Abstract:
This invention concerns an improvement in manufacturing of color picture tubes wherein photosensitive slurry is applied on the inner surface of a face panel of the tube and dried to form a dried slurry, then a shadow mask is secured to the face panel with a specified gap in between, and ultraviolet rays impinge on the dried slurry layer through a path-refracting lens and apertures of said shadow mask so as to form dots on the inner surface. The improvement lies in provision of a light attenuator to control exposure distribution of the ultraviolet rays closely beneath the shadow mask. With this arrangement, sizes of the dots in the edge part of a screen can be made almost equal irrespective of changes of position of the ultraviolet ray source. Consequently, the dots for the three colors in the edge portion of the screen can be made substantially equal in size, and good color balance throughout the picture screen is obtainable.
Abstract:
This invention relates to an electric light-emitting apparatus, wherein electric light-emitting diodes are secured on the flat bottoms of recesses, which are formed on an electrically conductive substrate. The light-emitting diodes are contained in light-conducting wafers of transparent resin embedded in the recesses respectively. Each wafer has an oblique smooth reflection plane for reflecting the light conducted from the light-emitting diodes. A mask with light-diffusing regions and having a roughened lower face is provided to cover all the abovementioned parts in such a manner that the light-diffusing regions receive light from the smooth reflection planes, respectively.
Abstract:
In an incandescent lamp, particularly projection lamps of large luminosity, both ends of an upper glass bar for holding down supporting hooks, which hangingly support segmented coils of an incandescent filament, are welded to specified positions on the inner face of the bulb, so as to secure the filament rigidly and durably.
Abstract:
In a shadow mask support means comprising a bi-metal piece having one end secured to a shadow mask frame with the other end left free, and a leaf spring secured at one end to said free end of the bi-metal piece and extending therefrom toward a pin provided on a side wall of a face panel, the improvement residing in that a metallic plate portion disposed between said frame and said spring is so arranged that it is displaced due to thermal deflection of the bi-metal at the end adjacent to said pin by an amount smaller than the displacement at the opposite end.
Abstract:
A base for an annular lamp comprising a pair of semicylindrical members and base pins upstanding from one of these members. Each base pin is provided with an axial slit for holding therein an external lead of a glass bulb.
Abstract:
Luminous flux and luminous efficiency of a 40 watt fluorescent lamp comprising a ballast specified by the I.E.C. Publication 82 (covering Ballast for fluorescent lamps) is greatly improved by employing an improved tube characterized by: HAVING THE NOMINAL TUBE LENGTH OF 1,200 MM AND THE INNER DIAMETER OF 20 MM TO 25 MM, PROVIDED INSIDE AT EACH END OF THE TUBE WITH AN ELECTRODE E having the length l of 15 mm to 55 mm inward (, from the end face of each cap C as measured as shown in FIG. 2,) and containing mixed rare gas inside the tube, the rare gas having composition ratio represented by any point within a diagonal region defined by connecting the following points (a) to (e) and (a) with straight lines in the following order, on a trilinear chart for xenon, krypton and argon mixture: A.Xe: 1%, Kr: 0%, A: 99% b. Xe: 15%, Kr: 0%, A: 85% c.Xe: 15%, Kr: 65%, A: 20% d.Xe: 0%, Kr: 80%, A: 20% e.Xe: 0%, Kr: 5% A: 95% the pressure of the mixed gas being between 1.0 mmHg and 3.5 mmHg at the temperature of 20*C.
