Definitions

  • a multiplex screen structure is provided for a color cathode ray tube whereof the window areas of a web bing structure are smaller than the apertures of a spatially related pattern member.
  • the screen structure comprises a first apertured webbing of an opaque electrical conductive material formed by photoprocessing on the inner surface of the tube viewing panel.
  • a second apertured webbing of a substantially opaque material is electrophoretically superposed over the first webbing to provide a duo-webbing whereof the apertures are inalignment.
  • the electrophoretic deposition of the second webbing produces a narrow matlike encompassment within the perimeter of each aperture in the first webbing to effect a reduced-in-size second webbing aperture or window.
  • An array of phosphor elements are formed to overlay the window areas, whereupon a reflective metallic backing is ap- ""ed.
  • This invention relates to a color cathode ray tube and more particularly to the multiplex screen structure disposed over the viewing panel thereof.
  • Cathode ray tubes utilized to present multi-color display imagery for color television and the like, usually have patterned multi-element screen structures comprised of repetitive groupings of related phosphor materials of which dot-like areas of round, ovate or elongated shapings are common depositions.
  • a conventional tube construction employs an apertured pattern member, having round, ovate or elongated openings therein, positioned in spaced relationship with the patterned screen, which in a post deflection type of tube, functions as an electrode in the finished tube, and is commonly utilized in the prior deposition of the patterned elements of the screen on the inner surface of the glass viewing panel.
  • the multi-element screen pattern is likewise formed by using a spatially positioned apertured pattern member.
  • each of the openings in the pattern member is related to a specific grouping of phosphor elements in a spaced manner to enable selected electron beams traversing the apertures to impinge the proper pattern elements therebeneath. Normally the individual phosphor elements of the screen pattern are separated from one another by relatively small interstitial spacings which enhance color purity by reducing the possibility of adjacent color-emitting phosphor elements being excited by a specific electron beam.
  • each phosphor element is then surrounded or defined by a substantially non-translucent encompassment which collectively comprise a multi-opening pattern in the form of a windowed webbing having a lace-like array of opaque interconnecting interstices.
  • a pattern of clear polymerized polyvinyl alcohol dots is light disposed on the inner surface of the panel, on those areas subsequently to be windows in the opaque webbing, by photo exposure through the related apertured pattern member.
  • the resultant island-like polymerized dots are reduced in size by an erosion-technique involving careful treatment of the dot pattern with a chemical degrading agent. This proceudre requires close timing and control, after which the panel is rinsed.
  • an opaque material such as, for example, a graphite coating is applied to completely cover the pattern of the reduced-in-size clear dots and the adjacent bare interstitial glass areas.
  • an oxidizing agent is applied to completely degrade the pattern of coated dots thereby loosening the superjacent opaque coating thereon, whereupon the materials so loosened are removed by a subsequent water development step.
  • an opaque interstitial web having multitudinous windows defined as bare glass areas that are of a dimensional size smaller than the related apertures in the pattern member.
  • the phosphor pattern elements are then disposed on these window areas by photo exposure through the initially dimensioned apertures in the pattern member by one of the several processes known in the art.
  • the mask member is treated after the dot-initiated windows and the overlaying phosphor elements are formed by a separate series of photo exposures through the initially apertured mask.
  • This process involves subjecting the mask to a chemical etching solution whereby the sizes of the mask apertures are enlarged thereby effecting a dimensional differential between the final-sized apertures and the formed windows in the opaque interstitial webbing. While, this too, is a production procedure, the aperture etching requires additional closely controlled process ing steps.
  • a color cathode ray tube multiplex screen structure spatially associated with an apertured pattern member and comprising a first apertured webbing of an opaque electrically conductive material formed by photoprocessing on the inner surface of the tube viewing panel.
  • a second apertured webbing of a substantially opaque material is electrophoretically superposed on the first webbing to provide a duo-webbing structure with the apertures thereof being in alignment.
  • the electrophoretic deposition of the second webbing effects a narrow mat-like encompassment within the delineating perimeter of each of the first webbing apertures thereby producing a smaller secondwebbing aperture or window, the defining encompassment being substantially perimetrically contiguous with the glass surface of the viewing panel within the aperture area of the first webbing.
  • the windowed structure thus formed provides window areas smaller than the apertures in the spatially related pattern member.
  • a patterned screen comprising a spaced-apart multitude of at least two repetitive phosphor elements, is formed atop the second apertured webbing whereof an individual phosphor element is disposed over each of the reduced-in-size windows in the webbing structure.
  • the screen structure is completed by the application of a metallic reflecting film over the spaced-apart phosphor elements of the screen pattern.
  • FIG. 1 is an illustration of a color cathode ray tube in an operable environment and partially in section showing the relationship of the apertured pattern member to the associated multiplex screen structure disposed on the glass viewing panel of the tube;

  • FIG. 5 is a partial view taken along the line 5--5 of FIG. 4 showing additional detail of the coating means.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a shadow mask type of color cathode ray tube 11 in an operating environment designated diagrammatically as 12.
  • the encompassing envelope 13 includes a glass viewing panel 15 which is bonded along the sealing edge 16 thereof to the funnel portion 17 of the envelope.
  • a pattern member or mask 19 which comprises a domed metallic multiapertured portion 21 which is joined to a strengthening perimetrical frame 23.

  • a reflective aluminum film 35 covers the back of the screen structure and extends onto the peripheral side wall region of the panel.
  • the metallic apertured pattern member 21 Spaced rearward from the screen structure 25 is the metallic apertured pattern member 21 wherein a representative aperture 37 is dimensioned larger than the related window area 31
  • An exemplary electron beam 39, emanating within the tube, from a source not shown, is dircted toward the mask-screen assembly 41.
  • the present invention relates to the apertured opaque webbing 33 of the structure, which in this instance is a duo-layered formation, and to the process for fabricating the same.
  • the basic or first apertured webbing 47 as illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 is disposed by a plural-step process on the inner surface of the glass viewing panel 15.
  • a thin uniform layer of a substantially clear polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution photosensitized with a chromate material, such as potassium or ammonium bi or dichromate is applied to the inner surface of the panel by known techniques in the art.
  • the apertured pattern member 19 is then positioned within the panel and the PVA coating exposed by beaming substantially actinic radiation, from predeterminately located sources, through the multiple openings in the mask to photo-polymerize discrete portions of the panel coating in the areas subsequently occupied by the screen pattern phosphor elements.
  • the exposed coating is developed by rinsing with water to remove the unexposed PVA, thereby providing a web pattern of substantially bare glass defining the interstitial spacings between the substantially clear polymerized pattern elements.
  • These polymerized dot-like elements subsequently become window areas in the opaque interstitial webbing of the subsequently formed color screen structure, such as taught in the previously mentioned webforming procedure disclosed in US. Pat. application Ser. No. 41,535 by R. L. Bergamo et al.
  • the patterned panel is then overcoated with a uniform layer of a substantially opaque electrically conductive material, for example a carbon containing substance, such as a colloidal suspension of graphite, which, upon drying, is treated with a degrading agent such as hydrogen peroxide.
  • a substantially opaque electrically conductive material for example a carbon containing substance, such as a colloidal suspension of graphite
  • This treatment effects an effervescence and degradation of the coated screen pattern element areas of light-polymerized material and loosens the associated graphite thereon.
  • the degradation materials and loosened graphite coating are thence removed by pressurized water thereby providing the first apertured webbing 47 which is both opaque and electrically conductive.
  • the apertures 31 in the first webbing which are the basic window areas in the screen structure, are related to the apertures 37 in the spatially associated pattern member 21.
  • Each of the pattern mask apertures 37 is common to at least two basic window areas 31 in the first webbing 47 during both photo-fabrication of the screen and subsequent tube operation since the respective utilized energies are beamed from predeterminately offset and spatially positioned sources such as indicated at A and B in FIG. 2.
  • the window-defining light absorbing interstitial portion of the first webbing 47 is a related counterpart of the solid interstitial portion 51 of the apertured portion 21 of the metallic pattern member 19; Since the pattern apertures 37 are employed to form the basic window areas 31 of the first webbing 47, there is an interrelationship between the pattern aperture dimensioning d and the basic window dimensioning e as referenced in FIG. 2.
  • a window-limited screen structure wherein the windows in the multiplex screen are smaller than the apertures in the pattern member, without altering the pattern member or the initially formed apertures therein in any manner.
  • a second apertured webbing 53 of a non-lighttransmissive material is superposed on the first webbing by electrophoretic means to provide a duo-webbing structure 55.
  • the second coating material in addition to overlaying the first webbing material, is adherent to the defining peripheries 59 of the first webbing apertures.
  • This peripheral adherence provides a fill-in or narrow mat-like encompassment 61 within the delineating perimeter of each of the apertures of the first webbing to define a multiplicity of clear reduced-insize windows 31' in the duo-webbing structure 55 that are in the order of 1.0 to 4.0 mils smaller than the first webbing apertures.
  • the inner defining edge 63 of each window encompassment is substantially contiguous with the glass surface of the viewing panel.

Therewhich is inclusive of graphite, lampblack and other particulate carbon materials. Such second webbing materials provide a visibly dark opaque continuation extending peripherally within the apertures of the first webbing.
  • the second webbing may also be of a compatible substantially white opaque material such as for example zinc oxide and aluminum oxide of a thickness to effectively provide the narrow peripheral light colored fill-in to achieve the window-limited" feature of the screen structure.

Insulated electrical connections 93 and 95 from a dc. supply 97 are attached through switching means 99 to the electrode member 71 and the first panel webbing 47 to effect electrophoretic deposition of the second apertured webbing upon the first.

Movement is initiated within the suspension by activation of the agitation means 109. The dc. power supply 97 is then activated to apply an electrical potential of, for example, in the order of to 200 volts to establish a coating application current of a sufficiency to effect superposed electrophoretic deposition of the particulate solids on the first apertured conductive webbing 47.

  • a second or repeat electrophoretic application can be made to achieve a required coating buildup to further reduce the final dimensioning of each window area. Since the amount of coating deposition is directly related to the inter-electrode spacing, a graded sizing of the final windows areas of the second coating can be produced by a discrete shaping of the electrode member. Graded sizing is also achieveable by the combination of inter-electrode spacing with varia tions in withdrawal timing and applied potential.
