Abstract: The present invention provides an LED device comprising a phosphor-converting substrate that converts primary light emitted by the LED, which is blue light, into one or more other wavelengths of light, which then combine with unconverted primary light to produce white light. The substrate is a single crystal phosphor having desired luminescent properties. The single crystal phosphor has the necessary lattice structure to promote single crystalline growth of the light-emitting structure of the LED device. Moreover, the thermo-mechanical properties of the substrate are such that the introduction of excessive strain or cracks in the epitaxial films of the LED device is prevented. The characteristics of the substrate, i.e., the dopant concentration and thickness, are capable of being precisely controlled and tested before the LED device is fabricated so that the fraction of primary light that passes through the substrate without being converted is predictable and controllable.

Abstract: In order to permit reliable light pen interaction with a black matrix shadow mask CRT, the conventional black carbon matrix is replaced by an IR phosphor. This provides a component of IR radiation irrespective of the particular color of the visible display at any given point, and such component can be detected by conventional silicon photodetector light pens. Preferably the particle size of the IR phosphor is substantially less than that of the primary color phosphors so as to largely retain both the packing density of the original black matrix and the edge definition at the IR phosphor/primary color phosphor boundaries. The IR phosphor particles are also pigmented with black graphite to retain the light-absorbing qualities of the original black matrix.

The apertures in the shadow mask form beam landing areas on the phosphor elements when the electrons pass through the apertures. This invention is a system for increasing color purity tolerance and leaving tolerance in at least a portion of a predetermined sector of the phosphor screen and shadow mask assembly to increase tolerance to radial registration errors between the electron beam landing areas and the phosphor elements due to shadow mask doming during operation of the tube.

Abstract: A color cathode ray tube screen structure, having means for enhancing the absorption of ambient light and providing improvement in the contrast of the image display, is comprised of three superimposed substantially continuous window-defining layers of optical filter materials. The primary, secondary and tertiary filter layers have discretely disposed window areas formed therein to expose a pattern of filter areas representing the respective filter materials. The filter windows are of a shaping similar to that of the apertures in a spatially related pattern mask member. Each window exhibits a uniform periphery free of indentations, being so defined by a uniform opaque interstitial encompassment homogeneously made up of the three distinct layers of filter materials. Disposed over the filter windows is a patterned screen of cathodoluminescent phosphor elements, which upon electron excitation produces color-emissions that are colormetrically related to the respective filter windows therebeneath.

Abstract: An image screen structure for a monochrome or a color cathode-ray tube, in which the phosphor screen is interposed between a composite mesh and the conventional reflective metal backing layer. The composite mesh comprises a reflective grille and a non-reflective grille in registration with the reflective grille. The reflective grille faces the phosphor screen so that light generated by phosphor excitation behind the non-reflective grille finds egress by multiple reflections between the reflective grille and the metal backing layer. In a color cathode-ray tube such as a tri-color shadow-mask television picture tube, the non-reflective and reflective grilles may be non-coherent with the mosaic phosphor screen, thus avoiding the necessity of complicated and costly processing which has been employed in the manufacture of black-surround color picture tubes. A substantial improvement in brightness/contrast performance is obtained as compared with the best prior art monochrome and color cathode-ray tubes.
