Abstract: A cathode ray tube which comprises a front panel coated with a nonglare film having a multi-layered structure. The multi-layered structure comprises at least a visible light absorbing layer containing a black dye, and an antistatic layer containing an inorganic metal compound as a conductive agent.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing the cathode ray tube comprises, cleaning the front panel, heating for drying the front panel, forming an visible light absorbing layer on the front panel by spraying a first ethyl silicate solution, forming the antistatic layer on the front panel by spraying a second ethyl solution, and baking the front panel to harden the nonglare film.

Abstract: A coating device for coating a cathode-ray tube with a layer has a booth for accommodating a cathode-ray tube to be coated. The booth houses a coating robot with a spray nozzle for spraying a coating solution onto the cathode-ray tube in the booth to coat a layer on the cathode-ray tube. The inner wall surfaces of the booth are lined with a water-containing member which is supplied with water from a water supply pipe connected to the booth. An air-conditioning unit is mounted on the booth for controlling the temperature and humidity in the booth. The cathode-ray tube is introduced into the booth from a conveyor through an opening defined in a wall of the booth and fitted with a selectively closable door.
