Abstract: Upper and lower vortex chambers are disposed immediately below a calcining furnace for calcining powdery raw materials. The scattering clinker particles from a fluidized-bed burning furnace are trapped in the lower vortex chamber and are returned to the fluidized-bed burning furnace so that the scattering clinker particles are positively prevented from flowing into the upper vortex chamber and the calcining furnace.

Abstract: In a phosphor screen of cathode ray tube produced by forming a lacquer film between phosphor layers and a metallic film, when the lacquer film is formed by using a composition comprising a resin component, an organic solvent and a plasticizer in an amount of about 12 to 60% by weight based on the weight of the resin component, the resulting phosphor screen is excellent in adhesive strength of the metallic film and can prevent color mixing and halation.

Abstract: A method of forming a color picture tube fluorescent screen by so-called dry process. After a photosticky substance mainly containing a diazonium compound is coated on a panel inner face, phosphor is adhered to portions of the compound which have been exposed to light through a color selection electrode and rendered sticky, and surplus phosphor applied on unexposed portions of the compound is removed, the above steps being consecutively repeated for phosphors of three colors to form picture elements of triads of three color phosphors on the panel inner face. The panel inner face is then treated with an aqueous solution containing at least polymer coagulant.

Abstract: For formation of a cathode-ray tube phosphor screen by causing a fluorescent material to adhere to a particle-accepting sticky surface formed uniformly on the inner surface of a face plate, phosphor particles are placed on the inner surface of the face plate and caused to slide physically over the particle-accepting sticky surface so as to be stuck thereto.

Abstract: An amphoteric surfactant is added to a photosensitive composition consisting essentially of an aromatic diazonium salt and used to prepare a fluorescent screen of a color picture tube.

Abstract: In a method of forming a fluorescent screen of a color picture tube by a dry process, the method comprises a first step of precoating an emulsion containing a powder of acryl resin on an inner surface of a face plate of the color picture tube to form a primary coating, a second step of coating on the primary coating a photosensitive composition consisting essentially of a diazonium salt to form a thin film, a third step of exposing to light a selected portion of the thin film to render the same to become adhesive, a fourth step of depositing a powder of a phosphor on the selected portion to form a phosphor layer of a first color and a fifth step of repeating the third and fourth steps to form phosphor layers of second and third colors.

Abstract: In forming a fluorescent screen for a color picture tube having triads of phosphor materials of the three primary colors arranged in a predetermined pattern on the inner surface of a panel, a photosensitive film which exhibits stickiness when exposed to a threshold amount of light is formed on the inner surface of the panel. Locations of the photosensitive film where the three color phosphor materials respectively occupy are exposed to light from a light source through a shadow mask mounted to the panel. The amount of exposure light for a first color phosphor material is the threshold or above and that for second and third phosphor materials is below the threshold. After completion of the light exposures for the first to third color phosphor materials through the shadow mask, the shadow mask is dismounted from the panel and the first color phosphor material is deposited onto the photosensitive film.

Abstract: The photosensitive resin which exhibits stickiness by photo-reaction is added with a binder which does not substantially raise dark reaction, and a resultant mixture is applied onto the inner surface of face panel of the color picture tube to form a film. Portion of the film where powdery material is going to be applied is exposed to light and rendered sticky. Phosphor powder, when used as the powdery material, is applied to the sticky portion and adhered thereto to form a fluorescent screen.

Abstract: A process for forming a phosphor screen of a color picture tube comprising forming a thin layer using a photosensitive composition which contains an aromatic diazonium salt as a photosensitive component and produces tackiness by exposure to actinic light on the surface of the substrate and contacting the tackified thin layer after exposure to light with phosphor particles to form each phosphor layer for emitting color is improved by using as the phosphor particles those coated with at least one surface coating material selected from the group consisting of Zn(OH).sub.2, Zn.sub.3 (PO.sub.4).sub.2 and AlPO.sub.4 in shortening the contact time between the thin layer and the phosphor particles.

Abstract: In a method of forming a fluorescent screen on the inner surface of a face plate of a color picture tube wherein a film of photosensitive composition consisting essentially of a diazonium salt, the portions of the films to be deposited with phosphors are exposed to light through a color selection electrode so as to impart sticky property to the portions by a photoreaction and moisture in atmosphere and then a powder of phosphors is deposited by utilizing the sticky property, a photosensitive binder is incorporated into photosensitive film which undergoes a cross-linkage reaction with the photosensitive composition, thus rendering the mixture insoluble in water.

Abstract: In light exposure apparatus wherein the face plate of a color picture tube is exposed to the light from a light source through a swinging illumination intensity correcting filter, a correction lens and a color selection electrode, the effective surface of the illumination intensity correcting filter comprises a plurality of regions having different light transmitting ability, and the effect of the optical characteristics at the interfaces between the regions is arranged and substantially eliminated by the swinging motion of the illumination intensity correcting filter.
