Abstract:
A composition and method of forming an internal neutral density filter on a luminescent screen assembly of a cathode ray tube (CRT) is disclosed. The luminescent screen assembly is formed on an interior surface of a glass faceplate panel of the CRT tube. The luminescent screen assembly includes a patterned light-absorbing matrix that defines three sets of fields corresponding to one of a blue region, a green region and a red region. An internal neutral density filter is formed on the light-absorbing matrix. An array of blue, green and red color phosphors is formed on the internal neutral density filter corresponding to one of the blue region, the green region and the red region defined in the light-absorbing matrix. The internal neutral density filter has a composition including a red pigment, a blue pigment and at least one non-pigmented oxide particle.
Abstract:
Phosphor powders and a method for making phosphor powders. The powders are oxygen-containing, such as metal oxides, silicates, borates or titanates and have a small particle size, narrow particle size distribution and are substantially spherical. The method of the invention advantageously permits the continuous production of such powders. The invention also relates to improved devices, such as display devices, incorporating the phosphor powders.
Abstract:
The present invention can further enhance the light emission characteristics of phosphor excited by the irradiation of electron beams of high density. In a cathode ray tube including a phosphor film, a faceplate panel which constitutes a screen, an aluminum vapor-deposited film, a funnel and an electron gun, phosphor which constitutes the phosphor film applied to the faceplate panel is constituted of a terbium activated phosphor which is produced by substituting a portion of yttrium (Y) in base material crystals which contain zinc (Zn), yttrium (Y), silicon (Si) and oxygen (O) as main constitutional elements with terbium ion (Tb3null) and a trace amount of rare earth element ion is added to the terbium activated phosphor.
Abstract:
An epoxy-free method for manufacturing a faceplate for a laser-CRT that produces a uniform bonding interface between the laser structure and the transparent substrate during faceplate fabrication such that efficient uniform optical output, thermal expansion coefficient matching, and better heat transfer can be achieved. The faceplate comprises a laser structure including an active gain layer and first and second mirrors on opposite sides of the active gain layer, and a transparent substrate thermal expansion matched to the laser structure and bonded to the laser structure. The laser structure and transparent substrate are bonded using diffusion bonding or sol-gel bonding to create the highly uniform bonding interface.

Flat CRT panel including a substantially flat outside surface, and an inside surface of a fixed curvature, wherein the inside surface of the panel is formed to meet a condition of null(RhnullRv)/2nullnullRdnull8.0null10.3, where nullRdnull denotes a representative diagonal sectional radius of curvature, nullRhnull denotes a representative long-axis sectional radius of curvature, and nullRvnull represents a representative short-axis sectional radius of curvature when an effective screen size of the panel is greater than 25null, thereby reducing thermal breakage, and permitting fabrication of lighter panel.
Abstract:
A cathode ray tube and a color selecting member, which can be manufactured without defects by using an existing projection aligner of a simple structure and can always produce a picture of high quality, and manufacture methods thereof. A phosphor layer has a pattern in stripes in the lateral direction of a screen, or in the horizontal direction. A color selecting member has slits elongated in the longitudinal direction of the screen, or in the horizontal scan line direction. Even in case of the thermal expansion of the color selecting member or a considerable longitudinal deviation between the exposure position at the time of manufacture and the position where an electron beam strikes in practical use, an electron beam can freely pass through the slits. Therefore, the accuracy of irradiation of the phosphor layer with the electron beam is not adversely influenced.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a tracking picture tube of the type in which comb-shaped electrodes or optical detecting means (22, 23) are used for generating a signal relative to the position of electron beams (9r, 9g, 9b) deflected onto phosphor strips (5r, 5g, 5b). The tube is characterized in that a first peripheral (uppermost) strip (5r) of said group of adjacent strips borders only finger portions (24a, 24b) of the first detecting means (22) in said pair of detecting means, and a second peripheral (lowermost) strip (5b) of said group of adjacent strips borders only finger portions (25a, 25b) of the second electrode (23) in said pair of detecting means. This configuration ensures improved tracking of the beams with respect to the centrally located phosphor strip.

A cathode ray tube includes a panel having a substantially flat outer surface and an inner curved surface with a phosphor screen. The panel has a substantially rectangular effective screen portion with two long sides parallel to each other, two short sides parallel to each other and four rounded edges interconnecting each long side and the neighboring short side. The effective screen portion is structured such that a first line V1 interconnecting centers of the long sides, a second line H1 interconnecting centers of the short sides and a third line D1 interconnecting centers of the rounded edges opposite to each other meet at a point. The effective screen portion has a first thickness Tv at the centers of the long sides, a second thickness Th at the centers of the short sides, a third thickness Td at the centers of the edges and a fourth thickness Tc at the meeting point of the first to third lines V1, H1 and D1. A shadow mask is disposed within the panel such that the shadow mask faces the inner curved surface of the panel. The shadow mask has a curvature corresponding to the inner curved surface of the panel. The ratio of the second thickness Th to the third thickness Td while subtracting the fourth thickness Tc from each thickness satisfies the following condition: 0.75null(ThnullTc)/(TdnullTc)null0.85, and the ratio of the first thickness Tv to the third thickness Td while subtracting the fourth thickness Tc from each thickness satisfies the following condition: 0.75null(TvnullTc)/(TdnullTc)null0.85.
