  • Patent number: 6927378
    Abstract: A monitoring apparatus and method for measuring light output gradient of a faceplate panel includes a top plate having a center detector and a plurality of corner detectors mounted along a major surface thereof. Lenses are optically coupled to a respective detector, and radiometers are electrically coupled to a respective detector. A bottom plate spaced apart from the top plate has a plurality of light outputs mounted along a major surface thereof and positioned to be opposite each detector. A light source is optically coupled to each light output through a splitter. A computer is electrically coupled to the light source for receiving feedback therefrom and for controlling the light source. The computer is also electrically coupled to each radiometer for recording data therefrom. During monitoring, a faceplate panel having a matrix applied thereto is accurately positioned between the top and bottom plates such that the center detector is located approximately above the center of the faceplate panel.

  • Patent number: 6893309
    Abstract: A seamless magnetic sheath is mounted on a funnel of a cathode ray tube, behind the deflection windings of a deflection yoke. Various combinations of magnetic poles are formed in the sheath magnetic ferrite material for varying the beam landing location of the screen of a cathode ray tube. The seamless magnetic sheath is formed by an extrusion or a molding fabrication process.

  • Patent number: 5821842
    Abstract: A liner of a deflection yoke is provided with non-threaded sleeves. A slide pin is inserted into the sleeve until a head portion of the pin comes in contact with a funnel of a cathode ray tube on which the yoke is mounted. After adjustment, a wedge is inserted into a hollow part of the pin for expanding radially the wall of the pin. Thereby, the pin is locked within the sleeve. In this way, the position of the yoke relative to the tube is secured.

  • Patent number: 5744270
    Abstract: The novel method for producing a coded marking on a CRT faceplate panel having an exterior and an interior surface with a viewing area surrounded by a periphery and having a luminescent screen with a plurality of different light-emitting phosphors separated by light-absorbing material includes the steps of: depositing a suitable photoresist on the interior surface of the panel to form a layer that extends across the viewing area and onto the periphery; illuminating areas of the photoresist on both the viewing area and the periphery with actinic radiation to selectively change the solubility of the photoresist; developing the photoresist to remove the more soluble areas, thereby exposing underlying portions of the interior surface of the panel while leaving retained areas of less soluble photoresist. The retained areas of the photoresist and the exposed portions of the interior surface of the panel are then overcoated with a light-absorbing material which is dried to form a coating.
