Abstract:
In order to form a fluorescent surface on a panel (9) of a colour cathode ray tube, a light source is placed at a number of positions (0 2 , 0, Q 1 ) and exposed at each position to a photoresist film (10) on the inside surface of the panel to form prescribed stripe width patterns using a transmission light intensity distribution formed by superposed plural Fresnel diffraction waveforms. Exposure is effected in the different positions via different correction lens systems (12, 28,, 28 2 ) selected to correspond to the exposure at the various light source positions and the absolute value of the transmission light intensity distribution and the derivative (dl/dx) of the transmission light intensity distribution at positions corresponding to the edge of the stripe width pattern are optimised over the entire inside surface of the panel.
Abstract:
A cathode-ray tube capable of forming an image of high quality by forming a phosphor dot pattern on the internal surface of the face panel with high shape accuracy and positional accuracy. The phosphor dot pattern is formed as follows. Exposing light is passed through a swinging lens for correction. The lens has small flat and curved portions so that a lattice-like bright-line pattern is produced behind the lens due to the steps between the adjacent flat and curved portions. The pattern is projected onto the whole photosensitive film on the internal side of the face panel through a shadow mask. Using the exposed photosensitive film as a mask, a phosphor dot pattern is formed on the internal side of the face panel. The screen of the cathode-ray tube is made up of more than one million picture elements of the phosphor dot pattern. The rate of change in luminance of the screen is less than +/-0.15 %.
Abstract:
An apparatus for electrophotographically manufacturing a luminescent screen assembly on a substrate (18), for use within a CRT includes a developer for developing a photoconductive layer (34), having a latent image thereon, with dry-powdered, triboelectrically-charged screen structure materials (48, 48'). The photoconductive layer (34) overlies a conductive layer (32) in contact with the substrate (18). A grid-developing electrode (44) is located at a distance from the photoconductive layer that is large relative to the smallest dimension of the latent image. The electrode is biased with a suitable potential, to influence the deposition of the charged screen structure materials onto the latent image on the photoconductive layer. A method for electrophotographically manufacturing the screen assembly utilizing the grid-developing electrode is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A color cathode-ray tube having at least a front panel, a funnel and an electron gun. A luminescent film is provided on the front panel. The luminescent film is produced in this manner. Red-light-emitting, green-light-emitting, and blue-light-emitting phosphor layers are repetitively laminated with nonluminescent layers interleaved. The laminate is cut along its thickness into films and baked. This makes it possible to efficiently produce a cathode-ray tube having a color luminescent screen that features very high accuracy and high resolution, and that can be adapted to small CRTs.
Abstract:
A color display device is provided with a black-matrix layer, a phosphor pattern and color-filter layers. The rheological behavior of the suspension and/or the evaporation of volatile constituents is influenced by the topology of the color-filter layers, with, in particular, projecting color-filter layers exerting an influence. As a result, variations in thickness between the phosphor layers occur. By reducing the differences in height between a projecting color-filter layer and the black-matrix layer, the variations in thickness between the phosphor layers are reduced and hence the quality of the picture displayed is improved.
Abstract:
In the manufacture of a color-display device comprising color-filter layers, phosphor haze may occur. Said phosphor haze adversely affects the picture quality. Phosphor haze can be reduced substantially, or precluded, by providing one, and only one, of the color-filter layers by means of a negative lithography process and, subsequently, providing the phosphor corresponding to this color-filter layer before the other phosphor layers.
Abstract:
A method for creating a faceplate of a display provides a faceplate substrate with a faceplate interior side and a faceplate exterior side. A plurality of barriers are formed on the faceplate interior side, with the barriers defining a plurality of subpixel volumes. Phosphor containing photopolymerizable material mixtures of red, green and blue, are deposited into subpixel volumes, and create a faceplate interior side/phosphor interface. At least a portion of the phosphor containing photopolymerizable material mixture is exposed with sufficient actinic light through the faceplate interior side/phosphor interface to polymerize a selected depth of the phosphor containing photopolymerizable material mixture in the subpixel volumes, and form a polymerized phosphor containing material in a plurality of subpixel volumes. Non-polymerized phosphor containing photopolymerizable material is removed from the polymerized phosphor containing material.
Abstract:
A method of producing a fluorescent screen used for a color cathode-ray tube. Red-light-emitting, green-light-emitting, and blue-light-emitting phosphor layers are repetitively laminated with nonluminescent layers interleaved to form a laminated product which is then cut into thin films in the direction of thickness. The film is adhered or press-adhered onto the front panel of the color cathode-ray tube, and then baked. This method makes it possible to efficiently produce a color luminescent screen having very high accuracy and high resolution, as well as to form very fine RGB stripes. Therefore, the color luminescent screen can further be applied even to small CRTs that could not be so far put into practical use easily.
Abstract:
Method for a phosphor screen of a cathode ray tube includes the steps of forming a photo-tacky layer on a panel of a cathode ray tube, exposing the photo-tacky layer to form an adhesive pattern on the layer, and adhering phosphor powder on the adhesive pattern, in which these exposing and adhering steps are repeated. Before the next exposing step, the photo-tacky layer is heated and then exposed after cooling. The heating step prevents the sensitivity of the layer from deterioration caused by the preceding adhering step.
Abstract:
In a method of making an illuminance-correcting light-transmitting filter (1) employed in an exposure device for the preparation of the phosphor screen of a colour cathode ray tube, modulated laser light (R) is irradiated on the surface of a filter base plate (12) on which an opaque thin layer (12A) of the recording material has previously been formed. A pattern of through-holes of variable size or density is formed as the thin layer (12A) is vapourized, so that the light transmitting filter (1) can be prepared with high accuracy in a short time. The filter base plate (12) is mounted on a movable stage (13), the movement of which in the X and Y-directions is controlled by a computer (10).
