One megabit chinese character information storage tube

Abstract

The development of a high information capacity Chinese character generator, which is called the Chinese character tube is described. It is a high capacity, electron beam-addressed, read-only memory. Information capacity of one tube is more than one megabit. This kind of Chinese character generator has the advantage of small size, high capacity and cost-effective. It can be widely applied to various Chinese character information processing systems.

The working principle is described briefly. The experimental results of tube Type I (one that stores 512 Chinese characters with 48×48 dot matrix per Chinese character) are given.
