Abstract: The invention relates to a plasma screen having a structured black matrix (8) which is coated with a reflecting layer (9) on the side turned away from the viewer. Visible light incident from outside is absorbed by the black matrix (8) and light incident from inside is reflected by the reflecting layer (9). This enhances the LCP value of the whole plasma screen.

Abstract: The invention describes a plasma picture screen, in particular an AC plasma picture screen, with enhanced luminance. The front plate (1) comprises a glass plate (3) to which a dielectric layer (4), a UV-reflecting layer (8), and a protective layer (5) are applied. The UV-reflecting layer (8) shows a high reflection in the wavelength range of the plasma emission (>172 nm) and a high transmission in the visible wavelength range. The UV-reflecting layer (8) reflects UV light (12) emitted in the direction of the front plate (1) back towards the phosphors (10).

Abstract: The invention relates to a printing form for a rotary relief-printing method, in which the printing dots transferring the printing ink constitute a half-tone screen and are superimposed by a relief structure constituted by indentations. Such printing forms are used, for example in flexographic printing methods for printing glass plates, for example display screens having a luminescent material coating. In the manufacture of these screens, the printing ink must be applied homogeneously and the ink dots appearing in the printed image must have a uniform border area. According to the invention, the printing form is to this end implemented in such a way that the relief structures are arranged homogeneously relative to the printing dots and, if the printing dots are periodically spread across the printing form, these relief structures are superimposed on the printing dots preferably with the same period.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of coating luminescent powders with a coating which comprises silicon dioxide, which method is characterized in that in a first step luminescent particles are dispersed in a solution containing one or more metallo-organic compounds of silicon and, optionally, metallo-organic compounds of further elements in a hydrous solvent mixture having a pH-value of 1<pH 5, whereafter the metallo-organic compounds are hydrolysed by adding ammonia. A further aspect of the invention relates to a luminescent powder having a coating composed of silicon oxide and at least one oxide of a further element selected from the group formed by aluminum, barium, lead, boron, magnesium, titanium, zinc, zirconium, cobalt, copper and iron.
