Abstract:
A light-emitting device (42, 68, 80, 90, or 100) suitable for a flat-panel CRT display contains a plate (54), a light-emissive region (56), and a light-reflective layer (60 or 70). The light-emitting device achieves one or more of the following characteristics by suitably implementing the light-reflective layer or/and providing one or more layers (72, 82, 92, and 100) along the light-reflective layer: (a) reduced electron energy loss as electrons pass through the light-reflective layer, (b) gettering along the light-reflective layer, (c) reduced secondary electron emission along the light-reflective layer, (d) reduced electron backscattering along the light-reflective layer, and (e) reduced chemical reactivity along the light-reflective layer.
Abstract:
An apparatus for removing contaminants from a display device (400) is disclosed. In one embodiment, an auxiliary chamber (408) is adapted to be coupled to a surface of a display device (400) such that contaminants within the display device can travel from the display device into the auxiliary chamber. A getter (410) is disposed in the auxiliary chamber (408). The getter is adapted to capture the contaminants once the contaminants travel from the display device (400) into the auxiliary chamber (408). In other embodiments, the getter is disposed in the border region surrounding the active area of the display.
