Abstract:
An exposure chamber for exposing a photosensitive coating on the target surface of a color picture tube comprises means for supporting the face panel and an aperture mask in a parallel spaced and confronting relation transversely of the reference axis of the chamber. An optical system comprises a primary light source and a virtual light source, the latter including a collimator having a light emitter for irradiating the target surface through the aperture mask from a position offset from the center of the target. The emitter thus normally projects a nonuniform intensity distribution pattern and is surrounded by a light stop selectively masking a portion of the emitter to control the intensity distribution pattern of light impinging upon the target surface.
Abstract:
AN ELECTRON SHIELD FOR A SHADOW-MASK TYPE OF COLOR TUBE BRIDGES THE SPACE BETWEEN THE MASK FRAME AND THE TUBE ENVELOPE. THE ELECTRON SHIELD IS COMPRISED OF A PLURALITY OF SEGMENTS EACH SEGMENT HAVING ONE END WHICH IS CURVED TO CONFORM TO THE INSIDE CONTOUR OF THE ENVELOPE CORNER IN WHICH IT IS PLACED. THE OTHER END OF EACH SHIELD SEGMENT IS STRAIGHT AND SLIGHTLY OVERLAPS THE CURVED END OF THE PREVIOUSLY PLACED SEGMENT.
