Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for providing displays based upon the principle of photoluminescent quenching are described. The invention includes a method of displaying information using photoluminescence quenching, the method comprising providing an optoelectronic display comprising a photoluminescent material between a pair of electrodes, providing illumination for the photoluminescent material to cause the photoluminescent material to photoluminescence, and biasing the electrodes to at least partially quench the photoluminescence.
Abstract:
The present invention enhances the quality of displayed images by enhancing the uniformity of the total transmissivity over the whole surface of a panel having a wavelength selective absorption layer imparted with gradation thus reducing the color difference of the body color. A transmissivity ratio between a peripheral portion and a central portion of a panel formed of tinted glass which differs in wall thickness between the peripheral portion and the central portion of a screen before the surface treatment is set to a value not greater than 60%, and the body color of the panel is set such that L*null30 to 40, a*nullnull8.5 to 1.5, b*nullnull5 to 5 at the center portion, L*null13.5 to 23.5, a*nullnull7.5 to 2.5, b*nullnull6.5 to 3.5 at the peripheral portion, where color difference is set to nulla*b*null3, and the film formed on the outer surface of the panel is constituted of a wavelength selective absorption layer and a conductive layer which is formed over the wavelength selective absorption layer.
Abstract:
A composition and method of forming an internal neutral density filter on a luminescent screen assembly of a cathode ray tube (CRT) is disclosed. The luminescent screen assembly is formed on an interior surface of a glass faceplate panel of the CRT tube. The luminescent screen assembly includes a patterned light-absorbing matrix that defines three sets of fields corresponding to one of a blue region, a green region and a red region. An internal neutral density filter is formed on the light-absorbing matrix. An array of blue, green and red color phosphors is formed on the internal neutral density filter corresponding to one of the blue region, the green region and the red region defined in the light-absorbing matrix. The internal neutral density filter has a composition including a red pigment, a blue pigment and at least one non-pigmented oxide particle.
Abstract:
A body portion of the funnel, within a range excluding corners, has a first region of predetermined dimension, the predetermined dimension being measured from the seal edge surface in a direction parallel to a tube axis, and a second region excluding the first region. The second region has a thickness relatively smaller than the thickness of the first region, so that a boundary portion between the two regions forms a stepped portion on the external surface of the body portion.
Abstract:
A panel for a cathode ray tube having an inner surface with predetermined roughness, including a plurality of black matrix layers formed on the inner surface and a phosphor layer composed of red, green and blue phosphors between the black matrix layers, and the phosphor layer and the black matrix layer are formed on the inner surface of the panel after forming a transparent dielectric film, can prevent degradation of brightness and color purity of a screen caused as a result of grinding process which gives roughness to an inner surface of the panel in order to prevent mirror surface reflection on the inner surface of the panel caused by external light.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a cathode ray tube which can suppress a coloring phenomenon of a panel glass which is attributed to the irradiation of electron beams. At an electron beam irradiation side of a panel glass PNL of the cathode ray tube PRT, a transparent thin oxide layer TF of an element whose reduction by the irradiation of electron beams is difficult is formed. With the provision of the transparent thin oxide layer TF, the present invention suppresses the coloring phenomenon of the panel glass attributed to the irradiation of electron beams.
Abstract:
In a color cathode ray tube, by optimizing an outer radios of curvature, an inner radius of curvature on a corner portion, a thickness of a long side, a thickness of a short side, a thickness of the corner portion, the total length of the panel, the total length of the funnel body and the total length of a yoke portion of the funnel determining a section shape of the yoke portion of the funnel, a stress concentrated on the yoke portion can be lowered. In addition, according to the increase of an inner radius of curvature of the corner portion of the yoke portion, a crash phenomenon of an electron beam is decreased, and an impact resistance and productivity improvement in fabrication process can be secured by lowering a high stress occurrence on the funnel in vacuum.

Abstract:
A cathode ray tube having a panel with a fluorescent film made of a fluorescent material coated at the inner surface thereof; a cathode mounted in the panel and generating an electron beam; an electron beam controller for controlling and deflecting the electron beam in order to hit the fluorescent film; and a back glass attached to the panel and sealed in a state that the cathode and the electron beam controller are mounted therein, in which a ratio of a minimum thickness of a panel glass to a minimum thickness of a skirt portion of the panel is below 1.0. The full depth of the cathode ray tube is reduced and the weight of the cathode ray tube is minimized by controlling the thickness of the panel glass, the skirt portion of the panel glass and the back glass. In addition, the atmospheric pressure applied to the panel glass and the back glass is uniformly distributed to the panel glass, the back glass and the skirt portion, thereby performing a deformation.
