Publication number: 20070034324Abstract: A method for forming a metal back-attached phosphor screen comprises forming a phosphor layer on an inner surface of a face plate, transferring a metal film, and heating and pressing the metal film transferred onto the phosphor layer by a press roller. The transferring includes disposing a transfer film having at least a base film, a metal film and an adhesive-agent layer on the phosphor layer so that the metal film contacts the phosphor layer via an adhesive agent, heating and pressing by a transfer roller to let the metal film adhere thereto, and peeling the base film Both the temperatures of the pressing sections of the transfer roller and press roller are 150 to 240° C. and both the pressing rates are 1.0 to 6.0 meter/minute. A metal back-attached phosphor screen exhibiting an excellent adhesiveness between the phosphor layer and a metal back layer and a superior withstand voltage characteristic can be formed with a good process yield.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2004Publication date: February 15, 2007Inventors: Masayuki Yoshii, Takeo Ito, Hajime Tanaka, Yasinori Gamo, Masaki Inamura, Tomoko Nakazawa

Patent number: 7157843Abstract: A transfer film comprising a base film (11), a parting-agent layer (12), a protective film (13), and a metal film (14), the latter three being formed on the base film (11) in order, wherein the protective film (13) contains a softening agent such as a phosphate, an aliphatic monobasic acid ester, an aliphatic dibasic acid ester, or a dihydric alcohol ester. By using such a transfer film, a metal back layer is formed. Since the transfer layer of the transfer film has a surface resistivity of as high as 102–108 ?/, the surface resistivity of the formed metal back layer is high, and discharge is suppressed.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2004Date of Patent: January 2, 2007Assignees: Kabushiki Kaisha Toshiba, Nikka Techno, Inc., Fuji Pigment Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takeo Ito, Hajime Tanaka, Tomoko Nakazawa, Taichiro Nakayama, Takaaki Shinohara, Yoichiro Nakayama, Kazuo Sakai
