A New Type Of Vacuum Microelectronics Flat Panel Camera Tube

This new Vacuum Microelectronics(VME) Flat Panel Camera tube(FPC) VME-FPC, made by the same techniques used in Microtip Flat Panel Display(FPD), been formed upon the baseplate and the faceplate, the baseplate made from the Field Emission Array(FEA) and the gates, the faceplate made from the photoconductive layer and the transparent conductive layer. The VME-FPC would work when the electrons emitted from a Field Emitter Array (FEA) scan photoconductive layer under the control of a clock. This VME-FPC will offer many advantages: simple structure inside of the tube, high resolution, high sensitivity, low tube volume, low energy consumption and long life etc. We predict that the application of this type FPC will have a broad prospects in high definition TV, Video communication, medical apparatus and instruments etc.
