  • Publication number: 20050181125
    Abstract: This invention relates to coated particles used as phosphor particles for a phosphor screen of a display and a coating method for such particles. In the coating method of the present invention, first particles having a mean particle diameter of 3 to 10 ?m are fluidized, and slurry drops obtained by suspending second particles having a mean particle diameter of 5 to 500 nm are generated from a spray nozzle or the like. Then, the fluidized first particles and the slurry drops are collided with each other, and thereby the second particles are coated on the surfaces of the first particles. Thereby, this invention is able to present coated particles wherein each surface of the first particles is uniformly coated with the second particles that are more microscopic than the first particles.

  • Publication number: 20040219309
    Abstract: According to the present invention, in a thermosensitive transfer film F in which at least a fluorescent substance layer 3 and an adhesive agent layer 4 are deposited onto a base film 1, this adhesive agent layer 4 is produced by mixing at least a pigment corresponding to a color of the fluorescent substance layer 3, a thermosensitive agent and a photosensitizer. Also, a display device manufacturing method comprises the steps of forming patterning by exposure and development and using the adhesive agent layer 4 as a color filter layer after the fluorescent substance layer 3 and the adhesive layer 4 have been transferred onto the inner surface of the display panel from this thermosensitive transfer film F. Thus, in the thermosensitive transfer film in which layers are formed by the transfer process, work efficiency of the transfer process can be improved, and the sharp pattern can be formed.

  • Publication number: 20040156981
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fluorescent screen forming method, a fluorescent screen forming apparatus and a cathode-ray tube. In the fluorescent screen forming method according to the present invention, a transfer roller lowers a transfer sheet to somewhere above the inner surface of the panel and the transfer roller moves up to the end edge positions of the inner surface of the panel, whereafter the transfer roller moves downwards onto the end edges of the inner surface of the panel in unison with the transfer film to start pressing the transfer film. Therefore, the transfer roller can reach the end edges of the panel, and hence component layers of a fluorescent screen can be transferred up to the end edges of the inner surface of the panel. A fluorescent screen forming apparatus according to the present invention includes a transfer film supply means, a transfer roller, and a control means, wherein operations of the above-mentioned transfer method are executed.

  • Patent number: 6559575
    Abstract: A cathode ray tube and a color selecting member, which can be manufactured without defects by using an existing projection aligner of a simple structure and can always produce a picture of high quality, in which phosphor layer has a pattern in stripes in the lateral direction of a screen, or in the horizontal direction and a color selecting member has slits elongated in the longitudinal direction of the screen, or in the horizontal scan line direction. Even in case of the thermal expansion of the color selecting member or a considerable longitudinal deviation between the exposure position at the time of manufacture and the position where an electron beam strikes in actual use, an electron beam can freely pass through the slits. Therefore, the accuracy of irradiation of the phosphor layer with the electron beam is not adversely influenced.
