Abstract :
Recent advances in cathodochromic dark trace storage-display tubes are reviewed. Primary emphasis is placed on sodalite screen materials; their synthesis, physical properties, and light scattering characteristics are discussed in detail. An analysis of the distinct thermal and optical modes of coloration is presented, and the corresponding device constructions are described. Brief descriptions of a number of experimental systems that utilize cathodochromic storage tubes are also included.
