  • Patent number: 5843601
    Abstract: Disclosed are a shadow mask, a cathode ray tube having the above shadow mask and a method for manufacturing a screen using the shadow mask. The shadow mask can concentrate electron beams and thereby largely increase luminance even with low electric power without deteriorating the purity of colors. The shadow mask has a first and a second thin metal plates. A first and a second voltages are applied to the first and the second thin metal plates and concentrate the electron beams passing through the first and the second electron beam passing holes respectively formed in the metal plates. The screen is manufactured with a controlled size of a developed area by controlling time using the shadow mask and an electrophotographical process.

  • Patent number: 5840450
    Abstract: The black matrix of the faceplate panel is deposited by a wet-layer photoconductive manner. An organic conductive layer is initially deposited on the faceplate panel, on which an organic photoconductive material is formed to form an organic photoconductive layer. The photoconductive layer is charged to positive or negative potential and a selective area of the organic photoconductive layer is exposed to light radiated from an exposure device, such that the potential can be left on the unexposed area, where the black matrix will be deposited, of the organic photoconductive layer. Then, As novel steps, deposition of the conductive black matrix is achieved according to the following steps. First, a conductive black matrix material is charged having the opposite potential to that left on the unexposed area of the organic photoconductive layer.

  • Patent number: 5750295
    Abstract: A light fixing layer is deposited on the panel during the screening process of a panel. The light fixing layer can be softened when it is subjected to light so as to allow the phosphor layers to be fixed on the panel. That is, the light fixing layer shows adhesive characteristics when subjected to light. Therefore, after developing all phosphor layers on the panel, when the light is radiated to the light fixing layer, the light fixing layer is softened, thereby fixing the phosphor layers.

    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: 5348827
    Abstract: A plate material for a shadow mask, consisting essentially of iron or of iron and nickel and having a surface configuration which stabilizes the adhesion between the plate material and a photoresist and improves the adhesion between the plate material and a negative pattern in the process of producing a shadow mask, thereby enabling improvements in the quality and the productivity, and which causes no annealing adhesion in the shadow mask softening annealing step in the process of producing a color picture tube. The plate material has a surface roughness Ra and a surface roughness projection condition Rsk, which are defined as follows:Ra: from 0.3 to 0.8.mu.mRsk: +0.1 or morewhere Ra is the surface roughness specified in JIS B 0601, and Rsk is a value representative of the relativity of an amplitude distribution curve to a mean line, i.e.

  • Patent number: 5340674
    Abstract: A luminescent screen assembly for a CRT is made by first coating the interior surface of a faceplate panel with a photoconductive layer which overlies a conductive layer. A multiplicity of red-, green- and blue-emitting phosphor screen elements are then deposited in color groups, in a cyclic order, onto the interior surface of the panel. A negative charge is then established on the photoconductive layer. The charge is weakened in the areas where the photoconductive layer underlies the phosphor screen elements, but unaffected in the open areas separating the phosphor screen elements. The charged, open areas of the photoconductive layer are discharged by flood illumination and reversal developed by depositing thereon particles of light-absorptive matrix material having a triboelectric charge of the same polarity as the charge established on the photoconductive layer. The novel process provides a high opacity matrix.

  • 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: 5338629
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for manufacturing photostencils used in screening the faceplates of color cathode ray tubes. The photostencils are produced as progeny from a parent stencil photo plotted according to the dictates of a proximity photoprinting process in conjunction with the electron optical characteristics of the operational CRT. A rectangular beam is used for radiating light through the pattern of features on the parent stencil onto the photoresist of the progeny stencil. As a result, the features of the progeny stencil differ in size or shape or both, from those of the parent stencil.

    Abstract: According to this invention, there is provided an improved method of manufacturing a shadow mask obtained by independently etching both the surfaces of a metal substrate. After one surface is etched to form a first opening, an etching resistive agent composition containing an acrylic resin, casein, and a leveling agent is applied to the obtained opening to form an etching resistive layer. Subsequently, the other surface is etched to form a second opening in the other surface, and then the etching resistive layer is removed to cause the first and second openings to communicate with each other.

  • Patent number: 5324602
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a cathode ray tube is described. The method comprises the steps of selectively forming a resist layer corresponding to a pattern of a fluorescent material on an inner surface of the panel of a cathode ray tube, and applying a slurry of a light-absorbing material on the entire inner surface of the panel including the resist layer to form a light-absorbing layer. An inorganic pigment slurry is applied over the entire inner surface of the panel to form an inorganic pigment layer on the light-absorbing layer and then subjected to reverse development to selectively remove the resist layer along with the light-absorbing layer and the white pigment layer, thereby forming a matrix pattern. Finally, a fluorescent material is applied to individual removed portions of the matrix pattern to form a fluorescent pattern. Monochromatic or color cathode ray tubes are obtained with an improved luminance and a colorimetric purity by a simple procedure.
