Abstract:
For use on an outer surface of a glass faceplate of a self-emitting display device, wherein the glass faceplate includes a phosphor coating on an inner surface thereof, and wherein the phosphor coating is responsive to energetic electrons incident thereon for providing light for presentation of a video image on the glass faceplate, a coating comprising:an antireflective layer disposed on the outer surface of the faceplate; an organic dye disposed in said antirefiective layer for increasing color purity and contrast of the video image presented on the glass faceplate; a first silane binding agent disposed in the antireflective layer for bonding to the dye and preventing diffusion of the dye out of the antireflective layer; and a second silane binding agent disposed in and bonded to the antireflective layer for providing the antireflective layer with increased water resistance for preventing washing out of the dye from the antireflective layer.
