  • Patent number: 8400375
    Abstract: A processing method of a flat panel display apparatus in which a cathode panel having electron emitting regions and an anode panel having phosphor regions and an anode electrode are joined is provided. A predetermined voltage is applied to each electron emitting region, thereby allowing electrons to be emitted therefrom. In a predetermined row, initial electron emitting states in the electron emitting regions are measured. After that, a voltage higher than that of the electron emitting region in a row showing the low initial electron emitting state is applied to the electron emitting region in the row showing the high initial electron emitting state for a predetermined time, thereby performing aging.

  • Publication number: 20030025467
    Abstract: A display apparatus according to the present invention includes an electron beam landing pattern correction coil disposed at the rear side of a deflection yoke provided on a cathode-ray tube and a correction current generating device for generating a correction current corresponding to an electron beam landing pattern and supplying the current to this electron beam landing pattern correction coil. This correction current is obtained by selectively combining a plurality of waveform current components (e.g., DC current component, a saw-tooth wave component, a parabolic waveform component, a sine waveform component, etc.) which can respectively correct a plurality of fundamental electron beam landing patterns in response to a difference in beam-landing position. Thus, after the display apparatus has been manufactured, the difference in beam-landing position of the manufactured display apparatus can be corrected to the details on the whole screen.
