  • Publication number: 20040212290
    Abstract: An oxide composite particle of the present invention is composed of at least one fine gold particle contained in a matrix of an oxide particle or at least one fine gold particle supported fixedly on the surface of an oxide particle, and absorbs a visible light having a specific wavelength. A phosphor of the invention has a thin film which is composed of such oxide composite particles on the surface of a phosphor particle of red or the like. The phosphor can be obtained by mixing phosphor particles into a dispersion of gold colloid/oxide composite particles, agitating the resultant mixture, and taking out the precipitated phosphor particles, followed by drying. Further, in a color filter of the invention, a filter layer of at least one color formed on an inner surface of a panel is a thin film composed of the above-described oxide composite particles.

  • Patent number: 6806636
    Abstract: A CRT display including a display panel having a substantially flat outside surface, and an inside surface with a substantially fixed curvature includes a film coating with a non-uniform transmissivity. The film coating's transmissivity is varied, as a function of position, to compensate for variations in transmissivity exhibited by the display panel, thus resulting in substantially uniform image brightness across the surface of the CRT.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a colour picture tube and to a manufacturing method for a colour picture tube. The colour picture tube includes a shadow mask which is secured to a mask frame. In order to improve the shielding effect, a shielding plate, which shields external magnetic fields, is secured to at least one longitudinal bar of the mask frame. By means of such a shielding plate, the picture quality of a colour picture tube can be improved and the manufacturing efforts can be simplified in comparison with conventional colour picture tubes.

  • Patent number: 6793729
    Abstract: A conductive material for use in interior coating of a cathode ray tube (CRT), which includes an aqueous dispersion medium containing potassium silicate and a dispersing agent; and graphite particles. The potassium silicate of the aqueous dispersion medium has a silicon dioxide (SiO2) to potassium oxide (K2O) mole ratio in the range of 4.5:1 to 6:1, and is prepared by adding hydrosilica gel to a potassium silicate aqueous solution having a SiO2 to K2O mole ratio less than 4.5:1. When the conductive material, which uses potassium silicate dispersed in an aqueous dispersion medium with a SiO2:K2O mole ratio in the range of 4.5:1 to 6:1, as a binder, is applied to form a conductive layer on the funnel of a CRT, adhesiveness of the conductive layer markedly increases. Use of the potassium silicate as a binder decreases the amount of gas released during a hot-evacuation process, and thus shortens evacuation time.
