Abstract: A process for fabricating matrix cathode ray tubes having phosphor receiving areas smaller than the areas exposed through an apertured mask includes the steps of coating the inner surface of a viewing panel with a first film of photo-sensitive resist material; exposing the first film through an apertured mask to provide insolubilized areas of a given size; depositing a second film of resist material onto said first film; removing the second film, soluble areas of the first film, and portions of the insolubilized areas of the first film to provide insolubilized areas of the first film of a size smaller than said given size; overcoating with an opaque film, removing the overcoated insolubilized areas of a size smaller than the given size; and depositing phosphors in place of the removed insolubilized areas of a size smaller than said given size.
