C 0 3 ) is deposited and thermally decomposed in the process of evacuating the inside of the display device container, converting the carbonate into an oxide ((Ba, Sr.Ca) O 2 ). At this time, the tungsten of the cathode wire 3 reduces BaO in the electron emitting material through the following reaction to produce excess Ba. This Ba moves to the surface of the cathode during the breakdown, forms a donor in BaO, and contributes to the production.

6BaO + W −+Ba*WJ + 3Ba Next, the operation will be explained. When the cathode wire 3 is heated to about 700° C. by supplying power to both ends thereof, electrons are emitted from the surface of the cathode 40. At this time, if a positive electrode is applied to the grind electrode 6 and the anode 8, the electron beam is guided to the phosphor 7 through the through hole 6a and excites the phosphor 7. On the other hand, when a negative voltage is applied to the control electrode 5, the electric field around the cathode 40 becomes negative with respect to the cathode 4C, and electron emission from the cathode 4C can be stopped. By applying a positive pulse voltage to the llt pole 5, the emission of the electron beam can be controlled. By the way, such a linear hot cathode is used in the process of replacing the carbonate with an oxide or during the initial operation of a display device. Due to the influence of impure gas emitted from the locking portion 2 and the like, there are problems such as the initial emission current becomes low, the brightness of the display device becomes low, and the manufacturing exhaust process of the display device requires a long time.

Previously, the inventors proposed a mixture containing 0.2 to 20% by weight of a rare earth metal oxide and an alkaline earth metal oxide containing barium oxide as a solution to the above problems. He proposed a linear hot cathode in which an electron-emitting substance with a weight ratio of barium oxide to rare earth metal oxide of 0.4 to 60 was held on the surface of a linear heat-resistant metal, and achieved great results (Sadaaki Tokuto 62-122053).

In general, in order to improve display brightness, it is desired to raise the operating temperature (e.g., 800°C) in order to increase the amount of electron emission. This resulted in increased generation and further deterioration of the above-mentioned life characteristics.
