Image display apparatus

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/JP93/01600 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 6, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 6, 1994 PCT Filed Nov. 4, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/11896 PCT Pub. Date May 26, 1994It is an object of the present invention to provide an image display apparatus which is light and thin and is manufactured with reduced cost and which assures a clear image with no luminance unevenness over the entire screen. The image display apparatus includes: a string like hot cathode for emitting electrons; a perforated cover electrode for leading out and accelerating the electrons emitted from the cathode; a control electrode disposed substantially parallel with the cathode and having an electron-pass aperture permitting an electron beam to pass therethrough, the control electrode being adapted to control the electron beam; a luminous element which emits light when irradiated with the electron beam and is disposed on a curved surface; and a focusing electrode disposed between the control electrode and the luminous element, the focusing electrode being divided into focusing electrodes. Where the luminous element, the focusing electrode and the control electrode comprise respective curved surfaces and the string like hot cathode and the perforated cover electrode are formed on a flat plane, a second grid is provided between the control electrode and the perforated cover electrode.

Neurotransmitter release from synaptotagmin-deficient clonal variants of PC12 cells

Abstract: Synaptotagmin (p65) is an abundant synaptic vesicle protein of neurons and contains regions similar to the regulatory domain of protein kinase C. These domains are thought to be involved in calcium-dependent interaction with membrane phospholipids during exocytosis. To assess the functional role of synaptotagmin, synaptotagmin-deficient clonal variants of PC12 cells were isolated. All of the variant cells released catecholamine and adenosine triphosphate in response to elevated intracellular concentrations of calcium, which suggests that synaptotagmin is not essential for secretion of catecholamine and adenosine triphosphate from PC12 cells.
