Patent number: 6624564Abstract: For use in a color cathode ray tube (CRT) having a display screen with a flat outer surface and a curved inner surface, a 2-layer antistatic and antireflective coating for the display screen's flat outer surface compensates for the variation in screen thickness to provide uniform light transmission through the screen and coating combination, a high degree of video image contrast, effective electrostatic shielding and discharge, and reduced light reflectivity. The coating includes a first inner electrically conductive layer disposed on the CRT display screen's flat outer surface containing carbon black particles for a high level of video image contrast and improved electrical conductivity for electrostatic shielding and discharge. The extent of light transmission through the inner conductive layer may be adjusted in accordance with the display screen's thickness by varying the amount of carbon black particles in the coating solution.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2001Date of Patent: September 23, 2003Assignee: Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Ltd.Inventors: Kuo-Chu Wang, Chun-Min Hu

Patent number: 6623662Abstract: A two-layer coating for the outer surface of the display screen of a color cathode ray tube (CRT) includes an inner carbon black-based layer and an outer silica-based layer. The inner layer is antistatic, while the outer layer is antireflective. To compensate for the increased absorption of blue light by the carbon black particles, which results in a color video image having a yellowish tint, a blue additive, such as a pigment or dye, is added to the coating to adjust its light absorbance characteristics and provide uniform light absorbance over the entire visible spectrum of 400-700 nm for improved color video image presentation.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2001Date of Patent: September 23, 2003Assignee: Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Ltd.Inventors: Kuo-Chu Wang, Chun-Min Hu

Patent number: 6521346Abstract: A two-layer coating for the outer surface of a glass display screen of a video display device such as a cathode ray tube (CRT) includes an inner antistatic layer and an outer antireflective layer. The outer antireflective layer contains silica and has a refractive index in the range of 1.4-1.5. The inner layer contains carbon black powder particles which provide high electrical conductivity to dissipate electrostatic charge on the glass display screen. The inner layer further includes a surface activation agent, such as glycol, for dispersing the carbon black particles in the antistatic solution. To increase the refractive index of the inner layer to a value greater than its typical value, which is in the range of 1.5-2.0, for the purpose of reducing light reflection from the glass display screen while maintaining high conductivity, ZrO2, ZnO, ZnS or TiO2, or a combination thereof, is added to the inner antistatic layer to provide a stable solution with optically and electrically desirable characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2001Date of Patent: February 18, 2003Assignee: Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Ltd.Inventors: Kuo-Chu Wang, Chun-Min Hu

Patent number: 5773150Abstract: A high molecular weight, i.e., molecular weight of 90,000-750,000, conductive polymer soluble in both water and alcohol is mixed with a solution of water, alcohol, tetraethoxysilane (TES), and nitric acid (HNO.sub.3) to provide an antistatic coating for a glass display panel of a cathode ray tube (CRT) for grounding static charge on the panel. Conductive polymers such as of polyaniline mixed with either polystyrene sulfonic acid or polyacrylic acid in a molecular ratio of 1:1 or 3,4 polyethylenedioxythiophene added to polystyrenesulphonate in a molecular ratio of 1:1 form a conductive complex which when mixed with a solution of water, alcohol, TES and HNO.sub.3 provides a coating solution with a resistivity in the range of 10.sup.7-10.sup.9 ohm/cm.sup.2 on the outer surface of the CRT display panel.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 1995Date of Patent: June 30, 1998Assignee: Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Ltd.Inventors: Hua-Sou Tong, Chun-Min Hu

Patent number: 5717281Abstract: The inner surface of a video display panel such as cathode ray tube (CRT) glass faceplate is initially coated with a mixture of one of the primary color phosphors, an organic binder such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) diluted with water, and a photoresist agent. The organic binder overcomes the poor adhesion to the glass faceplate of the photoresist which typically includes polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and reduces the oxygen which decreases phosphor exposure time. To overcome PVA and PVP incompatibilities which give rise to nonuniform film thickness, a vinyl pyrrolidone-vinyl alcohol (VP-VA) copolymer is added to the phosphor, organic binder and photoresist mixture in the range of 0.1-30 wt %. The copolymer with both the VP and VA functioning groups serves as a coupling agent between the PVA and PVP and eliminates incompatibilities between these components. The VP-VA copolymer preferably has a VP/VA mole ratio in the range of 20/80 to 80/20.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 1996Date of Patent: February 10, 1998Assignee: Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Ltd.Inventors: Hua-Sou Tong, Chun-Min Hu, Yu-Chung Yu

Patent number: 5688328Abstract: Apparatus for applying an antistatic and/or antireflective coating to the outer surface of a curved glass display screen of a cathode ray tube (CRT) includes a spin coating arrangement for rotating the CRT about its longitudinal axis after the coating solution is deposited on a center portion of the display screen. Centrifugal force and gravity urge the coating solution outwardly toward the edges of the display screen in forming a thin layer of uniform thickness on the display screen. A curved shield shaped in accordance with the display screen's curvature is disposed above the display screen in closely spaced relation thereto to form a chamber of stable air above the display screen and eliminate air turbulence and its tendency to spread the coating nonuniformly. The curved shield may include a center aperture for permitting the coating solution to be deposited upon the display screen prior to rotation and is adapted for easy attachment to and removal from the CRT's peripheral implosion protection band.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 1995Date of Patent: November 18, 1997Assignee: Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Ltd.Inventors: Hua-Sou Tong, Chun-Min Hu
