  • Patent number: 5853928
    Abstract: A method for electrophotographically forming a Braun tube's fluorescent layer coats conductive and photoconductive layers on the internal surface of a Braun tube's panel. The photoconductive layer is formed of a water soluble photoconductive liquid including a water soluble binder, allowing a part of the photoconductive layer to be selectively exposed to a visible ray. The photoresist of the above photoconductive liquid is substituted with dye, which can be processed through general exposure and solvent, allowing the fluorescent layer to be formed on a Braun tube under the same conditions as a typical Braun tube production process without darkroom processing.

An organic conductive layer is initially deposited on the faceplate panel, on which an organic photoconductive material is formed to form an organic photoconductive layer. The photoconductive layer is charged to positive or negative potential and a selective area of the organic photoconductive layer is exposed to light radiated from an exposure device, such that the potential can be left on the unexposed area, where the black matrix will be deposited, of the organic photoconductive layer. Then, As novel steps, deposition of the conductive black matrix is achieved according to the following steps. First, a conductive black matrix material is charged having the opposite potential to that left on the unexposed area of the organic photoconductive layer.

A shutter adjacent to the panel support surface separates the faceplate panel from the chamber. A reservoir for holding a solvent is within the chamber and at least one piezoelectric transducer communicates with the reservoir for atomizing the solvent to create a fog. A fan within the chamber distributes the fog onto the polymer powder. A method for fusing the polymer powder onto the faceplate panel also is described.

  • Patent number: 5229234
    Abstract: In an electrophotographic process for manufacturing a luminescent screen assembly on an interior surface of a faceplate panel of a CRT, the panel is first coated with a conductive layer and then overcoated with a photoconductive layer. A substantially uniform charge is established on the photoconductive layer. Selected areas of the photoconductive layer are exposed to actinic radiation, through a shadow mask, to affect the charge on the layer. The unexposed areas of the photoconductive layer are developed with triboelectrically-charged, dry-powdered, light-absorptive screen structure material. The photoconductive layer is reexposed to further discharge those open areas free of the light absorptive material while retaining the charge on those areas having light absorptive matrix material thereon. The reexposure increases the voltage contrast between the exposed and the unexposed areas of the photoconductive layer.

  • Patent number: 5151337
    Abstract: The method of electrophotographically manufacturing a luminescent screen on a substrate of a color CRT, according to the present invention, includes the steps of forming a photoreceptor by sequentially coating the substrate to form a conductive layer and an overcoating of a photoconductive layer, establishing an electrostatic charge on the photoconductive layer, and exposing selected areas of the photoconductive layer to visible light to affect the charge thereon. Then the photoconductive layer is developed by the application of suitable triboelectrically charged, dry-powdered screen structure materials. The improved process provides at least one wear-resistant, conductive contact patch on a peripheral portion of a surface of the substrate. The contact patch has a first portion which underlies at least one of the layers of the photoreceptor and is in electrical contact with the conductive layer, and a second portion which extends from the photoreceptor.

  • Patent number: 5108858
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for making a viewing screen structure for a cathode-ray tube. The method includes the steps of coating a support surface with a film of a polymeric material, a suitable dichromate and a sensitizer therefor which is a chromium ion migration enhancer having a reduced sensitivity to thermal and dark hardening; exposing the film to an image in the form of radiant energy until the solubility of the irradiated regions thereof is selectively altered, thereby producing in the film regions of greater solubility and regions of lesser solubility; removing those regions of the film with greater solubility to bare portions of the underlying support surface while retaining those regions of the film with lesser solubility. The bare portions of the support surface and the retained film regions are overcoated with a composition of light-absorbing material which is adherent to the support surface.
