Claims
- 1. A grid system for a flat-panel display comprising:
a plurality of flat springs for deflecting and combining electrons from an elongated electron source toward a phosphor anode.
- 2. A grid system according to claim 1 wherein said springs are positioned medially between said elongated electron source and said phosphor anode.
- 3. A grid system according to claim 2 wherein said springs are positioned parallel to said elongated electron source and orthogonal to said phosphor anode.
- 4. A grid system according to claim 2 wherein said springs are positioned orthogonally to said elongated electron source and orthogonal to said phosphor anode.
- 5. A grid system according to claim 1 wherein said springs have variable widths.
- 6. A grid system according to claim 1 wherein said flat springs are formed in a wave pattern.
- 7. A grid system according to claim 1 wherein the side of said flat springs facing said elongated electron source is coated with a high temperature reflective coating and the side of said flat springs facing said anode is coated with black non-reflecting high temperature coating.
- 8. A grid system for a flat-panel display comprising:
a plurality of flat springs for deflecting and combining electrons from an elongated electron source toward a phosphor anode; wherein the side of said flat springs facing said elongated electron source is coated with a high temperature reflective coating and the side of said flat springs facing said anode is coated with black non-reflecting high temperature coating.
- 9. A grid system for a flat-panel display comprising:
a plurality of grid wires for deflecting and combining electrons from an elongated electron source toward a phosphor anode; wherein the side of said grid wires facing said elongated electron source is coated with a high temperature reflective coating and the side of said grid wires facing said anode is coated with black non-reflecting high temperature coating.
- 10. A flat spring for a flat panel display grid comprising:
an elongated member chemically etched from sheet metal.
