Abstract:
A spring used in a CRT interconnects a stud pin embedded into a CRT panel and a mask frame mounting a shadow mask thereon so that the spring removably mounts the shadow mask within the CRT panel. In order to minimize or interrupt a vibration energy transmitted to the shadow mask, the spring is formed with a composite metal plate having a laminated structure of more than two materials capable of converting the vibration energy applied thereto into a thermal energy by an internal or interfacial friction. The composite metal plate is preferably composed of a first steel, a zinc alloy, and a second steel. A method of making the spring includes the steps of plating two or more metallic materials in sequence, rolling the plated metallic materials into an integrated composite metal plate, and forming the composite metal plate into a spring shape.
Abstract:
A shadow mask includes an aperture portion having a plurality of apertures formed therein, the aperture portion being formed over a predetermined area in a center of the shadow mask; and a non-aperture portion defining a periphery of the shadow mask and formed adjacent to the aperture portion. Only the aperture portion is selectively heat-treated to result in a tensile strength of the aperture portion being 1.2 to 3 times greater than that of the non-aperture portion, and the modulus of elasticity of the aperture portion being 1.5 to 3 times greater than that of the non-aperture portion. The method includes the steps of selectively performing a heat-treating process on only the aperture portion of the shadow mask by mounting a separating cover on the non-aperture portion, the separating cover preventing contact of the non-aperture portion with the gaseous atmosphere present during the heat treating process. The shadow mask is then press-formed.

Disclosed is a shadow mask for a cathode ray tube (CRT) and a method of manufacturing the same. The shadow mask includes a solid solution hardening material and a precipitation hardening material. The method includes the steps of heat treating a metallic plate having a plurality of apertures formed therein using a carburizing gas, and press-forming the metallic plate into a shadow mask shape.
Abstract:
A cathode for an electron tube and a preparing method therefor are provided. In the cathode for an electron tube having a base metal and an electron-emitting material layer, the particle size of the micro structure of the surface of the base metal is controlled to be in the range of 3 to 50 &mgr;m. The cathode for an electron tube has an excellent effect of diffusing intermediate products generated during the operation of the cathode, and is capable of consistently supplying a diffusion path of a reducing agent. Also, the cut off drift rate can be reduced, thereby attaining a long life span characteristic.

Disclosed is a shadow mask for a cathode ray tube (CRT) and a method of manufacturing the same. The shadow mask includes a nitrogen compound. The method includes the steps of heat-treating a metallic plate having a plurality of apertures formed therein in the presence of a nitriding gas, and press-forming the metallic plate into a shadow mask shape.
Abstract:
A panel assembly for a cathode ray tube includes a panel having an inner phosphor screen and a side-wall, and a shadow mask having a plurality of beam-guide apertures. The shadow mask is placed behind the phosphor screen at a predetermined distance. A shadow mask frame is attached under the shadow mask to suspend it in the panel. The panel assembly further includes a plurality of stud pins embedded into the side-wall of the panel, a spring positioned between the shadow mask frame and the stud pins to interconnect them, and a vibration damping member for damping vibration of the shadow mask by converting mechanical stress applied to the shadow mask into electrical energy. The vibration damping member is formed with piezoelectric material layers provided on at least one of an outer periphery of the stud pin and between the spring and mask frame.
Abstract:
A paste composition for screen printing a cathode ray tube (CRT) shadow mask, the composition including 12-32 wt % of a vehicle, 34-87 wt % of an electron reflecting material, and 0.7-44 wt % of a frit, and a screen printing method using the paste composition. A CRT shadow mask to which the paste composition has been applied, the vehicle driven off, and the frit glassified exhibits decreased doming due to reduced thermal expansion of the shadow mask.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a correction lens system of an exposure apparatus for a cathode-ray tube which comprises a lens formed with a plurality of block cells joined together and which diffuses and irradiates a light emitted from a light source to an inner surface of a panel, characterized in that the lens system is structured to interrupt ultraviolet rays having a wave length of less than 300 nm, and a method for manufacturing a correction lens of an exposure apparatus for a cathode-ray tube, for diffusing and irradiating a light emitted from a light source to an inner surface of a panel, wherein the method comprises the steps of treating a plurality block cells made of glass such that an upper part of each block cell is inclined at a predetermined angle, polishing the block cells, and adhering the block cells to each other to form a correction lens having a certain shape.
