Abstract:
A laser welding method for preparation of an electron gun of a color cathode-ray tub. This laser welding comprises the steps of forming a coining part on an evaporation section of a weld zone of an upper part to be welded to a lower part, and focusing a laser beam on a bottom surface of the coining part. This coining part has a diameter larger than a diameter of the evaporation section and is formed in such a manner that it permits the weld zone of the upper part to have a predetermined thickness. In accordance with this laser welding, a weld nugget formed at the juncture between the upper and lower parts by is enlarged in its diameter and, as a result, increases the weld strength between the upper and lower parts. The coining part has a bottom surface of a plane surface or a curved surface. This laser welding can weld all of the parts of the electron gun even when an upper part to be welded to a lower part is thicker than the lower part and permit the welding condition to be easily determined.

Abstract:
An electron gun with an improved structure for providing accurately adjusted cut-off voltage. A novel process for producing the improved electron gun, and maintain substantially high uniformity of cut-off voltge in production. The electron gun comprises a plurality of grid electrodes including a first electrode mounted at the closest position to a cathode. The cathode is supported by a cathode base. The cathode base and the first electrode are provided in a pre-assembled form. The pre-assembly of the cathode base and the first electrode is supported by means of a holder which is fixed to glass beads together with other grid electrodes. In assembling of the electron gun, the distance between the cathode surface of the cathode and a plane surface of the first grid electrode, where an electron beam path is defined, is precisely adjusted during formation of the pre-assembly. The holder and the grid electrodes other than the first grid electrodes are subjected to a beading process so as to mount them on the glass beads with known spacings. After the beading process, the pre-assembly of the cathode base and the first grid electrode is mounted to the holder and the distance between the first and second grid electrodes is adjusted to a given distance.
Abstract:
Methods for fabricating monolithic flat panel displays together with the resulting display are disclosed in accordance with the teachings of the present invention. According to the invention the end portions of the row and column conductors of a display panel are metalized, grouped and patterned to accept a driver circuit within the pattern of each group. The driver circuit is then bonded to the panel and each output of the driver circuit to be employed is wire bonded to the patterned conductor portions within the group associated therewith. Inputs to the driver circuit may also be wire bonded to input conductors provided on the panel to provide an integral one piece structure.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a cathode ray tube, in which the positions of the tube envelope and the gun assembly are adjusted so their respectively longitudinal axes coincide, and then fixed against non-axial movement prior to insertion and sealing of the gun assembly into the neck of the envelope, wherein the gun assembly position is fixed by clamping at least three of its connector pins.
Abstract:
A front assembly for a color cathode ray tube is disclosed. The tube includes a faceplate having on its inner surface a centrally disposed phosphor screen embraced by a peripheral sealing area adapted to mate with a funnel. A faceplate-mounted frame-like shadow mask support structure secured to the inner surface of the faceplate between the sealing area and the screen has a mask-receiving surface for receiving and supporting a foil shadow mask and holding the mask in tension by laser weldments. The weldments according to the invention are spaced close enough to hold the mask in tension without distortion, yet spaced widely enough to provide for relatively rapid welding and strong, independent welds.
