Normally, phosphors used in fluorescent display tubes must be able to easily emit light when exposed to slow electron beams.
Mainly zinc oxide phosphor (ZnO:Zn) or ZnS
Among these, zinc oxide phosphors ( ZnO :
Zn) is mainly used. Therefore, as a method to extract the desired emission color, (a) Zinc oxide phosphor (ZnO:Zn) has a peak wavelength of mainly green light, but it has a wide range of light emission colors from blue to red. Because there are

In this case, in example (c), the light emitted from the surface of the phosphor particles is diffusely reflected around the phosphor, and a part of it hits the pigment, and a light output 3 corresponding to the spectral characteristics of the pigment is extracted. It will be done. Note that 4 is a glass substrate.

However, in conventional fluorescent display tubes viewed from the cathode filament side, method (a) has the disadvantage that the distance between the color filter and the phosphor is large, causing parallax and making it impossible to obtain a fine multicolor pattern. The above method (b) is limited to the shortest lifetime phosphor because the deterioration characteristics of the phosphors of each emitting color are different, and the color tone changes midway; and the above method (c) uses pigments. Since the phosphor itself does not contribute to light emission at all, most of the light emission output comes from the phosphor, which causes problems such as poor wavelength conversion efficiency and the inability to obtain the desired light emission color with the desired brightness.

In the case of (c), it may be possible to increase the amount of pigment mixed, but since the pigment itself does not contribute to light emission at all, it will inhibit the luminescence ability of the phosphor, resulting in an extremely low brightness and external radiation. The output light output also decreases.

Next, the light emitting operation of the fluorescent display tube with the above configuration will be explained. First, when the zinc oxide phosphor 9 emits light with a slow electron beam, the light generated on the surface of the phosphor is selectively absorbed while passing through the pigment particles of the conductive pigment layer 8, and is then selectively absorbed by the transparent conductive layer 8. The light passes through the anode 6 and the transparent substrate 5, and exits as a light output 3 from the anode substrate side. In this case, the phosphor 9, the transparent conductive film anode 6, and the transparent substrate 5 exhibit almost flat spectral characteristics in the visible light range, and the wavelength of light emitted from the phosphor 9 can be converted to a desired wavelength. . In other words, on the cathode side, the emission color is only the emission wavelength of the zinc oxide phosphor (ZnO:Zn), but on the anode substrate side, the emission color is
The peak length is 4800 Å, and blue wavelength conversion is possible. Moreover, the colors of pigments include blue, green, yellow, orange, etc., so by selecting the pigment appropriately,
A phosphor screen with a desired luminescent color can be obtained. Furthermore, various pigments such as metal salts and sulfates are used. For example, when cobalt aluminate is used as a pigment, the light output from the cathode side has a main emission wavelength of 5050 Å, and the 4500 Å (blue) component is small, but the emission wavelength of light output 3 from the anode substrate side is 4800 Å. This becomes the peak wavelength and the wavelength is effectively converted.

Normally, when a low-velocity electron beam hits a zinc oxide phosphor, electrons are gradually accumulated in the zinc oxide phosphor, lowering its potential and inhibiting the introduction of the electron beam, reducing its brightness. In this embodiment, the electrons entering the zinc oxide phosphor 9 flow to the anode 6 via the conductive pigment layer 8, so this problem is eliminated.

As explained in detail above, according to the fluorescent display tube according to the present invention, (a) Since the base phosphor is one type, the deterioration characteristics are constant for each color, and discoloration during operation is prevented. (b) Since the filter and the emitting phosphor are integrated, there is no parallax, making it possible to display fine patterns in multiple colors. (c) Light is extracted from the anode substrate side. (d) In particular, by providing a conductive pigment layer between the phosphor and the anode, good conduction between the anode and the phosphor can be achieved. As a result, electrons are less likely to accumulate on the anode side, resulting in less reduction in brightness.
