A length from an edge of the panel joined to the funnel to a circumference edge of the light absorption layer formed on an interior surface of the sidewall of the panel is longer than or equal with that from the edge of the panel to a circumference edge of the optical filter layer formed similarly on an interior surface of the sidewall of the panel. The color cathode ray tube can be manufactured by making a length from an edge of the panel to a scraping edge of the light absorption layer in the trimming step of the light absorption layer longer than or equal with that from the edge of the panel to a scraping edge of the filter layer in the trimming step of the filter layer.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2001Date of Patent: October 7, 2003Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Koji Washiyama, Keisuke Iida, Masaaki Inamura

Patent number: 6596134Abstract: A multicolor organic light emitting device employs vertically stacked layers of double heterostructure devices which are fabricated from organic compounds. The vertical stacked structure is formed on a glass base having a transparent coating of ITO or similar metal to provide a substrate. Deposited on the substrate is the vertical stacked arrangement of three double heterostructure devices, each fabricated from a suitable organic material. Stacking is implemented such that the double heterostructure with the longest wavelength is on the top of the stack. This constitutes the device emitting red light on the top with the device having the shortest wavelength, namely, the device emitting blue light, on the bottom of the stack. Located between the red and blue device structures is the green device structure.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1999Date of Patent: July 22, 2003Assignee: The Trustees of Princeton UniversityInventors: Stephen R. Forrest, Mark E. Thompson, Paul E. Burrows, Vladimir Bulovic, Gong Gu

Patent number: 6592933Abstract: A method for producing an organic electroluminescent device, the organic electroluminescent device comprising a first electrode formed on a substrate, a thin film layer on the first electrodes, the thin film layer comprising at least an emitting layer comprising an organic compound, a second electrode formed on the thin film layer, and a plurality of luminescent regions on the substrate, wherein the method for producing the organic electroluminescent device comprises forming spacers having a height exceeding a thickness of the thin film layer on the substrate and vapor-depositing a deposit while a mask portion of a shadow mask is kept in contact with the spacers, the shadow mask comprising apertures having reinforcing lines. Highly precise fine patterning can be effected under wide vapor deposition conditions without degrading the properties of organic electroluminescent elements, and high stability can be achieved by the method without limiting the structure of the electroluminescent device.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 1999Date of Patent: July 15, 2003Assignee: Toray Industries, Inc.Inventors: Yoshio Himeshima, Shigeo Fujimori, Akira Kohama

Patent number: 6592420Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2000Date of Patent: July 15, 2003Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryouji Onishi, Hikaru Nishimori, Hideo Iguchi, Naoyuki Tani

Publication number: 20030124265Abstract: A method of transferring a transfer element of a donor sheet to a receptor includes forming an organic layer on a receptor substrate and forming a transfer element on a donor sheet, where the exposed surface of the transfer element is organic. Either the surface of the organic layer or the exposed surface of the transfer element (or both) is roughened using a plasma treatment. The transfer element of the donor sheet is then selectively thermally transferred to the surface of the organic layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2001Publication date: July 3, 2003Applicant: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Erika Bellmann, Padiyath Raghunath, John P.

Patent number: 6582756Abstract: A method for fabricating an electroluminescent display and the substrate and apparatus used therein. The display is preferably constructed on a pre-constructed substrate that includes a flexible base layer having a conducting surface on one side thereof. The base layer is impermeable to oxygen and water. The substrate includes a plurality of wells defined by a barrier layer, each well having an electrode layer connected electrically with the conducting surface. A removable protective layer covering the wells protects the electrode layer from attack by oxygen and water prior to being utilized to make the display. In one embodiment, each of the wells also contains an electron transfer layer in contact with the electrode layer.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2000Date of Patent: June 24, 2003Assignee: Agilent Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Homer Antoniadis, Hoyle Curtis, Ronald L.

Publication number: 20030108663Abstract: A method of manufacturing a luminescent screen assembly for a color cathode-ray tube (CRT) is disclosed. The luminescent screen assembly is formed on an inner surface of a face plate panel of the CRT. The luminescent screen assembly includes an organic conductive (OC) layer overcoated with an organic photoconductive (OPC) layer. Three different color-emitting phosphors are sequentially deposited over portions of the OPC layer by uniformly charging to having a surface charge of one polarity and than selectively discharging desired areas thereof of the OPC layer. Appropriate color-emitting phosphors having the opposite polarity charge as that of the OPC layer are then deposited on the charged areas.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2001Publication date: June 12, 2003Inventors: George Milton Ehemann, Brian Thomas Collins
