PERFORMANCE AND LIFE EVALUATION OF A SEALED LIGHT VALVE TUBE.
Abstract
The results indicate that suitable technology exists for packaging light-valve tubes in conventional cathoderay-tube form; and, hence, tubes can be designed to run reliably for extended periods of time, be maintainancefree, and be replaceable. Although present tubes are suitable for 500-hours operation, extension of the tech niques used, improvements in components, and control of process variables should allow for tube performance in excess of 2000 hours. End of life is expected to be subjective and primarily due to picture deterioration, rather than catastrophic in nature. (Author)
