To provide a display panel having such a structure that a color filter is unlikely to suffer damage due to a heat treatment in a reducing atmosphere in the fabrication process for display device. A display panel (anode panel AP) includes a fluorescent region formed on a substrate, and an electrode (anode electrode), formed on the fluorescent region, wherein electrons emitted from an electron source penetrate the electrode and collide with the fluorescent region to allow the fluorescent region to emit light to obtain a desired image, wherein a color filter and a color filter protective film are formed in this order from the side of the substrate between the substrate and the fluorescent region.
Abstract:
A threaded joint for steel pipes comprises a pin (1) and a box (2) each having a threaded portion (3a or 3b) and an unthreaded metal-to-metal contact portion (4a or 4b) as contact surfaces which contact each other when the joint is fastened. The contact surfaces (3a and 4a and/or 3b and 4b) of at least one of the pin (1) and the box (2) are coated with a lower layer of a solid lubricating coating containing a solid lubricating powder (e.g., molybdenum disulfide, tungsten disulfide, or graphite) and a binder (e.g., an epoxy or other organic resin) and an upper layer of a solid corrosion protective coating formed by an organic resin which does not contain solid particles.
Abstract:
A threaded joint for steel pipes comprised of a pin (1) and a box (2) each having a threaded portion (1a, 2b) and an unthreaded contact portion (1b, 2a) exhibits adequate leakage resistance and galling resistance when used for makeup of oil country tubular goods with application of a green dope or even without any dope. The threaded joint has a first plating layer of Sn—Bi—Cu alloy plating formed on the contact surface of at least one of the pin (1) or the box (2). The first plating layer may have a second plating layer selected from Sn plating, Cu plating, and Ni plating on its lower side and at least one layer of a lubricating coating, and particularly a solid lubricating coating on its upper side.
Abstract:
A pin-box type threaded joint for steel tubes having a contact surface (30) including a threaded portion and a nonthreaded metal-to-metal contact portion has improved leak resistance, galling resistance, and corrosion resistance particularly to crevice corrosion. The contact surface of at least one of the pin and the box is coated with a first plating layer (34) made of a Cu—Zn alloy or a Cu—Zn-M1 alloy (wherein M1 is at least one element selected from Sn, Bi, and In). Optionally, an undercoat (32) of one or both of a Ni plating layer (32a) and a Cu plating layer (32b) and an overcoat of a Sn-M2 alloy plating layer (36) (wherein M2 is one or more elements selected from Bi, In, Ni, Zn, and Cu) may be formed below and above the first layer, respectively. A solid lubricating coating (38a) and a viscous liquid or semisolid lubricating coating (38b) may also be formed atop the plating layer as a lubricating coating (38).
Abstract:
This invention relates to a threaded joint for steel pipes which comprises a pin and a box each having a contact surface including a threaded portion and an unthreaded metal contact portion and which can be prevented from galling during repeated fastening and loosening without application of a compound grease. A solid lubricant coating which comprises a lubricating powder such as molybdenum disulfide and a resin binder is formed on the contact surface of at least one of the pin and the box. The solid lubricant coating has a hardness of 70-140 on the Rockwell M scale and an adhesive strength of at least 500 N/m as determined by the SAICAS (Surface And Interfacial Cutting Analysis System) method, and it exhibits excellent galling resistance even in the environment of high-temperature oil wells. Inclusion of ultraviolet screening fine particles such as titanium oxide fine particles in the solid lubricant coating increases the rust preventing properties of the threaded joint.
