  • Publication number: 20140225152
    Abstract: A wiring board includes a base in which plate wirings formed of a metal plate are integrally formed with an insulating portion made of resin or a resin composition and surface wirings electrically connected to the plate wirings. The base has first and second surfaces on which the surface wirings are formed. The surface wirings are thinner than the plate wirings, and the minimum wiring gap between the surface wirings is smaller than the minimum wiring gap between the plate wirings. One of the plate wirings has substantially the same shape as that of a region where the first top-surface wiring on the first surface and the first bottom-surface wiring on the second surface overlap with each other in the normal direction of the first surface. The first top-surface wiring and the first bottom-surface wiring are connected to each other through the above-mentioned one of the plate wirings.

  • Patent number: 6592420
    Abstract: A glass substrate manufacturing method and a color cathode ray tube manufacturing method manufactures a front substrate on which a phosphor layer is formed. In an application process a phosphor slurry of one color is applied onto an inner surface of a glass substrate on which a phosphor pattern in at least one color has already been formed. Then, in a spreading process, the glass substrate is rotated about an axis located at the approximate center of the inner surface to make the phosphor slurry spread out over its inner surface. Following this, in a draining process the glass substrate is tilted to a first tilt angle of more than 90° to drain excess slurry off the inner surface of the glass substrate, a tilt angle being formed between a vertical axis and an axis orthogonal to an outer surface of the glass substrate. In a spinning process the glass substrate is returned to a second tilt angle smaller than the first tilt angle, and rotated.

  • Patent number: 6103297
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a cathode-ray tube comprises a process of forming a phosphor screen. The process comprises an application process, a shake-off process, and a drying process. In the application process, a glass panel is tilted with respect to a vertical axis and is rotated having a tilt axis as a central axis to spread a phosphor slurry over almost the entire area of an inner face of the glass panel. In the shake-off process, by rotating the glass panel, excess phosphor slurry is shaken off, and the excess phosphor slurry is recovered in phosphor-slurry recovery members provided at the four corners of the glass panel. In the drying process, the phosphor slurry is dried. In this method, the tilt angle and rotation speed of the glass panel at least in one process out of the application process, the shake-off process, and the drying process is changed at least in two stages.

  • Patent number: 5936339
    Abstract: A color image receiving tube comprising three color (red, green and blue) phosphor screens on an inner surface of a face-plate; wherein at least two of said three color phosphor screens are coated with pigments; and wherein said three color phosphor screens have a total reflective brightness less than 70% that of three color phosphor screens with no pigment coating. According to the above-mentioned constitution, a color image receiving tube having a higher emisson brightness and contrast is achieved as compared to a color image receiving tube having the same reflective brightness, where the reflective brightness is obtained by lowering the light transmittance of its face-plate.
