is exposed to an electron beam which is modulated and simultaneously scanned to provide a visible coloration pattern means being included to suppress, at least a portion of the optically reversible component only. Suppression may be by radiation of erasing wavelength, by heating to below the total erase temperature, e.g. by infra-red radiation from an external or internal source or electrical resistance heating such as a thin metal or indium oxide film 20 on mica sheet 22 and connected to heating circuit 15 or by electron bombardment (e.g. the electron beam with or without additional heating). Gun electrode 30 may be connected to a conductive wall coating on the tube envelope 14. The cathodochromic material may be sodalite (e.g. Na 8 Al 6 Si 6 O 24 Cl 2 or with Br-, I-, OH- and SO2- 4 substitutions) which is not normally cathodromic until heat reduced in a hydrogen atmosphere. Br and Cl substitutions produce absorption bands of 5550Š and 5250A respectively. The optically reversible coloration usually saturation at contrast ratios of 2 to 3 to 1 (Curve A, Fig. 2, not shown) while the irreversible components in some bromine and chlorine sodalites continues to rise (Curve B). The latter component may be erased at 200 to 300‹ C. and Br sodalite is preferred, having an induced absorption spectrum close to the eye sensitivity curve. 100 to 150‹ C. is the temperature for most sodalite materials at which no optically reversible component is present. Fig. 4 (not shown) displays exposure required for a given contrast ratio and beam current with screen voltage as variable. Sensitivity to beam current is indicated as a heating effect, the sensitivity of the optically reversible mode decreasing with increasing current, while thermal erase sensitivity first increases and then decreases. In Fig. 5 (not shown), heating to higher temperatures than curve (2), reduces contrast ratio as in curves (3) and (4). Poor fidelity indicated by the non linear plot of Fig. 3 (not shown). The γ may be adjusted by circuitry in some cases, or by suppressing the optically reversible component with heat. In a 1/30 sec. TV scan the image from a 100 Áa beam is heated to 300‹ C. between seams to erase, 2 sec being required for erasure. Prior to further writing, cooling may be to an intermediate partial erase temperature.
