Abstract: An analyzing unit has a linear SVM discriminating section and a nonlinear SVM discriminating section and analyzes an image data having an intensity data for numerous wavelengths in each pixel. In the linear SVM discriminating section, the discrimination as to whether the intensity data is an object data or not is performed for every pixel by using an intensity data of the image data as a feature quantity and using the linear SVM, and subsequently in the nonlinear SVM discriminating section, discrimination using the nonlinear SVM is performed only with respect to the pixels discriminated by the linear SVM as their intensity data being object data. Discrimination can be accomplished with higher precision as compared with the case where all pixels are discriminated only with the linear SVM. Also, as compared with the case where the discrimination is conducted only with the nonlinear SVM for all pixels, the discrimination can be accomplished at higher speed.

Abstract: A green light-emitting phosphor for a display emits green light when excited by an electron beam of an acceleration voltage of 15 kV or less and is composed of particles of a manganese-activated zinc silicate phosphor having an average particle size of 1.0 to 2.0 ?m. A field-emission display, comprises a phosphor layer including a blue light-emitting phosphor layer, a green light-emitting phosphor layer and a red light-emitting phosphor layer, an electron emitting source which emits an electron beam having an acceleration voltage of 15 kV or less onto the phosphor layer to make it to emit light, and an envelope which vacuum-seals the electron emitting source and the phosphor layer, wherein the green light-emitting phosphor layer includes the green light-emitting phosphor composed of the manganese-activated zinc silicate phosphor having an average particle size of 1.0 to 2.0 ?m.

Abstract: A blue-emitting phosphor for a display of the present invention is a zinc phosphor which emits blue light when excited by an electron beam with an accelerating voltage of 15 kV or lower and which is made of a zinc sulfide phosphor of a hexagonal system with silver and aluminum as activators and with an average particle size of 1.0 to 4.0 ?m. The blue-emitting phosphor can be manufactured by: continuously passing a phosphor material through a tubular heating furnace which is set inclined relative to a horizontal direction and rotates, to clickly heating and burning the phosphor material in the heating furnace; and continuously discharging and cooling a burned material. A field-emission display using the blue-emitting phosphor has improved display characteristics such as initial brightness (white brightness) color reproducibility and the like and has a high withstand voltage characteristic.

A method for producing the phosphor, comprising burning a phosphor material containing elements constituting a host material of the phosphor and an activator or compounds containing the elements by heating in a heating furnace while flowing or rotating them to manganese activated zinc silicate phosphor particles having a major-to-minor axis ratio of 1.0 to 1.4. Another method for producing the phosphor, comprising burning phosphor material by heating in a heating furnace while flowing or rotating them to obtain a manganese activated zinc silicate phosphor having an afterglow time of less than 9 ms. Thus, a compact phosphor layer with high packing density can be formed, and there can be obtained a phosphor capable of high-luminance green light emission upon excitation by vacuum ultraviolet rays or low-voltage electron beams.
