Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce discoloration caused by ultraviolet radiation and aging beams and deterioration of materials by forming a heat resisting thin film filter on the surface of a translucent glass through which displayed information is observed. CONSTITUTION:A thin film filter 21 is formed from low oxide of metal or compound metal on the inner face of a translucent face glass 20 located inside a vacuum container, through which face glass displayed information is observed from the direction of the arrow A. The thin film filter 21 uses as a sputtering target a complex target 21 which comprises W oxides 31 embedded in an Al plate 30 by the area ratio of about 25% thereto and which is accumulated on the surface of the translucent face glass 20 i.e., the inside of the vacuum container to form a film of AlWO3. Discoloration caused by ultraviolet radiation and aging beams and the like, and deterioration of materials are therefore reduced considerably.

Insulating layer 3. Anode electrode 41 phosphor layer 5. A substrate assembly 8 on which main components such as a grid electrode 6 and a filament 7 are mounted, and a face glass assembly 11 in which a spacer glass 10 is bonded to a translucent face glass 9 are placed facing each other. After sealing, the exhaust pipe 13 is evacuated, the inside is maintained in a vacuum state, and the exhaust pipe 13 is tipped off. Additionally, on the inner surface side (vacuum side) of the above-mentioned translucent face glass 9, for example, a Nesa film or an ITO film is coated on the inner surface side (vacuum side) to prevent poor light emission of the phosphor layer 5 due to static electricity charging.

When a user uses a fluorescent display tube that is threatened in this way, since the face glass 9 is translucent, a very dark colored filter is used so that the internal components other than the display area cannot be seen. This was used to increase the clarity of the displayed content and to reduce the reduction in visibility of the display due to reflection of external light.

A composite target 32 in which W oxide 31 is embedded at a ratio of approximately 25% of the occupied area is used to deposit approximately 80 OA onto the surface of the translucent face glass 20 that will become the inside of the vacuum chamber by a normal sputtering method. Deposited to thickness AL:
Form a WO3 film. When a fluorescent display tube was manufactured using a face glass in which a thin film filter 21 was formed on the transparent face glass 20 using the same conventional fluorescent display tube manufacturing process, it was found that the surface of the transparent face glass 20 was The transmittance of the face glass on which the thin film filter 21 is formed is approximately 30.
3. There was a fight. The value of this transmittance must be within about 1.5 times the value immediately after forming the thin film filter 21 on the face glass 20 (approximately 22 times). The change in transmittance during each thermal process of the pre-firing process (air width approx. 410℃), sealing process (nitrogen width approx. 450℃), and evacuation process (vacuum width approx. 350℃) (see) is slight. , At: W O

Turning to the same figure, a dielectric material (Zr02) is applied to the inner surface of the vacuum container of the translucent face glass 20 through which display information is observed from the direction of arrow A by sputtering.
A dielectric thin film 22 is formed by depositing it to a thickness of A, and on this dielectric thin film 22, a composite target is used, in which small pieces of Ti oxide are embedded in an At plate at an occupied area ratio of about 25 mm. Then, an A L:TiOz film 23 with a thickness of about 60 OA is deposited by sputtering, and a dielectric thin film 22 and an At:T film are deposited on the light-transmitting face glass 20 surface.
A thin film filter 24 having a two-layer structure with an iOZ film 23 is formed. Even in this two-layer structure thin film filter 24, its transmittance can be set to any value between 5 and 90% by changing the area ratio occupied by Ti oxide to the A4 plate. In addition, the reflectance of external light viewed from the surface side of the face glass 2o could be reduced to 5 to 6%, and variations in reflectance could be minimized.

Furthermore, by coating MgF2 on the surface side of the face glass 20 as is commonly used, the face glass 22 of the face glass 200 has a thin film filter 21 or a thin film filter 24 formed on the inner surface side.
The reflectance component from the zero surface is reduced to about 1.5%,
That is, in each of the above examples, it was possible to further reduce the reflectance by about 2.5%.

By using a lower oxide of St or Sl (SiOx) as the material for the thin film filter, it is possible to use a thin film filter on the inner surface of the glass substrate even in a fluorescent display tube configured to observe displayed information from the glass substrate side. Formation is possible. In addition, in a fluorescent display tube configured to observe display information from the glass substrate side, there is no need for the thin film filter to also have an antistatic function due to its structure, so the thin film filter is attached to the glass substrate surface which is the outside of the vacuum container. The temperature is good.

In the above embodiments, only lower oxides of metals or composite metals were described as heat-resistant conductive thin film filters, but it is known that lower nitride films of metals or composite metals also have conductivity. As long as these materials can withstand the thermal process of manufacturing fluorescent display tubes, they can be used as thin film filters that also serve as the antistatic film described in the above embodiments. Furthermore, it is needless to say that carbides of metals or composite metals can also be used as thin film filters, as long as they can withstand the heat process in the above-mentioned fluorescent display tube manufacturing process.
