Mutsuo Masuda has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 5959399
    Abstract: After adhesive resin is applied to a surface of a flat panel, a front panel is glued thereto. One side of the front panel is contacted to the adhesive resin layer with the front panel tilted toward the surface of the flat panel. Then, the front panel is moved slowly to be close and parallel to the front panel. Finally, the front panel is pressed to the surface of the flat panel. Afterward, the adhesive resin is hardened. It is preferable that the thickness of the adhesive resin applied to the surface of the flat panel is decreasing from the side to which the side of the front panel is contacted, to the opposite side. By the above-mentioned method, an image display apparatus having multilayer structure comprising of a flat panel for displaying image, an adhesive resin layer and a front panel can be manufactured efficiently.

  • Patent number: 4758449
    Abstract: Making method for a phosphor layer of a small diameter cathode ray tube comprises application of a centrifugal force of above 100G in a direction parallel to the axis of a glass bulb toward its bottom panel to become a face plate, thereby forcedly making sedimentation of phosphor powder onto the inner surface of the bottom panel, and thus, by adoptation of the centrifugal force, a phosphor layer of very fine and dense configuration and uniform thickness is obtainable even using such small medium grain size of phosphor powder of under 4 .mu.m.

  • Patent number: 4424467
    Abstract: A cathode-ray tube has a phosphor screen which is made by using a mixture of a long persistent phosphor and a short persistent phosphor. A light emission from the short persistent phosphor has a spike figure, so that a light pen can have sufficient sensitivity therefor, and a light emission from the long persistent phosphor is continuous within the one cycle period of the frame frequency, so that flicker is not noticeable.
