Abstract From the Canadian patent

A flat display apparatus is disclosed which includes a grid interposed between and spaced apart from control electrodes and an electron source. The grid which includes holes has a higher potential applied than the one applied to a cathode so as to enable electrons to pass through the holes. An additional grid may be interposed between and spaced apart from the grid and the control electrodes. Alternatively a rear electrode is located between adjacent porous cover electrodes to connect them and a second rear, electrode is located near the rear electrode and has a lower potential applied than the one applied to the cover electrodes.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed August 12, 1992 and granted December 8, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 12, 2012.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 12, 2014.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
