Abstract: A cathode ray tube (1) comprises an electrically conductive layer (10) shielding against alternating electric fields produced by the deflection unit (5). The electrically conductive layer (10), including an electrically conductive polymer, is provided on at least a part of the funnel portion (6) of the tube (1). The electrically conductive polymer is preferably chosen from the group of polythiophenes. Good results were obtained with a layer comprising poly-3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene. Application of this compound prevents the occurrence of damage to the tube by arcing phenomena and thus reduces the necessity of an insulating film between the tube (1) and the deflection unit (5).

Abstract: Method for manufacturing a glass substrate with reduced glare wherein a suspension comprising sub-micron transparent oxide particles and a binder is coated on the substrate to form a film, whereafter the film is dried in such manner that in situ flocculation of the particles takes place. Said in-situ flocculation strongly reduces glare on the said surface.

Said filter comprises a conductive layer including metal particles and transparent particles, which layer is covered with a further transparent layer. The metal particles are responsible for the conduction which is preferably below 1000 ohm, and the transparent particles are responsible for the transmission of light. The assembly of the conductive layer and the transparent cover layer has a very low reflection, preferably below 1%.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electron beam tube for displaying color television pictures and to a method of manufacturing same, in which a graphite suspension substantially free from alkali metal ions and comprising colloidal silicon oxide is used for making contact between the color selection electrode and the phosphor pattern on the display window. This suspension enables a method of manufacture which is simpler than the conventional methods.

Abstract: Thermal radiation reflectivity between the upright edge of the faceplate and at least the edge portion of the shadow mask is adjusted to obtain a desired temperature stabilisation level which avoids electron beam spot misalignment, such as by having selected areas of the upright edge non-aluminized while the remainder of the upright edge together with the back of the screen have a layer of aluminium thereon. The size, shape and disposition of the selected areas are chosen to obtain an optimum ratio of aluminized and non-aluminized glass surface which will provide a desired radiation coefficient. Typically at least 35% of the upright edge remains aluminized. In addition, a material having a high radiation coefficient, such as a low melting point glass with a high lead content, may be selectively applied to a peripheral portion of the shadow mask and the adjoining mounting frame.

Abstract: Corrosion of an aluminium film on the display screen of a display tube as a result of an electro-chemical reaction between water and aluminium is substantially prevented by providing the aluminium with an aluminium phosphate layer at the area where it adjoins the carbon particles. This may be done by rinsing or spraying the carbon particles with an at most 2% by weight phosphoric acid solution in water prior to or after providing the aluminium film.

Abstract: An electrically conductive layer on a wall portion of the envelope of an electric discharge tube which comprises an electrically conductive material and at least 5% by weight of silicon dioxide as an adhesive, adheres readily, is hard and can be washed with water.Such a layer can be obtained from a suspension comprising an electrically conductive material and a binder in a solvent, in which the binder is a quaternary ammonium silicate or a solution of silicon dioxide (SiO.sub.2) in phosphoric acid (H.sub.3 PO.sub.4), in which the mol ratio SiO.sub.2 /P.sub.2 O.sub.5 is between 0.3:1 and 20:1.

Abstract: The invention relates to a color display tube having a shadow mask (12) positioned in front of a display screen (8). The shadow mask (12) is coated at least on the side remote from the display screen with a heavy metal layer (14) of selectively varied thickness. The heavy metal has an atomic number exceeding 70 and has a high electron reflection coefficient, thus minimizing energy absorbed by the shadow mask from electrons impinging on the mask. Because of the selectively-varied thickness of the layer, reflection of electrons intercepted by the mask toward the screen is minimized without sacrificing the reduction in thermal expansion of the mask afforded by such a reflective layer.

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a cathode ray tube an electrically conductive coating is provided on an inner surface of the tube. The boundary of said conductive coating in the neck of the tube is sharply defined by wetting the part of the surface of the tube not to be covered with a liquid to remove the conductive material from that part of the surface up to the boundary, and then rinsing the wetted surface to remove any remainder of the conductive material.
