Abstract: A monochromatic picture tube whose faceplate has a transmittance of 17 to 23% is provided. In order to obtain the same transmittance as described above, black di-iron trioxide is coated on phosphor grains to form a phosphor screen on the faceplate.

Abstract: An auxiliary grid which is formed with one or more elongated slits through which pass electron beams is disposed in a prefocusing system in a cathode-ray tube, and a dynamic voltage which varies in level with increase in horizontal deflection angle is applied to the auxiliary grid so that axial asymmetry of the prefocusing system can be increased with increase in the horizontal deflection angle. As a consequence, the beam spot can be maintained substantially in the form of a true circle not only at the center of the screen but also at the portions adjacent to the peripheries thereof. Thus, the resolution at the portions adjacent to the peripheries of the screen can be improved and consequently high-quality images can be represented over the whole surface of the screen.

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.

Abstract: The invention discloses a method and apparatus for manufacture of color television picture tubes of the type having a shadow mask with a multiplicity of slots, and more particularly for selectively exposing a light sensitive film uniformly coated over the inner surface of a face-panel in order to form the temporary dots or strips. The exposure light source is rotated in the form of a ring while it is displaced relative to the light sensitive film in the longitudinal direction of the slots in a shadow mask, whereby the spacing in the longitudinal direction between the adjacent exposed areas or light images projected may be advantageously reduced without reducing the spacing in the longitudinal direction between the adjacent slots in the shadow mask; that is, the width of the bridge therebetween, so that the color television picture tubes with excellent brightness and contrast characteristics may be provided without adversely affecting the mechanical strength of the shadow mask.

Abstract: In a color picture tube having a phosphor screen with three kinds, i.e., red, blue and green phosphor dots or phosphor strips, the red phosphor dots or strips are formed by employing europium-activated yttrium oxide (Y.sub.2 O.sub.3 :Eu) phosphor powder, each particle of which powder is coated with thin layer of europium-activated oxysulfide (Y.sub.2 O.sub.2 S:Eu) phosphor. By means of such thin coating of the oxysulfide phosphor, the conventional adverse active characteristic of Y.sub.2 O.sub.3 :Eu against photo-hardening agent in the phosphor slurry used in forming phosphor screen is eliminated, thereby increasing the uniformity of the red light emission and decreasing the U-V light exposure time in the screen forming process.
