Patent number: 5216321Abstract: Disclosed is a shadow-mask type color cathode-ray tube comprising a faceplate having a curved inner surface which prevents degrouping and a substantially flat outer surface. In this color cathode-ray tube, the resolution is not deteriorated in the peripheral portion and an inespensive flat material is usable as a glass plate provided with a reflection reducing coating or a touch panel attached to the outer surface of the faceplate. Since a shadow mask supported with a tension applied thereto is usable, the positional deviation of the apertures due to the expansion of the shadow mask during operation is prevented.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 1989Date of Patent: June 1, 1993Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takao Kawamura, Masaharu Kumada, Hideo Tanabe, Masaki Shinoda

Patent number: 5200667Abstract: A color cathode ray tube has a coating film formed over an outer surface of a face plate. The coating film prevents a charge-up phenomenon of the face plate and also has a function for improving a contrast performance of the color cathode ray tube. The coating film is composed of a polymer of silicon alkoxide, translucent conductive particles and plural types of dyes or pigments. The absorption peak of the main absorption band of the coating film is set in the range between the main spectrum wavelength of 570 nm of the green luminescence and the main spectrum wavelength of 610 nm of the red luminescence of the color cathode ray tube. The absorption peak of the sub absorption band of the coating film is in at least one of a first range between a wavelength of 380 nm and a wavelength of 420 nm and a second range between a wavelength of 470 nm and a wavelength of 510 nm.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 1991Date of Patent: April 6, 1993Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yasuo Iwasaki, Hiroshi Okuda

Patent number: 5180947Abstract: A shielded CRT (18) display includes a secondary shielding enclosure (14) for enclosing the CRT (18) and for inhibiting electromagnetic emissions therefrom. A primary shielded enclosure (12) internal to the secondary shielding enclosure (14) has a portion coaxial (16) with the neck portion (22) of the CRT (18) for also inhibiting electromagnetic emissions from the CRT (18). The CRT (18) includes an internal conductive layer comprised of an internal aquadag, wire mask, and phosphor coating. This internal conductive layer is grounded via a reactive path to ground to suppress electromagnetic emissions. This double shielding suppression technique eliminates the need for external shielding of the face portion of the CRT (18).Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 1991Date of Patent: January 19, 1993Assignee: Alliant Techsystems Inc.Inventor: Terrence M.

Patent number: 5173636Abstract: A panel of a metal backed color cathode ray tube and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed which are characterized in that the height of the graphite remaining on the skirt is higher than or same as the metal deposition height of the deposited metal layer, and that a shielding plate having a height higher than or same as the cutting height of the graphite is used on a deposition dolly for forming the deposited metal layer. According to the present invention, the deposited metal layer is neither floated nor detached due to the combustion of the organic materials used in forming the luminescent layer or the intermediate layers such as the filming layer, and therefore, the defect rate due to the blocking of the holes of the shadow mask is markedly reduced, thereby making it possible to save labor and materials in producing the product, and concomitantly upgrading the quality of the metal backed color cathode ray tube.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 1989Date of Patent: December 22, 1992Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Myeong S.
