    Abstract: Items of material are patterned on a substrate by forming a layer of photoresist on the substrate and a layer of metal on the photoresist. The photoresist is patterned to define an opening exposing a portion of the substrate and the metal is patterned to define an aperture smaller than the opening so as to divide the exposed surface of the substrate into shadow areas and a non-shadow area. A first material system is evaporated generally perpendicular to the aperture to form a first organic light emitting diode on the surface of the substrate in the non-shadow area and second and third material systems are evaporated at angles to the aperture to form second and third organic light emitting diodes in the shadow areas. Passivation material is evaporated perpendicularly onto the first diode and at the angle onto the second diode.

    Abstract: For use in a self-emitting color display device such as a cathode ray tube (CRT) having a display screen with a phosphor coating on its inner surface, a surface coating disposed on the display screen's outer surface affords improved color purity, or contrast, by reducing overlap in the color spectrum between two adjacent primary colors, i.e., between red and green and/or between green and blue. An organic dye is added to either an inner antistatic layer or an outer antireflective layer of an antireflective/antistatic outer coating on the display screen, where both of the aforementioned layers contain silane. The dye functions as a color filter absorbing only light within the frequency range between adjacent primary colors, such as between the red and green color phosphors, i.e., in the range of 460-500 nm, and/or between the green and blue color phosphors, i.e., in the range of 560-600 nm.

The OPC layer is exposed to IR radiation to rapidly increase the temperature of the OPC layer to a curing temperature, greater than the preheat temperature, to remove some of the volatilizable constituents from the OPC layer, without substantially increasing the temperature of the panel.

  • Patent number: 5366758
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method of coating an inner surface of a funnel of a cathode ray tube with lining graphite acting as an inner conductive film between a screen portion and a high voltage side, i.e., an electron gun of the cathode ray tube. According to the method, the lining graphite is coated on the entire inner surface of the funnel with the exception of only an area of the portion of the surface, on which a getter or a frittable getter is located.

  • Patent number: 5352478
    Abstract: A plasma display panel comprises a front plate disposed on the side of a viewer, a rear plate disposed in parallel and opposing the front plate, and cell barriers arranged between the front and rear plates of matrix shape or linear shape. The cell barrier is formed of a material including a phosphor. The cell barriers are formed by printing multiple times a phosphor paste containing glass frit in an overlapped manner by a screen printing method. The cell barrier is formed in another method in which a positive pattern of cell barriers are formed on the front or rear plate by using photo resist, a slurry containing a phosphor fills in portions except for the pattern of the photo resist, and the photo resist is thereafter removed to thereby form cell barriers. In the case of the cell barrier of a color display PDP, the cell barrier may be composed of a material containing phosphor of different colors each with a width corresponding to a one half width of the cell barrier.

  • Patent number: 5340673
    Abstract: A method of forming a phosphor screen in which a color filter layer is formed between a phosphor layer and an inner surface of a panel having a slurry in which a fine particle pigment and transparent particles are dispersed into a photosensitive liquid coated on the inner surface of the panel. Then, the color filter layer is formed by exposure and development. When the color filter layer that constitutes one portion of a phosphor screen of a color cathode ray tube is formed in this manner, an adhesive force with which the color filter layer is bonded onto the panel can be increased and a transmittance of the color filter layer can be improved.

  • Patent number: 5326588
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a screen of a color cathode ray tube, comprising the steps of: (a) coating an adhesion strengthening layer over the inner surfaces of a panel and a panel skirt; (b) coating black matrix stripes and fluorescent stripes on the adhesion strengthening layer in the panel; (c) coating a pyrolysis mitigating layer on said adhesion strengthening layer within the panel skirt; (d) coating an organic film on the black matrix and fluorescent stripes; and (e) coating a thin metal film on the resultant structure. The pyrolysis of the poly vinyl alcohol is delayed during baking by the acryl emulsion contained in the pyrolysis mitigating layer. This process prevents swelling up and peeling off of the thin metal film during the baking step, and reduces inferior products that result from the peeling off of pieces of the metal layer.

  • Patent number: 5316785
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of and apparatus for forming a coating film on an inner surface of a panel of a cathode ray tube. In this case, slurries are injected into the panel, the panel is rotated on its own axis so as to uniformly coat the slurries on the panel and a recovering hood is moved in an opposing relation to the panel in synchronism with the revolution of the panel to thereby recover the slurries. Therefore, particularly when the slurries are recovered, the slurries can be prevented from being scattered, thereby avoiding the surroundings from being splattered.

  • Patent number: 5256463
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a phosphor screen used in a color CRT takes the steps of multilayering a red phosphor layer, a green phosphor layer, a blue phosphor layer, and a non-luminescent layer being laid between the adjacent color phosphor layer, cutting the multilayered block into filmy pieces toward the thickness, adhering or pressurizing the filmy cut pieces on a glass plate for front panel of the color CRT, and burning the cut pieces. This method makes it possible to efficiently manufacture a high-definition and high-resolution color phosphor screen and form fine RGB stripes. This method, thus, may apply to a small-sized CRT about which the realization of the high-definition and high-resolution color phosphor screen has been difficult.
