Abstract

In order to suppress the Barkhausen oscillation previously observed in fluorescent display tubes, the electron-stream transmission of the grid electrode is controlled by shielding regions of solid or fine mesh form provided in each of the grid meshes in opposing relationship to the exposed insulating portions of the anode substrate lying within the corresponding set of anode segments, which are arranged in a pattern of substantially figure-of-eight configuration.
