Viewing Storage Tubes Based upon Field-Effect Conductivity Control

Abstract

A new type of halftone charge-controlled viewing storage tube has been demonstrated which uses the field-effect principle and requires no flood beam or storage mesh. Such tubes are potentially capable of high writing speeds and very long viewing times. In addition, selected portions of stored patterns may be erased and information can be displayed without being stored. Copyright © 1968 by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
