  • Method of fabricating an ultra-high resolution three-color screen
    Patent number: 5582703
    Abstract: Phosphor color screens with triad pitches of 150 .mu.m and less are fabricated by a combination of modified microelectronic processing techniques and electrophoretic coating of the phosphors and black screen. Indeed, triad pitches based on 15 .mu.m color line width and 5 .mu.m black matrix between colors are achievable.

  • Liquid-crystal light valve in combination with a cathode ray tube containing a far-red emitting phosphor
    Patent number: 5162930
    Abstract: A far-red emitting phosphor for cathode ray tubes used in liquid crystal light valves comprises lithium aluminum (or gallium) oxide, activated with iron or chromium. Increasing the activator concentration from 0.005 mole (commercially available) to about 0.015 to 0.05 mole increases the phosphor efficiency by about 50% and reduces the decay time from 30 msec (for the commerically available material) to 19 msec. Reducing the particle size to an average of 4 .mu.m or less provides the requisite high resolution for the CRT application.

  • Liquid crystal light valve in combination with a cathode ray tube containing a far-red emitting double-activated yttrium aluminum garnet phosphor
    Patent number: 5140449
    Abstract: A doubly activated yttriuim aluminum garnet (YAG) phosphor, activated with both europium and chromium, is provided. The concentration of Eu ranges from about 1 to 5 at %, while the concentration of Cr ranges from about 0.1 to 1 at %. The YAG:Eu,Cr phosphor has a line spectrum which more closely matches the spectral sensitivity of amorphous silicon liquid crystal light valves thereby, providing more efficient use of the available energy.
