DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] This invention relates to a linear hot cathode used in vacuum tubes, CRTs, fluorescent display tubes, etc. [Prior art] Various devices using linear hot cathodes have been proposed in the past.
For example, there is a flat panel display device as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6084744. FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing such a conventional flat panel display device. Cathode wires 3b holding electron emitting substances and forming cathodes 4 are provided at predetermined intervals. A control electrode 5 is disposed on the insulating substrate 1 in correspondence with each cathode 4, and a grid electrode F is provided with a through hole 6a above the cathode wire 3b at a position corresponding to each cathode 4! i6, and above the grid electrode 6, anodes 8 coated with a phosphor 7 at positions corresponding to the respective cathodes 4 are arranged at required intervals in the upward and downward directions, respectively. The negative bridge wire 3 is made of tungsten, and the cathode 4 is made of ternary carbonate of barium, strontium, and calcium ((Ba, Sr, Ca) CO by electrodeposition or coating on the surface of the cathode wire 3b. ) is deposited and thermally decomposed during the process of evacuating the inside of the display device container, converting the carbonate into oxides ((Ba, Sr.
It has been converted to Ca) 0 ).

In addition, at this time, the tungsten of the cathode wire 3b reduces BaO in the electron emitting material through the following reaction and saves excess Ba. This Ba moves to the cathode surface during diffusion, forms a donor in BaO, and contributes to emitter A.

6 BaO + W → BaJOi + 3 8a Next, the operation will be explained. When the cathode wire 3b is heated to about 700° C. by supplying power to both ends thereof, electrons are emitted from the surface of the cathode 4. At this time, the green electrode 6 and the anode 8
When a positive electrode is applied to the electron beam, the electron beam is guided to the phosphor 7 through the through hole 6a and excites the phosphor 7. On the other hand, if a negative voltage is applied to the control electrode 5, the electric field around the cathode 4 becomes negative with respect to the cathode 4b, and electron emission from the cathode 4 can be stopped. Therefore, for example, a positive pulse voltage is applied to the control electrode 5. By doing this, it becomes possible to control the emission of the electron beam. By the way, in such a linear hot cathode, the initial industrial current is affected by the process of replacing the carbonate with an oxide, or by the influence of impure gas emitted from the phosphor 7, the locking part 2, etc. during the initial operation of the display device. There were problems such as the brightness of the display device becoming low and the evacuation process for manufacturing the display device requiring 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 material 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 (Tokugan Sho 62-122053) [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As we continued to research and develop such linear hot cathodes, we found that BaJO.
It has been confirmed that over time, Ba accumulates at the interface between the heat-resistant metal and the electron-emitting material, separating the two, which may impede the growth of excess Ba and become one of the causes of reduced life characteristics. It was done. In view of this problem, the inventors have made extensive studies and have arrived at this invention.

6 indicates a control electrode, 6 indicates a glisode electrode, and 8 indicates an anode. A plurality of locking portions 2 are provided at regular intervals on the insulating substrate 1, and the cathode wire 3a is passed to each of the locking portions 2, and the cathode 4 formed thereon is adjacent to the locking portions 2. It is strung up so that it is located between the two. Each shade 14 is provided on the insulating substrate 1.

Tungsten is used as the cathode wire, but 0
.. It is assumed that scandium oxide SczO is contained in a range of 1 to 2% by weight. It is generally preferable to mix scandium oxide into tungsten before drawing the wire. The mixing ratio is 0.
The reason why it is limited to 1 to 2% by weight is that if it is less than the lower limit, sufficient decomposition of Ba31[6, which is the objective of this invention, cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds the upper limit, it will be mixed into the tungsten before wire drawing. This is because it becomes extremely difficult and undesirable.
