Title: Improvements in or relating to methods of manufacturing display screens for cathode-ray tubes
IPC: H01J9/227
Filed: 1961-08-03
Abstract: 915,845. Colour television tubes. PHILIPS ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Aug. 3, 1961 [Aug. 6, 1960], No. 28239/61. Drawings to Specification. Class 39 (1). In a method of making a multi-colour cathoderay tube display screen in which for the application of the final phosphor a solution of a photosensitive binder is used, the solution is dried and then is exposed to hardening radiation through the screen support, a filter layer for the hardening radiation is interposed, in the areas occupied by the previously applied phosphors, between the support and the binder. Finally the unexposed binder and the filter layer are removed. Preferably the final phosphor fills the entire surface of the support between areas occupied by the phosphors previously applied and the screen is completed by the usual metal reflecting layer. The filter layer may be applied before or after the formation of the first phosphor layers, as a dye or as a pigment in a photosensitive binder, or the grams of the first phosphor material may be previously coated with the filter material. The final phosphor layer or the filter layer may be applied by a method in which the material is suspended in a photo-sensitive binder and non-exposed areas unhardened by radiation washed out or by a method in which a layer of binder only is exposed and rendered sticky by radiation and unexposed areas washed out before or after the material is applied. These methods may be used for the application of the first phosphor layers or other known methods such as silkscreen printing may be used. In one example in which suitable phosphors are: willemite for green, silver-activated zinc sulphide for blue and silver-activated zinc-cadmium sulphide for red, the last phosphor forms the final layer and a suitable binder is polyvinyl alcohol containing bichromate as sensitizer.
