Definitions

  • This invention relates in general to a "flat-square" color cathode ray tube, that is, a color tube having a flat faceplate and square screen corners, and in particular to a color selection electrode assembly for use therein.
  • the invention is concerned with methods of manufacturing the electrode assembly, as well as a flat-square cathode ray tube utilizing the assembly.
  • a color selection electrode or "shadow mask” is a device which is disposed adjacent the luminescent phosphor screen that forms the target electrode of a color cathode ray tube, to control the landing pattern of one or more electron beams as they are swept across the screen.
  • the shadow mask achieves color selection by partially shadowing the surface of the screen from scanning electron beams, permitting access to selected elemental phosphor areas by those beams.
  • the choice of a color selection electrode for use in color television cathode ray tubes is, by and large, a choice between a non-tensed electrode and a tensed electrode. The most common type of color selection electrode used in color television receivers today is the non-tensed type.
  • the general practice in cathode ray tubes manufactured for use in color television receivers is to position the untensed mask at an assigned location, relative to the phosphor screen, by suspending it from three preselected points disposed about the periphery of the tube's face panel.
  • This suspension accommodates overall thermal expansion of the mask by causing the mask to be displaced toward the screen from its original position by provision of bi-metallic support springs; however, such provision can not resolve the above-described localized "doming" problem caused by concentrated heating in localized areas of the mask.
  • Cathode ray tubes using a tensioned color selection electrode are known such as the electrode used with a cylindrical faceplate CRT as described in U.S. Patent No. 3,638,063.
  • the color selection electrode comprises a grid formed of a multitude of parallel conductors tensed across a rigid frame. This grid serves to mask the wiring beams to fall upon the desired light emitting phosphor.
  • the mask supporting frame is mechanically stressed, as by compressing it, prior to attaching the shadow mask thereto. Upon release of the compression force, restoration forces in the frame establish tension in the mask.
  • An advantage of utilizing a tensed mask resides in the fact that the mask, while under tension, will not readily submit to "doming".
  • the mask retains its desired configuration until the heat generated by the scanning beams impinging thereon is sufficient to cause the area of the mask under bombardment to "relax" enough to negate the pre-established expansion of the mask with resultant development of color impurities.
  • the color television cathode ray tube in most common usage today employs a faceplate which approximates a section of a large radius sphere.
  • the shadow mask in such a tube is contoured to match the faceplate.
  • a trend today is toward a flatter faceplate which, in turn, calls for a flatter shadow mask.
  • One approach currently being pursued resorts to an untensed flat metal mask employed in conjunction with a substantially flat faceplate.
  • a flat mask is inherently less mechanically stable than a curved mask. Accordingly, to acquire stability, resort is had to a thicker mask, for example, one having a thickness in the order of 10 to 12 mils. This is approximately twice the thickness of a conventional curved mask.
  • the aperture etching process is presented with horrendous problems. Specifically, in order to prevent aperture limiting of the beam at the outer reaches of the mask, as would be encountered in a 90 degree tube, the apertures have to be etched at an angle to the plane of the mask, rather than etched substantially perpendicular to that plane as is the case for a conventional curved mask.
  • U.S. Patent No. 3,284,655 to -Oess is concerned with a direct viewing storage cathode ray tube employing a mesh storage target which is supported in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the tube.
  • the mesh target comprises a storage surface capable of retaining a charge pattern which, in turn, control the passage therethrough of a stream of electrons.
  • mesh storage screen be affixed (no details given) to a circumferential ring that is disposed across the open end of envelope member. One end of the ring is in contact with the edge of the envelope member which has a coating of glass frit applied thereon.
  • the electrode spanning the inside of the tube envelope is a mesh screen that is not said to be subject to tension forces. Morevoer, the mesh screen is not a color selection electrode that serves to direct a writing beam selected elemental areas of color phosphors. Finally, there is no criticality, perceived or discussed, as respects mesh target registration with the phosphor layer on the faceplate.
  • U.S. Patent No. 2,813,213 describes a cathode ray tube which employs a switching grid mounted adjacent the phosphor screen to provide a post deflection beam deflecting force. Basically, it is proposed to employ a taut wire grid that is sealed in the tube envelope wall. In one embodiment, an external frame is used to relieve the tension forces applied by the taut grid to the glass wall of the tube. In another embodiment, an arrangement is generally suggested but not specifically disclosed utilizing a glass donut- shaped structure into which the grid wires are sealed. This donut assembly is proposed for insertion between the faceplate of the tube and its conical section. Following tube assembly, the patent indicates that the phosphors may be deposited on the faceplate by conventional photographic processes.
  • the present invention therefore provides a color cathode ray tube including a funnel having a sealing land, a faceplate comprising a target surface having a pattern of elemental phosphor areas deposited thereon and a sealing land circumscribing said target surface, said faceplate having registration affording means selectively located and oriented thereon, a color selection electrode assembly permitting selective excitation of said phosphor areas by a scanning beam of electrons comprising, frame means defining a central opening dimensioned to enclose said target surface of said faceplate, said frame means being formed of a material having a temperature coefficient of expansion approximating that of said faceplate and comprising a pair of substantially flat, axially spaced surfaces comprising sealing lands, a planar tensed foil, having a predetermined pattern of apertures supported by said frame means, said foil being formed of a material having a temperature coefficient of expansion greater than that of said frame means, and indexing means mechanically associated with said frame means and cooperable with said faceplate registration affording means to permit precise registration between said aperture
  • One of the features of the invention is that it provides a color selection electrode of the tensed type which has the anti-doming attribute of tension- type electrodes, but without the power handling limitations of prior art tension electrode systems.
  • a further feature of the invention is that it provides an envelope-captivated tensed color selection electrode system having the advantages of such systems, yet which is readily adapted to conventional color tube photoscreening methods and apparatus.
  • a color selection electrode assembly 10 is shown in Figure 1 associated with and forming an integral part of a flat-square color television cathode ray tube 12.
  • Tube 12 is depicted therein in a perspective exploded format as an aid in visualizing the inventive concept.
  • electrode assembly 10 is utilizable as a stencil for use in screening a pattern of luminescent primary color elemental phosphor areas upon the target surface 14 of the envelope section 16 that comprises the faceplate of tube 12.
  • faceplate 16 is depicted as a flat panel of glass formed from sheet glass so as to take advantage of material substantially less expensive than a conventional glass face panel.
  • the flat glass faceplate has a predetermined temperature coefficient of expansion and has a sealing land 18 that circumscribes target surface 14.
  • This sealing land constitutes a surface for receiving a bead of frit 20, a devitrifying glass adhesive employed in fabricating cathode ray tubes.
  • the frit employed is a low-temperature solder glass material which is available from Owens-Illinois Inc. under their designation CV-130.
  • the electrode assembly 10 upon completion of its screening function, is thereafter, at the option of the practitioner, frit sealable to faceplate 16 to permit selective excitation of the primary color phosphors by a scanning electron beam(s) when that assembly forms a constituent of a color cathode ray tube.
  • faceplate 16 is provided with registration affording means or alignment elements, which take the form of a plurality of V-grooves 22.
  • the grooves 22 constitute three slots which are milled into the surface of the faceplate's sealing land 18.
  • the included angle defined by the sloping walls of the grooves 22 preferably approximate sixty degrees and they are oriented so that the bottom of each groove lies along a line that extends radially from the geometric center of the faceplate.
  • V-grooves 22 do not extend to the edge of the faceplate, see Figure 1. This is done to avoid a direct communication to the atmosphere which could compromise vacuum integrity once the faceplate has been frit sealed to electrode assembly 10 -and to a funnel 24. While discernible only in phantom in Figure 1, funnel 24 has a sealing land 26 which geometrically matches a mating surface of one component of electrode assembly 10, the composition of which is described in detail below. If desired, funnel sealing land 26 may be provided with a corresponding plurality of alignment elements which also take the form of V-grooves 22' milled into sealing land 26 and which can be spatially aligned with indexing means associated with the aforesaid one component of electrode assembly 10.
  • funnel sealing land 26 Recourse to V-grooves 22' is optional since it is appreciated that other means for aligning the funnel sealing land 26 with electrode assembly 10 are well known. In fact, a common practice is to use an "outside" reference system, which, for the case at hand, would entail aligning the funnel to the electrode assembly, after that assembly had been mated to the faceplate, by positioning the funnel against referencing snubbers. For sealing purposes, which will be described, either funnel land 26 or the upper sealing land surface of electrode assembly 10 is provided with a bead of devitrifying frit. Finally, funnel 24, which includes a neck 27, is formed of a material, e.g., a glass or ceramic composition which, preferably has the same, or approximately the same, temperature coefficient of expansion as faceplate 16.
  • a material e.g., a glass or ceramic composition which, preferably has the same, or approximately the same, temperature coefficient of expansion as faceplate 16.
  • the color selection electrode arrangement 10 shown in Figure 1 comprises a temporary severable mount 30 defining a central opening 31 of a predetermined expanse.
  • Mount 30, which adopts a rectangular configuration, is readily formed from four butt-welded strips of L-shaped angle metal. Strips of other geometry, of course, are also suitable.
  • the four-sided mount is formed of a material having a temperature coefficient of expansion greater than that of envelope sections 16 and 24.
  • mount 30 can be formed from cold rolled steel, stainless steel, nickel or monel to name a few of the materials found acceptable in practicing the invention.
  • Electrode assembly 10 further comprises, at this stage, an untensed planar foil 32 which has a predetermined array, or pattern, of apertures which may be triads of minute circular holes or, as now favored in state of the art color television tubes, a myriad of elongated narrow slots disposed perpendicular to the major axis of the foil.
  • the foil is tautly drawn across opening 31 of the mount under whatever tension is required to render the foil planar and it is then secured to the four sides of mount 30 by brazing or welding. In a manner to be described, foil 32 will subsequently be converted to a tension mask.
  • Foil 32 has a temperature coefficient of expansion which is not greater than that of mount 30 and, preferably, a temperature coefficient less than that of the mount.
  • foil 32 can be formed from cold rolled steel, or invar, to name two substances, each of which are utilizable with mounts made from any of the above-mentioned mount materials.
  • the thickness of foil 32 is preferably less than 2 mils (.002 in.), otherwise unacceptable stresses may be induced in envelope glass when the foil, under tension, is incorporated in a tube.
  • a foil having a thickness equal to or less than 1 mil (.001 in.) is most suitable in practicing the invention.
  • foils having a thickness of one-half mil (.005 in.) or less are realizable and find practical application in the practice of the invention.
  • mount 30 is provided with a plurality of adjustable positioning devices. More particularly, four identical sets 34, 36, 38 and 40 of such devices are deployed around the mount with one set centered, approximately, upon each side of the mount.
  • set 34 is disposed opposite set 36 while set 38 is opposite set 40. Since the sets of positioning devices are identical, only set 34 need be detailed. Accordingly, this set comprises a pair of inwardly directed threaded spindles 34s each of which is rotatably received in a conventional nut 34n for displacement along an axis perpendicular to the central axis of tube 12.
  • One nut is secured, as by welding or brazing, to the upper surface, as viewed in Figure 1, of its assigned mount side while the other is secured to the underside of the depending wall of that side, see also Figure 2.
  • electrode assembly 10 includes a first frame means comprising a substantially rectangular frame member 42 which has an overall span that is less than the expanse of central opening 31 in mount 30.
  • the outside dimensions of frame member 42 are such as to permit the frame to be received within central opening 31 of mount 30.
  • frame 42 is nested inside opening 31 of the mount with its outer bounding wall 44 abutting against the ends of the lower spindles of positioning devices 34, 36, 38 and 40.
  • First frame member 42 defines a central aperture 46 which is dimensioned to enclose, or frame, target surface 14 of faceplate 16.
  • Frame 42 is formed of a glass or ceramic material having a temperature coefficient of expansion approximating that of faceplate 16 and, if formed from glass, is desirably cut from the same type of sheet glass as that utilized for the faceplate.
  • frame 42 In the central axial direction, as viewed in Figure l, frame 42 is bounded by a pair -of substantially flat, spaced-apart, parallel surfaces 48, 50 which comprise sealing lands that curcumscribe aperture 46.
  • the distance between surfaces 48, 50 in other words, the axial thickness of frame 42, is partially determinative of the Q-spacing for the cathode ray tube in which electrode assembly 10 is subsequently incorporated.
  • Q-spacing is defined as the spacing between the luminescent screen of a cathode ray tube and its shadow mask, in this case, it is the spacing between target surface 14 and foil 32.
  • electrode assembly 10 includes a second frame means comprising a substantially rectangular frame member 54 having an overall span that conforms substantially to the span of first frame member 42 and has a central aperture 56 substantially conforming, in expanse, to aperture 46 of frame 42.
  • Frame 54 is also nestable within opening 31 of mount 30 with its aperture coaxially aligned with aperture 43 of frame 42 and with its outer bounding wall 57 abutting against the ends of the upper spindles of the mount supported positioning devices.
  • Frame 54 preferably, is formed from the same type of material as that utilized for frame member 42 and thus has a temperature coefficient of expansion approximating that of faceplate 16.
  • Frame 54 is also bounded by a pair of substantially flat, spaced-apart parallel surfaces 58, 60 that constitute sealing lands that circumscribe aperture 56 of this frame.
  • sealing land 58 of frame 54 is disposed in a confronting relation to sealing land 50 of frame 42 and with the periphery of foil 32 sandwiched therebetween.
  • foil 32 presents the upper side of a peripheral portion thereof to sealing land 58 of frame 54, and at the same time, presents the lower or opposite side of that peripheral portion to sealing land 50 of frame 42.
  • electrode assembly 10 is utilizable as a stencil for screening a pattern of elemental phosphor areas upon target surface 14 of faceplate 16.
  • sealing land 48 of frame member 42 has indexing means associated therewith. More particularly, such means comprises a plurality (three) of rounded abutments, or bosses, 64 selectively located upon and affixed to sealing land 48 for cooperation with the registration affording gr.ooves 22 milled into the surface of faceplate sealing land 18.
  • each bosses 64 The function of each of bosses 64 is to effect a two point contact with the groove it is received by, for a total six-point contact as between frame member 42 and faceplate 16.
  • each boss adopts a geometry such that when it is seated upon the inclined walls of its assigned faceplate groove, the target surface of the faceplate and foil 32 are maintained in a predetermined spaced-apart relation, that is, the previously adverted to Q-spacing. It is thus seen that, in addition to the axial thickness of frame member 42, Q-spacing is also determined by the geometry of V-grooves 22 and bosses 64.
  • sealing land 48 of frame 42 can be provided with grooves while the faceplate sealing land is fitted with boss elements. Since bosses 64 will ultimately be frit-sealed between the faceplate sealing land and sealing land 48 of frame member 42, it is desirable that they be formed from a glass sealable material, e.g. a metal alloy. An alloy particularly suited for this purpose is available from Carpenter Technology Corporation in Reading, Pennsylvania under their designation 430TI.
  • a plurality of boss elements 64' can be selectively located upon and affixed to sealing land 60 of frame member 54 for cooperation with grooves 22' milled into the funnel's sealing land 26.
  • an alternative registration arrangement for effecting a six-point contact between electrode assembly 10 and faceplate 16 contemplates the "external" approach shown in Figure 5. More particularly, as a registration affording means the faceplate 16 is fitted with three (only one shown) externally mounted, outwardly directed, break-away pins 65 which, geometrically, adopt the same relative locations as those occupied by V-grooves 22 on the faceplate shown in Figure 1. Indexing means cooperating with each of the pins 65 comprises a break-away tab 66 affixed to lower frame member 42. Tab 66 has a depending finger 67 which, in turn, is provided with a bifurcation 68 at its distal end.
  • electrode assembly 10 is supported over the faceplate with a finger bifurcation 68 poised over its assigned pin.
  • a six-point contact is established between the three pins 65 and their cooperating bifurcations 68.
  • This registration between the electrode assembly and the faceplate is repeatable as often as is required to accomplish screening of the target surface 14 of the faceplate, as well as to effect a final registration between the electrode assembly and the faceplate prior to frit sealing.
  • pins 65 may be broken away from the faceplate and tabs broken away from frame member 42.
  • a bead 70 of frit is applied to sealing land 50 of frame 42 and permitted to dry.
  • the previously mentioned Owens-Illinois type CV-130 is the preferred material.
  • Another bead 72 of frit is applied to sealing land 58 of frame member 54 and is also permitted to dry.
  • Mount 30, with foil 32 tautly secured thereto, is then positioned over frame 42 with the underside of the foil's peripheral portion in contact with frit bead 70.
  • Frame member 54 is then nested into mount 30 with its frit bead 72 in contact with the upper side of the foil's peripheral portion.
  • Positioning devices 34, 36, 38 and 40 are then adjusted to coaxially align apertures 46 and 56 of respective frame members 42 and 54. It is appreciated, of course, that the frit applications are a matter of choice since the beads of frit can be applied to the upper and lower peripheral portions of foil 32 instead of to sealing lands 50 and 58.
  • This assemblage is then inserted into a heat chamber, or oven, the temperature of which is elevated to approximately 430 degrees Centigrade and maintained thereat for thirty to forty-five minutes. These are the temperature and time parameters required to devitrify low-temperature CV-130 frit material. As the temperature rises frame members 42 and 54 will expand by an amount determined by their characteristic temperature coefficients of expansion. Simultaneously, mount 30 and foil 32 will also expand but, because of their greater temperature coefficients of expansion, their growth, relative to the frame members, will be greater. By the time this assemblage has reached a temperature of 430 degrees Centigrade, and by the time the frit has devitrified, mount 30 and foil 32 will have stabilized their expansion, as will have the frame members.
  • mount 30 is removed from the captured foil by severing the foil along the inside perimeter of the mount. (The mount, of course, is reusable.) The foil is then trimmed as close to the outside perimeter of the frame-foil junction as possible.
  • a known and widely used method of preparing color phosphor screens utilizes a process which has devolved from familiar photographic techniques. To this end, a slurry comprising a quantity of a primary color phosphor particles suspended in a photosensitive organic solution e.g., pva, is applied, as a coating, to the target surface 14 of faceplate 16.
  • a photosensitive organic solution e.g., pva
  • the registered faceplate and electrode assembly is then inserted in a lighthouse 74 comprising a source of light 76 actinic to the photosensitive coating and a conventional beam trajectory compensating lens 78.
  • This lens serves to compensate for the fact that the trajectory of an electron beam, under deflection, differs from the path of a light ray originating from the same point source as the electron beam.
  • light source 76 occupies a spatial position corresponding, in effect, to the axial position of the source of the electron beam that will subsequently excite the phosphor pattern to be created.
  • the slurry coating is then exposed to the actinic light rays that pass through compensating lens 78 before encountering the foil apertures.
  • the light transmitted through foil 32 then creates a latent image of the foil's aperture pattern on the coated faceplate.
  • electrode assembly 10 is then removed and the substrate is washed.
  • this wash will remove the exposed portion of the coating.
  • the invention is equally utilizable in a negative resist, negative guardband system or even in the tacky-dot dusting system.
  • the exposed coating is processed to establish upon target surface 14 a pattern of elemental phosphor areas corresponding to the aperture pattern of foil 32.
  • the slurry coating, faceplate-electrode assembly registration, exposure and wash steps are then repeated for each of the other primary color phosphor areas to be applied to target surface 14, with the source of actinic light, of course, disposed at appropriately different positions with respect to assembly 10.
  • a similar slurry coating, registration, exposure and wash procedure can be employed to provide the target surface with a black matrix pattern of the type employed in a negative guardband tube.
  • the resultant luminescent screen comprises a pattern of interleaved primary color phosphor areas corresponding to the aperture pattern in foil 32.
  • successive repositioning of the light source, prior to exposing the target screen through the foil is such as to effectively mimic the positions of three scanning electron beams issuing from a gun mount later to be fitted to the tube.
  • the resultant luminescent screen pattern will bear a unique geometric relationship, or orientation, to the light sources and, thereby, to the electron beam axes of the subsequently fitted electron gun mount.
  • the electrode assembly 10 employed to pattern the screen is mated to faceplate 16 and to funnel 24.
  • the upwardly facing sealing land surface 18 of faceplate 16 and the downwardly facing land surface 26 of funnel 24 are coated with beads of low-temperature frit 22, 22' which are permitted to dry.
  • the frit applications are a matter of choice since the beads of frit could as well be applied to first frame sealing land 48 and to second frame sealing land 60 instead of to surfaces 18 and 26.
  • Assembly 10 is then re-registered with faceplate 16 by inserting bosses 64 into grooves 22.
  • the sealing land of funnel 24 is then fitted over assembly 10 with its V-grooves 22' receiving bosses 64'.
  • This assemblage is then inserted into the heat chamber the temperature of which is again elevated to approximately 430 degrees Centigrade and maintained thereat for thirty to forty-five minutes. These are the temperature and time parameters required to devitrify low-temperature Owens-Illinois type CV-130 frit material. After this assemblage has reached a temperature of 430 degrees Centigrade and after a suitable period of time at this temperature, the frit will have devitrified and electrode assembly 10 will be captured between funnel 24 and the faceplate 16 to form an integral part of cathode ray tube 12.

  • the tube is subjected to an exhaust process.
  • the frame-foil junction of electrode 10 is then covered with a coating of insulating material to prevent external contact with the foil which, depending upon the excitation system utilized with the completed tube, may be maintained at a high electrical potential.

  • a color selection electrode arrangement 127 that affords selective excitation of the phosphor deposits by a scanning beam of electrons comprises a substantially rectangular ring-like frame 128 (since panel 118 is rectangular) defining a central opening 130 dimensioned to enclose target area 120 of panel 118.
  • Frame 128, which adopts the format of a section of a rectangular cylinder, is formed of a material having a temperature coefficient of expansion approximating that of panel 118, for 'example, glass or a ceramic of compatible coefficient of expansion.
  • Frame 128 comprises first and second substantially flat, spaced apart, parallel surfaces 132,. 134, respectively. As will be seen, surfaces 132 and 134 ultimately serve as sealing lands, with surface 132 disposed in a confronting relation to face panel sealing land 121.
  • Frame 128 also includes registration affording means comprising means defining a second like plurality of cavities 136, 138, formed at selected locations on surface 132 of the frame.
  • Cavities 136, 138 while of a predetermined different depth than that of cavities 122, 124 adopt a similar profile in that each of the former likewise presents an oval entrance constituting an elongated portion aligned along a radial extending from the geometric center of frame 128.
  • Surface 134 comprises a shadow mask mounting surface which is characterized by an overall external span which is less than the span of face panel 118 by at least the wall thickness of funnel bell portion 114. The significance of this dimensioning is intended to insure that no part of the mask will be exposed to the "outside", since in operation, tube 110 will maintain a 20KV to 30KV voltage on the mask. By relegating the peripheral portion of the mask to a location within the confines of the funnel, the safety objective is attained.
  • Arrangement 127 further comprises a color selection electrode, or shadow mask, in the form of a tensed planar foil 140 similar to foil 30 of Figure 1 having a predetermined pattern of apertures corresponding to the pattern of screen 119 on face panel 118.
  • Foil 140 has a temperature coefficient of expansion which is greater than that of frame 128 and preferably is formed from cold rolled steel with a glass or ceramic being utilized for frame 128.
  • the peripheral portion of foil 140 is bonded to frame surface 134 by a bead of frit 144, a devitrifying glass adhesive employed in fabricating cathode ray tubes.
  • arrangement 127 comprises a centrally apertured stabilizing, or stiffening, member 146, in the form of a rectangular ring (assuming, of course, that frame 128 and face panel 118 are rectangular).
  • Ring 146 has a predetermined axial thickness and is formed of a material having a temperature coefficient of expansion compatible with that of frame 128.
  • Ring 146 comprises a flat end face 147, which is bonded to the frame, and has an overall span such that it does not extend beyond the foil bonding surface 134 of frame 128.
  • the peripheral portion of foil 140 is bonded to surface 134 stabilizing ring 146 is bonded to that surface and by the same application of frit 144 so that foil 140 is sandwiched therebetween.
  • indexing means comprising a plurality of spherical elements 150 individually receivable between an assigned one of the panel cavities and an adjacent, oppositely disposed confronting one of the frame cavities. More particularly, elements 150 comprise balls formed of an alloy composition, the coefficient of expansion of which is compatible with the envelope glass since they will ultimately be frit sealed, in situ, when tube 110 is assembled.
  • a glass sealable metal alloy suitable for this purpose is available from Carpenter Technology Corporation in Reading, Pennsylvania under their designation 430TI.
  • each of balls 150 desirably exhibits a sphericity of .000050 inches. Additionally, because the cavities are of elongated configuration, each ball is afforded limited radial freedom along the confronting V-sided runways of its assigned panel and frame cavity to urge and establish a precise, repeatable registration between foil 140 and target area 120 of panel 118. Additionally, the ball diameter is such as to establish a predetermined Q spacing between target area 120 and foil 140.
  • electrode arrangement 127 is prepared as a tensed foil subassembly comprising frame 128 with foil 140 and ring 146 bonded thereto.
  • sealing land 121 of panel 118 is bonded to frame surface 132 and is also bonded to funnel sealing land 116.
  • the particular bonding agent is not critical, however, it is contemplated that, in each instance, resort may be had to a bead of frit 152.
  • frit bead 152 can also constitute a devitrifying glass adhesive of the type commonly employed in fabricating cathode ray tubes.
  • the frit to be employed can be a low temperature solder glass material which is available from Owens-Illinois, Inc. under their designation CV-130.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates a further alternate embodiment of the invention, which is specifically addressed to the construction adopted by the color selection electrode arrangement 127. Since the cathode ray tube 110 shown in Figure 7 is, except for arrangement 127; the same as that illustrated in Figure 6., like reference numerals are employed to identify like elements. Electrode arrangement 127; differs from its counterpart in Figure 6 principally in its lateral dimension. As shown in Figure 7, the outwardly facing wall 160 of frame 128' essentially coincides with the outer side wall 162 of face panel 119 as well as with the outside wall 164 of funnel bell portion 114. Frame 128; which is formed of the same material as its counterpart in Figure 6, also comprises first and second substantially flat spaced-apart parallel surfaces 166, 168.
  • Surface 166 comprises a groove 170 that extends completely around that surface to divide that surface into an inner, or foil mounting, area 172 and an outer sealing land area 174.
  • Inner area 172 which serves to receive the peripheral portion of foil 140, is also the surface to which end face 147 of stabilizing ring 146 is bonded.
  • the outer, or sealing land, area 174 of frame 128' serves to receive sealing land 116 of funnel bell portion 114.
  • groove 170 is to isolate the sealing land area 174 of surface 166 from surface 172 during the foil tensioning process which, of course, involves area 172, foil 140 and ring 146. As a result, a clean, readily workable area 174 is preserved for the subsequent frit sealing operation that bonds funnel sealing land 116 to that area.
  • FIG. 8 shows an alternate construction for the foil mounting frame, wherein the frame 128" exhibits the same basic configuration as frame 128' of Figure 7 except to the extent that the foil mounting area of frame 128" is positively isolated from its sealing land area by virtue of a shouldered, or pedestal construction.
  • frame 128" which defines a central opening 130 dimensioned to enclose target area 120 of foil 118, also comprises first and second substantially flat spaced-apart parallel surface 166', 168'.
  • a groove 70' extends around one surface of frame 128" to divide surface 166' into an inner foil mounting area 172' and an outer sealing land area 174'.
  • Inner area 172' which serves to receive the peripheral portion of foil 140, is also the surface to which end face 147 of stabilizing ring 146 is bonded.
  • the outer area 174' serves, of course, to receive the sealing land 116 of the funnel.
  • frame 128 In this alternate construction of frame 128" the plane of area 172' (and, of course, foil 140) is “below” (as one views Figure 8) sealing land surface l74'. Additionally, the shoulder construction for frame 128" materially eases practicing the above described process for tensing a foil and bonding it to its frame by affording a positive and definite isolation of area 1 7 2', from area 174'. Moreover, it should be appreciated that the differences in elevation as between areas 172' and 174' is not indicative of scale. In practice, the difference in elevation is small, the depicted illustration is intentionally exaggerated to distinguish from the Figure 7 embodiment.
  • Figure 9 depicts an electrode assembly 210 used in forming a patterned screen of phosphor deposits upon a substrate as a constituent of a flat-square color television cathode ray tube 212 in a manner similar to assembly 10 of Figure 1.
  • assembly 210 comprises a flat, substantially rectangular, glass panel 214 formed of a material having a predetermined temperature coefficient of expansion having a sealing land 216 circumscribing a target area 218 serving as a substrate for receiving a patterned phosphor screen 220.
  • face panel 214 is provided with registration affording means comprising means defining a first plurality of cavities 222, 224, 226; in a preferred execution they constitute three holes of predetermined depth with each presenting an oval entrance that affords each cavity an elongated portion, see Figure 11, that effectively provides the cavity with a fore-shortened V-sided runway, see in particular Figure 10a.
  • the cavities are formed at selected locations upon the target side of panel 214, specifically upon sealing land 216. It is of particular significance that the elongated portion of each cavity be aligned along one of radials 222R, 224R, 226R extending from the geometric center of panel 214 and that the cavities do not extend completely across sealing land 216 to the "outside". This construction is imperative, and it applies to any subsequently described cavities, in order to avoid a direct communication across the sealing land which could compromise vacuum integrity once assembly 216 has been frit sealed to a funnel 227 to form a constituent of a cathode ray tube.
  • one of the cavities, 222 be located upon the minor axis of panel 214 while cavities 224 and 226 be located at those corners of the panel across from cavity 222. Additional details respecting the registration affording cavities will be given at such time as the indexing means associated therewith are introduced.
  • Assembly 210 further comprises a frame 228 defining a central opening 230 dimensioned to enclose target area 218 of panel 214, see Figure 10.
  • Frame 228 is formed of a material having a temperature coefficient of expansion approximating that of panel 214, for example, glass or a ceramic of compatible coefficient of expansion.
  • Frame 228 comprises first and second substantially flat, spaced apart, parallel surfaces, 232, 234, respectively. As will be seen, surfaces 232 and 234 ultimately serve as sealing lands.
  • Frame 228 also includes registration affording means comprising means defining a second like plurality of cavities 236,238 and 240 formed at selected locations on surface 232 of the frame.
  • cavities 236, 238, 240 While of a predetermined different depth than that of cavities 222, 224, 226, adopt a similar profile in that each of the former likewise presents an oval entrance constituting an elongated portion aligned along a respective radial 236R, 238R, and 240R extending from the geometric center of frame 228.
  • cavities 236,238, and 240 also establish fore-shortened V-sided runways which are disposed in a confronting, and aligned relation, to their respective counterparts 222, 224 and 226 respectively, on panel sealing land 216.
  • cavities 236, 238, and 240 are geometrically similar to cavities 222, 224, and 226, and differ only in depth, the latter cavities are deeper, see Figure 10 or 10a.
  • the plurality of panel cavities and the plurality of frame cavities are arranged so that, collectively, the axes of the elongated portions of the panel cavities exhibit substantially the same radial geometry as that collectively exhibited by the axes of the elongated portions of the frame cavities.
  • Assembly 210 further comprises a color selection electrode 242, in the form of a tensed planar foil similar to foil 32 of Fig. 1.
  • the peripheral portion of foil 242 is bonded to an assigned inner area 244 of frame surface 234 by a bead of frit 245.
  • a centrally apertured stabilizing, or stiffening, member 246 identical to ring 146 of Figure 7 is employed.
  • Ring 246 has an overall span such that it does not extend beyond the foil bonding area 244 on frame surface 234, and it is also bonded to frame surface area 244.
  • the peripheral portion of foil 242 is bonded to area 244, stabilizing ring 246 is bonded to area 244 and by the same application of frit 245 so that foil 242 is sandwiched therebetween.
  • indexing means comprising a similar plurality (three) of spherical elements 250 similar to the balls 150 shown in Figures 6 and 7.
  • the indexing balls 250 are individually receivable, or seated, between an assigned one of the panel cavities and an adjacent, oppositely disposed confronting one of the frame cavities.
  • each ball is afforded limited radial freedom along the confronting V-sided runways of its assigned panel and frame cavity pair to urge and establish a precise, repeatable registration between foil 242 and target area 218 of panel 214.
  • Figure 10 is a section taken along panel radial 222R, the aforementioned limited radial displacement is therein readily discernible.
  • the manner in which the V-sided runways of confronting cavities 222 and 236 embrace ball 250 and effect a four-point contact therewith is clearly depicted in Figure 10a.
  • the result of the ball and cavity cooperation is to effect a repeatable registration, as between panel target area 218 and foil 242, to facilitate screening the face panel.
  • Frame 228 with tensed foil 242 bonded thereto is then seated upon the sidewalls 254 of lighthouse 252, which sidewalls are surmounted by any suitable indexing arrangement that will effectively maintain frame 228 immobile in a plane perpendicular to the central axis of the lighthouse.
  • a ball and cavity arrangement of the type described above can be resorted to, in fact, such an arrangement will be described below in connection with the manner in which assembly 210 is mated to a cathode ray tube funnel.
  • lighthouse 252 is seen to comprise a source of light 256 actinic to the photosensitive coating on panel target 218.
  • light source 256 occupies a spatial position corresponding, in effect, to the axial position of the source of the electron beam that will subsequently excite the phosphor deposits to be created.
  • the slurry coating is exposed to actinic light rays that pass through a conventional beam trajectory compensating lens 258 before encountering the apertures in foil 242.
  • the light transmitted through the foil, or mask then creates a latent image of the mask's aperture pattern on the coated faceplate.
  • the purpose, of course, for introducing lens 258 between the light source and the stenciling foil is to compensate for the fact that the trajectory of an electron beam under deflection differs from the path of a light ray originating from the same point source as the electron beam.
  • the exposed coating is processed to establish upon target area 218 a pattern of elemental phosphor deposits corresponding to the aperture pattern of foil 242, as initially exposed.
  • the slurry coating, panel registrations, exposure and wash steps are then repeated for each of the other primary color phosphor deposits to be applied to target area 218, with the source of actinic light, of course, disposed at appropriately different positions with respect to foil 242.
  • the resultant luminescent screen then comprises three groups of primary color phosphor deposits with each said group corresponding to the aperture pattern of foil 242.
  • the successive repositioning of the light source, prior to exposing the target screen through the foil is such as to effectively mimic the positions of three scanning electron beams issuing from a gun mount later to be fitted to the tube.
  • the resultant luminescent screen pattern will bear a unique geometric relationship, or orinetation, to the light sources and, thereby, to the electron beam axis of the subsequently fitted electron gun mount.
  • frame 228 includes additional registration affording means comprising means defining a third, like plurality of cavities 260, 262, and 264 of predetermined depth and each presenting an oval entrance that affords each cavity an elongated portion that provides the cavity with a fore-shortened V-sided runway.
  • the cavities are individually formed at selected locations upon surface 234 of the frame. Again, the elongated portion of each cavity is aligned along a radial 260R, 262R, and 264R extending from the geometric center of the frame. It will be noted, that cavity 260 lies along the minor axis of frame 228 while cavities 262 and 264 are disposed in corners of the frame across from cavity 260.
  • frame 228 is fitted with six cavities three on surface 232 and three on surface 234. It is significant that the locations of the cavities are staggered to the end that no two cavities are "back-to-back" which arrangement, of course, contributes to the integrity of frame 228.
  • funnel 227 that component is shown to be characterized by a bell portion 268 comprising a sealing land 268, which is identified by a broken construction line since it is hidden in the Figure 9 perspective view. Sealing land 268 is symmetrically disposed relative to the geometric center of bell portion 266.
  • Funnel 227 also includes registration affording means comprising means defining a fourth, like plurality of cavities 270, 272, 274 of predetermined depth and each presenting an oval entrance that affords each cavity an elongated portion that provides the cavity with a fore-shortened V-sided runway.
  • the cavities are individually formed at selected locations upon bell portion sealing land 268.
  • the elongated portion of each of cavities 270, 272, and 274 is aligned along a respective one of radials 270R, 272R, 274R, extending from the geometric center of the bell portion 261.
  • Indexing means comprising a plurality of spherical elements 276 are individually receivable between an assigned one of the cavities formed on frame surface 234 and an adjacent oppositely disposed confronting one of the cavities formed on bell portion sealing land 268.
  • Each of spherical elements 276, can adopt the same construction as previously described balls 250 and is of such diameter as to be afforded limited radial displacement along the elongated portion of its assigned frame and sealing land cavities so as to establish the geometric center of bell portion 266 in coincidence with the geometric center of frame 228.
  • the manner in which the cavities frame 260, 262, 264 cooperate with respective bell portion cavities 270, 272,274 respectively to receive an assigned one of balls 276,278, 280 is readily discernible from the exploded view of Figure 9.
  • sealing land 216 of panel 214 is bonded to frame surface 232 while frame surface 234 is bonded to funnel sealing land 268.
  • the particular bonding agent is not critical, however, it is contemplated that, in each instance, resort may be had to beads of frit 280, 282, for bonding panel 214 to frame surface 232 and for bonding frame surface 234 to funnel sealing land 268, respectively.
  • frit beads 280, 282 can also constitute a devitrifying glass adhesive of the type commonly employed in fabricating cathode ray tubes.
  • the frit to be employed can be a low temperature solder glass material which is available from Owens-Illinois, Inc. under their designation CV-130.
  • confronting series of cavities e.g. cavities 222, 224, 226 and 236, 238 and 246 can be of substantially the same depth without departing from the spirit of the invention, so long as the diameter of spherical elements assigned to the confronting series of cavities is such as to maintain, in this instance, panel 214 and frame surface 232 in a spaced-apart relation.
