  • Patent number: 5394055
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a color picture tube, which has a fluorescent film of a red emission component exhibiting a red emission with a deep color tone and is excellent in emission brightness. This object can effectively be accomplished by a color picture tube, having a face plate on which dot-shaped or stripe-shaped fluorescent films of blue, green and red emission components are respectively formed, characterized in that the fluorescent film of the red emission component is formed of a red emission composition comprising a mixture of an europium activated rare earth element oxide phosphor having an x value of 0.630 to 0.652 in CIE Chromaticity Representation and an europium activated rare earth element oxysulfide phosphor having an x value of 0.652 to 0.674 in CIE Chromaticity Representation, the red composition having an x of 0.647 to 0.662 in CIE Chromaticity Representation.

  • Patent number: 4814666
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electron-beam excited display tube useful in such a display apparatus as a color cathode-ray tube. In accordance with the present invention, the content of europium as a activator for a rare earth oxysulfide fluorescent material used as the red emission component is within the range of 0.05 to 2.0 mol %, thereby providing a very bright and low cost electron-beam excited display tube without any uneven color reproduction, even when the display screen is seen from very close quarters.
