  • Publication number: 20020175622
    Abstract: A glass substrate containing Na or K and being fabricated by a floating method has a surface coated with a metal oxide layer having a thermal expansion coefficient close to that of the glass substrate. Ag electrodes are provided on the metal oxide layer. This provides a plasma display panel with high image quality since the panel is prevented from migration of Ag between electrodes, thus having the glass substrate prevented from being tinted yellow. As a result, the plasma display panel at high quality can be implemented using the glass substrate.

  • Patent number: 6005338
    Abstract: In order to provide a method of producing a cathode ray tube in a manner which well matches with a usual technique of producing a cathode ray tube by forming a spiral high-resistor on an inner face of a glass tube, in an electron gun of which a main focusing lens is configured by the spiral high-resistor, the step of fritting seal rings to both ends of the glass tube in which a hole is opened in the center portion; the step of applying a high-resistor paste to the glass tube, drying the paste, and then forming a spiral structure in the high-resistor film; the step of firing at 420 to 550 deg. C.; and the step of combining other electron gun parts to form the electron gun are included, and the spiral high-resistor is formed by a high-resistor paste in which ruthenium oxide is added to a glass material having a softening point that is lower than the annealing point of the glass tube.
