- an electrode layer Over the inner wall of the screen panel 11, i.e., the surface facing the front panel 12, provided is an electrode layer, although not shown.
- the electrode layer is deposited by depositing, for example, aluminum (A1).
- the electrode layer also serves as a reflecting layer.
- the electrode layer is coated with a phosphor layer 14 to define an available picture area.
- the phosphor layer 14 is comprised of a fluorescent material such as yttrium oxide sulfate (Y 2 O 2 S).
- the conductive film is comprised of indium-tin oxide (ITO), i.e., a film of a mixture of oxides of indium and tin.
- ITO indium-tin oxide
- the electrode layer deposited over the inner wall of the screen panel 11 is electrically coupled to a voltage application terminal, although not shown, through the conductive film.
- the configuration as noted above is the same as that of a flat CRT according to the related art.
- a light-attenuation film 17 having a light-attenuating action is attached to the outer surface of the front panel 12 using, for example, acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive.
- the light-attenuation film 17 is comprised of an achromatic (i.e., gray) polyethylene terephthalate (PET) material.
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- the configuration of the light-attenuation film is not limited to a single-layered structure; for example, the light-attenuation film may have a laminated structure in which a coating made of a metal oxide such as chromium oxide is laid over a colorless, clear film.
- the light-attenuation film is arranged facing the window 2a provided in the casing 2.
- the electron beam EB emitted by the electron gun 15 passes through the open end of the funnel 13, and is accelerated toward the electrode layer of the screen panel 11, and strikes the phosphor layer 14. This causes the phosphor layer 14 to be excited for light emission. The light emitted is reflected by the reflecting layer, i.e., the electrode layer, and thereby a picture ray R is produced.

Then, the quantity of light of the transmitted ray R1a and the reflected ray R3a is equal to Lt, and the quantity of light of the transmitted ray R3b is equal to Lt 2 . Further, let the quantity of light of the picture ray R (see Fig. 3) be 1. Then, the quantity of light of the extraneous ray R1 transmitted through the front panel 12 and through the light-attenuation film 17 is equal to lt.
- the quantity of light reduced when the picture ray R is transmitted through the front panel 12 and through the light-attenuation film 17 is one-half (1/2) the quantity of light reduced when the extraneous ray R1 is reflected by the phosphor layer 14 and then released to the outside through the front panel 12 (that is, the transmitted ray R3b).
- the light-attenuation film 17 is attached directly to the front surface of the front panel 12. Therefore, the extraneous ray R1 passing into the flat CRT 10 is reduced in the quantity of light by the light-attenuation film 17 when passing through the front panel 12 and when reflected by the phosphor layer 14. Obviously, the quantity of light of the picture ray R is reduced by the light-attenuation film 17, but the quantity of light reduced is small relatively to that of the extraneous ray R1.

- the front panel 12 may be made of a glass material having a light-attenuating action, for example, a glass material referred to as tint or dark tint having transmittance of the order of 55 % or less per unit thickness (i.e., 10.16 mm). The effect obtained in this case is the same as described above.
- an anti-reflection film (an anti-reflection (AR) filter) 18 is attached to the outer surface of the front panel 12.

- the anti-reflection film 18 is attached to the front panel 12 using, for example, acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive.
- the film thickness of the metal film of the anti-reflection film 18 is selected to be one-quarter or an odd multiple of one-quarter the wavelength of the light in terms of the optical film thickness so that the transmittance will be small.
- the optical film thickness is given by the product of the refractive index of the coating material and the film thickness of the coating.
- the extraneous ray R1 passing into the flat CRT 100 is reflected by the front surface of the front panel 102 (i.e., the interface between the front panel 102 and the atmosphere) and by the back surface of the front panel 102 (i.e., the interface between the front panel 102 and the inside of the flat CRT 100).

- the extraneous ray R1 is reflected in part by the anti-reflection/light-attenuation film 19 and by the front panel 12, and thereby a reflected ray R8 occurs.
- the quantity of light of the reflected ray R8 is reduced as compared with the case without the anti-reflection/light-attenuation film 19.
- the quantity of light of the transmitted ray R14 is reduced, and therefore the quantity of light of a ray which is reflected by the phosphor layer 14 and is transmitted again through the front panel 12 is also reduced.
- a picture observed becomes clearer, as is the case in the embodiment described above.
- the front panel 12 as mentioned above is formed by cutting a glass plate. Therefore, the cutting process or assembly of flat CRTs often causes scratches on the surfaces of the front panel 12. If the front panel 12 has been scratched before the above-mentioned light-attenuation film 17, the anti-reflection film 18 or the anti-reflection/light-attenuation film 19 is attached to the front surface of the front panel 12, the scratches prevent one from seeing clearly a picture produced on the front panel 12. Scratched front panels or flat CRTs having scratched front panels are disposed of without being used as final products, resulting in the possibility of increasing waste and the manufacturing cost of flat CRTs. The following description relates to a flat CRT capable of making a picture observed clearer and making scratches inconspicuous.

- the adhesive film 20 is made of, for example, a UV-setting resin which sets when irradiated with ultraviolet radiation.
- the material of the UV-setting resin is radical polymerization type and mainly contains photopolymerizing oligomer, photopolymerizing monomer, photopolymerization initiator.
- the adhesive film 20 is made of such a material, and thereby the scratch 21 is filled in and the light-attenuation film 17 is preferably attached to the front panel 12a.
- the refractive index of the adhesive film 20 is substantially the same as the refractive index of the front panel 12a. More preferably, the difference between the refractive index of the adhesive film 20 after setting and the refractive index of the front panel 12a is equal to or smaller than 0.8 %.
- the adhesive film 20 has such a refractive index, and thereby the scratch 21 is made inconspicuous.
- the viscosity coefficient of the material of the adhesive film 20 is set to a suitable value so that the adhesive film 20 can fill in the groove of the scratch 21.
- the light-attenuation film 17 is made of a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film having a refractive index of 1.56 to 1.65, it is preferable that the viscosity coefficient of the adhesive film 20 is equal to or smaller than 2 Pa ⁇ s.
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- the light-attenuation film 17 is attached to the front panel 12a in the following manner. First, the adhesive film 20 is attached to one surface of the light-attenuation film 17. Next, with the surface of the adhesive film 20 contacted with the front panel 12a, the adhesive film 20 is irradiated with ultraviolet radiation through the light-attenuation film 17. Thus, the adhesive film 20 cures, and the light-attenuation film 17 is attached to the front surface of the front panel 12a.
- the extraneous ray R1 is transmitted through the scratch 121 on the front panel 102a, and is reflected by the phosphor layer 104.
- the reflected ray R2 prevents one from seeing clearly a picture produced on the front panel 102a.
- the extraneous ray R1 is also reflected by the area with the scratch 121, and a reflected ray R15 is released to the outside.
- the reflected ray R15 makes the scratch 121 conspicuous, which detracts from the appearance of a product having the flat CRT 100a or prevents one from seeing clearly a picture produced on the front panel 102a.
- the quantity of light of the extraneous ray R1 is reduced by the light-attenuation film 17 before the extraneous ray R1 arrives at the scratch 21 on the front panel 12a, and thereby the quantity of light of the extraneous ray R1 transmitted through is reduced.
- the scratch 21 is filled in by the adhesive film 20 while the refractive index of the adhesive film 20 is equal to that of the front panel 12a. Therefore, the transmitted light R1a is transmitted through the adhesive film 20 and through the scratch 21 without being reflected by the area with the scratch 21, and strikes the phosphor layer 14. As explained in the first embodiment, the transmitted ray R1a is reflected by the phosphor layer 14.
- the reflected ray R3a is transmitted through the front panel 12a and through the adhesive film 20. Then, the reflected ray R3a is transmitted through the light-attenuation film 17 again, and thereby the quantity of light of the reflected ray R3a is further reduced. Thus, the reflected ray R3a with less quantity of light is released to the outside.
- the light-attenuation film 17 is attached to the front surface of the front panel 12a with the adhesive film 20 in between.
- This causes a reduction in the reflected light which occurs when the extraneous ray R1 is reflected by the phosphor layer 14.
- the scratch 21 is filled in by the adhesive film 20 having a refractive index approximately equal to that of the front panel 12a, the scratch 21 becomes inconspicuous. This makes a picture observed clearer, as compared with the related art, while enabling the utilization of the front panel 12a with the scratch 21 as a final product, resulting in the effective use of components and a reduction in the manufacturing cost of flat CRTs.

Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a flat CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) which produces an optical picture made visible by phosphors excited through the scanning of an electron beam. The invention also relates to a picture display device using the flat CRT.
- In recent years, wall-hung television sets of small depth dimensions have received the attention of the market. Reflection-mode or transmission-mode flat CRTs, liquid crystal displays, plasma display panels or others have been developed. Especially, flat CRTs are known for their low manufacturing cost and high picture quality. Applications of flat CRTs include picture display devices such as a monitor of a front-door intercom.
- In the related art, a picture display device (for example, a monitor of a front-door intercom) having a display unit using this type of reflection-mode flat CRT has a configuration as illustrated in, for example, Fig. 1. The
picture display device 200 comprises aflat CRT 100 incorporated inside acasing 201. Thecasing 201 has awindow 201a in the front. Theflat CRT 100 comprises ascreen panel 101, a front panel (a display panel) 102 and afunnel 103 having aneck 103a, which conjointly form a three-part structure defining a flat glass bulb. Inside thescreen panel 101, an electrode layer, although not shown, is provided. Over the electrode layer, aphosphor layer 104 is provided. In thefunnel 103, anelectron gun 105 is incorporated in theneck 103a. An electron beam EB emitted by theelectron gun 105 is deflected under control of adeflection yoke 106 and strikes thephosphor layer 104. In thewindow 201a of thecasing 201, afilter 202 made of a resin is provided for protection of thefront panel 102 of theflat CRT 100 and for contrast control. - In the
picture display device 200, the electron beam EB emitted by theelectron gun 105 strikes thephosphor layer 104 to cause thephosphor layer 104 to be excited for light emission, and thereby a picture ray R is produced. The picture ray R is observed as a picture from in front, through thefront panel 102 and thefilter 202. - As noted above, in the related art
picture display device 200, thefilter 202 is provided in thewindow 201a of thecasing 201. Such configuration has some problems, which are explained below. First, as shown in Fig. 1, an extraneous ray R1 is reflected by the front surface of the filter 202 (i.e., the interface of thefilter 202 and the atmosphere) and by the back surface of the filter 202 (i.e., the interface of thefilter 202 and the inside of the casing 201). The reflected rays R10 and R11 cause what is called ghost images of the surroundings over the picture produced on thefront panel 102, preventing one from seeing the picture clearly. In addition, in theflat CRT 100 itself, the extraneous ray passes through thefilter 202 and is reflected by the front surface of thefront panel 102 and by the back surface of the front panel 102 (i.e., the interface between thefront panel 102 and the inside of the flat CRT 100). The reflected rays R12 and R13 cause a deterioration in the contrast of the picture produced on thefront panel 102, resulting in poor sharpness. - The invention has been made to overcome the foregoing problems. An object of the invention is to provide a flat CRT capable of suppressing occurrences of reflected rays of extraneous rays to provide clear pictures and a picture display device using the flat CRT.
- A flat CRT according to the invention comprises reflected ray reducing means for reducing the quantity of light of a reflected ray which occurs when an extraneous ray passing into the display panel is reflected by the display panel or by the fluorescent screen. Specifically, the reflected ray reducing means is a light-attenuation film which is provided on the front surface of the display panel, and reduces the quantity of light of a transmitted ray occurring when the extraneous ray is transmitted through the display panel, and reduces the quantity of light of a reflected ray occurring when the transmitted ray is reflected by the fluorescent screen. In another alternative, the reflected ray reducing means is an anti-reflection film which prevents the extraneous ray from being reflected by the display panel.
- Another flat CRT according to the invention is one wherein the display panel has a reflected ray reducing function of reducing the quantity of light of a reflected ray which occurs when an extraneous ray passing into the display panel is reflected by the display panel or by the fluorescent screen.
- A picture display device according to the invention comprises a casing and a flat CRT which comprises a display panel arranged facing a fluorescent screen and is installed in the casing, wherein the flat CRT comprises reflected ray reducing means for reducing the quantity of light of a reflected ray which occurs when an extraneous ray passing into the display panel is reflected by the display panel or by the fluorescent screen.
- In a flat CRT or a picture display device, by the reflected ray reducing means, the quantity of light of a reflected ray which occurs when an extraneous ray passing into the display panel is reflected by the display panel or by the fluorescent screen is reduced. This makes a picture clearer.

- Preferred embodiments of the invention will now be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
- As shown in Fig. 2, a picture display device 1 (for example, a monitor of a front-door intercom) according to a first embodiment of the invention comprises a reflection-mode
flat CRT 10 incorporated in acasing 2. In thepicture display device 1, the flat CRT 10 produces a picture in awindow 2a for image display. On top of thecasing 2, positioned is ahandset 3 for sending and receiving audio information. - Referring to Fig. 3, the
flat CRT 10 comprises ascreen panel 11, a front panel (a display panel) 12 and afunnel 13 having aneck 13a, which conjointly form a three-part structure defining a flat glass bulb. Thescreen panel 11 is made of, for example, clear glass and is curved in form. Thefront panel 12 is also made of clear glass. In thefunnel 13, anelectron gun 15 is incorporated in theneck 13a. An electron beam EB emitted by theelectron gun 15 is deflected under control of adeflection yoke 16. - Over the inner wall of the
screen panel 11, i.e., the surface facing thefront panel 12, provided is an electrode layer, although not shown. The electrode layer is deposited by depositing, for example, aluminum (A1). The electrode layer also serves as a reflecting layer. The electrode layer is coated with aphosphor layer 14 to define an available picture area. Thephosphor layer 14 is comprised of a fluorescent material such as yttrium oxide sulfate (Y2O2S). - Over the inner surface of the
funnel 13, provided is a conductive film, although not shown. The conductive film is comprised of indium-tin oxide (ITO), i.e., a film of a mixture of oxides of indium and tin. The electrode layer deposited over the inner wall of thescreen panel 11 is electrically coupled to a voltage application terminal, although not shown, through the conductive film. The configuration as noted above is the same as that of a flat CRT according to the related art. - In the
flat CRT 10 according to the embodiment, a light-attenuation film 17 having a light-attenuating action is attached to the outer surface of thefront panel 12 using, for example, acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive. The light-attenuation film 17 is comprised of an achromatic (i.e., gray) polyethylene terephthalate (PET) material. The configuration of the light-attenuation film is not limited to a single-layered structure; for example, the light-attenuation film may have a laminated structure in which a coating made of a metal oxide such as chromium oxide is laid over a colorless, clear film. The light-attenuation film is arranged facing thewindow 2a provided in thecasing 2. - In the
flat CRT 10 according to the embodiment, the electron beam EB emitted by theelectron gun 15 passes through the open end of thefunnel 13, and is accelerated toward the electrode layer of thescreen panel 11, and strikes thephosphor layer 14. This causes thephosphor layer 14 to be excited for light emission. The light emitted is reflected by the reflecting layer, i.e., the electrode layer, and thereby a picture ray R is produced. The picture ray R produces a picture for display, through thefront panel 12 and the light-attenuation film 17. - Description now moves to the action of the light-
attenuation film 17, referring to Figs. 4A and 4B. - In the
flat CRT 100 according to the related art, as shown in Fig. 4A, the extraneous ray R1 is transmitted through thefront panel 102, and is reflected by thephosphor layer 104. The reflected ray R2 is transmitted through thefront panel 102 again to be released to the outside of theflat CRT 100. The reflected ray R2 causes a phenomenon in which black grows fainter, preventing one from seeing clearly a picture produced on thefront panel 102. - In contrast, as shown in Fig. 4B, in the
flat CRT 10 according to the embodiment, the extraneous ray R1 is attenuated by the light-attenuation film 17 before arriving at thefront panel 12, resulting in a reduction in the quantity of light of the extraneous ray R1 transmitted through thefront panel 12. The transmitted ray R1a strikes thephosphor layer 14. The transmitted ray R1a is reflected by thephosphor layer 14, and the reflected ray R3a is transmitted through thefront panel 12 again. Then, the reflected ray R3a is transmitted through the light-attenuation film 17, which further reduces the quantity of light of the reflected ray R3a. Thus, the transmitted ray R3b having less quantity of light is released to the outside. - Let the transmittance of the light-
attenuation film 17 according to the embodiment be t %, and let the quantity of light of the extraneous ray R1 be L. Then, the quantity of light of the transmitted ray R1a and the reflected ray R3a is equal to Lt, and the quantity of light of the transmitted ray R3b is equal to Lt2. Further, let the quantity of light of the picture ray R (see Fig. 3) be 1. Then, the quantity of light of the extraneous ray R1 transmitted through thefront panel 12 and through the light-attenuation film 17 is equal to lt. Thus, to illustrate, for the conditions where L=1 and t=50%, the quantity of light reduced when the picture ray R is transmitted through thefront panel 12 and through the light-attenuation film 17 is one-half (1/2) the quantity of light reduced when the extraneous ray R1 is reflected by thephosphor layer 14 and then released to the outside through the front panel 12 (that is, the transmitted ray R3b). - As described above, in the
flat CRT 10 according to the embodiment, the light-attenuation film 17 is attached directly to the front surface of thefront panel 12. Therefore, the extraneous ray R1 passing into theflat CRT 10 is reduced in the quantity of light by the light-attenuation film 17 when passing through thefront panel 12 and when reflected by thephosphor layer 14. Obviously, the quantity of light of the picture ray R is reduced by the light-attenuation film 17, but the quantity of light reduced is small relatively to that of the extraneous ray R1. Thus, a picture observed becomes clearer as compared to the related art. - In the embodiment, the light-
attenuation film 17 is attached to thefront panel 12. However, instead of attachment of the light-attenuation film, thefront panel 12 may be made of a glass material having a light-attenuating action, for example, a glass material referred to as tint or dark tint having transmittance of the order of 55 % or less per unit thickness (i.e., 10.16 mm). The effect obtained in this case is the same as described above. - Furthermore, it is possible to provide not only the light-
attenuation film 17 but also the adhesive for attaching the light-attenuation film 17 to thefront panel 12 with a light-attenuating action by coloring the adhesive for attaching the light-attenuation film 17 to thefront panel 12. - In the embodiment, as shown in Fig. 5B, an anti-reflection film (an anti-reflection (AR) filter) 18 is attached to the outer surface of the
front panel 12. Otherwise, the configuration in the embodiment is the same as that in the first embodiment, and like reference characters refer to like parts and the description thereof will be omitted. - As the
anti-reflection film 18, one disclosed in, for example, Publication of Japanese Unexamined Patent Application No. Hei 11-250805 or Publication of Japanese Unexamined Patent Application No. Hei 10-187056 may be of use; specifically, one in which a metal film made of, for example, chromium (Cr) is deposited by, for example, sputtering over a plastic film base material such as a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film and then a dielectric film (SiO2) is deposited over the metal film. Theanti-reflection film 18 is attached to thefront panel 12 using, for example, acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive. Preferably, the film thickness of the metal film of theanti-reflection film 18 is selected to be one-quarter or an odd multiple of one-quarter the wavelength of the light in terms of the optical film thickness so that the transmittance will be small. As used herein, the optical film thickness is given by the product of the refractive index of the coating material and the film thickness of the coating. - Reference is now made to Figs. 5A and 5B, explaining the action of the
anti-reflection film 18. - In the
flat CRT 100 according to the related art, as shown in Fig. 5A, the extraneous ray R1 passing into theflat CRT 100 is reflected by the front surface of the front panel 102 (i.e., the interface between thefront panel 102 and the atmosphere) and by the back surface of the front panel 102 (i.e., the interface between thefront panel 102 and the inside of the flat CRT 100). Reflected rays R4 and R5 prevent one from seeing clearly a picture produced on thefront panel 102. - In contrast, in the embodiment, as shown in Fig. 5B, the extraneous ray R1 is reflected by the front surface of the front panel 12 (i.e., the interface between the
front panel 12 and the atmosphere) and the back surface of the front panel 12 (i.e., the interface between thefront panel 12 and the inside of the flat CRT 10). Thus, reflected rays R6 and R7 occur. As distinct from the case of Fig. 5A, in the embodiment, theanti-reflection film 18 is provided over the front surface of thefront panel 12. Therefore, the quantity of light of the reflected ray R6 reflected by the front surface of thefront panel 12 is reduced as compared to the case of the reflected ray R4 in the related art. - As described above, in the embodiment, since the
anti-reflection film 18 is provided over the front surface of thefront panel 12, the reflected ray of the extraneous ray R1 reflected by thefront panel 12 is reduced. Therefore, a picture observed becomes clearer, as compared to the related art. - In the embodiment, the light-
attenuation film 17 or theanti-reflection film 18 is attached to the front surface of thefront panel 12. However, as shown in Fig. 6, an anti-reflection/light-attenuation film 19 having both an anti-reflective action and a light-attenuating action may be attached to thefront panel 12. As the anti-reflection/light-attenuation film 19, one having a laminated structure of the light-attenuation film and the anti-reflection film as described above may be of use. - In the embodiment, the extraneous ray R1 is reflected in part by the anti-reflection/light-
attenuation film 19 and by thefront panel 12, and thereby a reflected ray R8 occurs. The remaining extraneous ray R1 transmitted through the anti-reflection/light-attenuation film 19, i.e., a transmitted ray R14, strikes thephosphor layer 14. As explained in the second embodiment, the quantity of light of the reflected ray R8 is reduced as compared with the case without the anti-reflection/light-attenuation film 19. Also, as explained in the first embodiment, the quantity of light of the transmitted ray R14 is reduced, and therefore the quantity of light of a ray which is reflected by thephosphor layer 14 and is transmitted again through thefront panel 12 is also reduced. Thus, a picture observed becomes clearer, as is the case in the embodiment described above. - In general, the
front panel 12 as mentioned above is formed by cutting a glass plate. Therefore, the cutting process or assembly of flat CRTs often causes scratches on the surfaces of thefront panel 12. If thefront panel 12 has been scratched before the above-mentioned light-attenuation film 17, theanti-reflection film 18 or the anti-reflection/light-attenuation film 19 is attached to the front surface of thefront panel 12, the scratches prevent one from seeing clearly a picture produced on thefront panel 12. Scratched front panels or flat CRTs having scratched front panels are disposed of without being used as final products, resulting in the possibility of increasing waste and the manufacturing cost of flat CRTs. The following description relates to a flat CRT capable of making a picture observed clearer and making scratches inconspicuous. - Referring to Fig. 7, in a
flat CRT 10a according to a third embodiment of the invention, the light-attenuation film 17 as explained related to the first embodiment is attached to thefront panel 12a having ascratch 21, with anadhesive film 20 in between. Otherwise, the configuration of the embodiment is the same as the first embodiment. - The
adhesive film 20 is provided for attaching the light-attenuation film 17 to thefront panel 12a. At the same time, if thefront panel 12a has ascratch 21, theadhesive film 20 fills in thescratch 21. Theadhesive film 20 is made of, for example, a UV-setting resin which sets when irradiated with ultraviolet radiation. Preferably, the material of the UV-setting resin is radical polymerization type and mainly contains photopolymerizing oligomer, photopolymerizing monomer, photopolymerization initiator. Theadhesive film 20 is made of such a material, and thereby thescratch 21 is filled in and the light-attenuation film 17 is preferably attached to thefront panel 12a. - Preferably, the refractive index of the
adhesive film 20 is substantially the same as the refractive index of thefront panel 12a. More preferably, the difference between the refractive index of theadhesive film 20 after setting and the refractive index of thefront panel 12a is equal to or smaller than 0.8 %. Theadhesive film 20 has such a refractive index, and thereby thescratch 21 is made inconspicuous. - Preferably, the viscosity coefficient of the material of the
adhesive film 20 is set to a suitable value so that theadhesive film 20 can fill in the groove of thescratch 21. Specifically, if the light-attenuation film 17 is made of a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film having a refractive index of 1.56 to 1.65, it is preferable that the viscosity coefficient of theadhesive film 20 is equal to or smaller than 2 Pa·s. - The light-
attenuation film 17 is attached to thefront panel 12a in the following manner. First, theadhesive film 20 is attached to one surface of the light-attenuation film 17. Next, with the surface of theadhesive film 20 contacted with thefront panel 12a, theadhesive film 20 is irradiated with ultraviolet radiation through the light-attenuation film 17. Thus, theadhesive film 20 cures, and the light-attenuation film 17 is attached to the front surface of thefront panel 12a. - In the
flat CRT 100a according to the related art, as shown in Fig. 8A, the extraneous ray R1 is transmitted through thescratch 121 on thefront panel 102a, and is reflected by thephosphor layer 104. The reflected ray R2 prevents one from seeing clearly a picture produced on thefront panel 102a. The extraneous ray R1 is also reflected by the area with thescratch 121, and a reflected ray R15 is released to the outside. The reflected ray R15 makes thescratch 121 conspicuous, which detracts from the appearance of a product having theflat CRT 100a or prevents one from seeing clearly a picture produced on thefront panel 102a. - In contrast, in the
flat CRT 10a according to the embodiment, as shown in Fig. 8B, the quantity of light of the extraneous ray R1 is reduced by the light-attenuation film 17 before the extraneous ray R1 arrives at thescratch 21 on thefront panel 12a, and thereby the quantity of light of the extraneous ray R1 transmitted through is reduced. Thescratch 21 is filled in by theadhesive film 20 while the refractive index of theadhesive film 20 is equal to that of thefront panel 12a. Therefore, the transmitted light R1a is transmitted through theadhesive film 20 and through thescratch 21 without being reflected by the area with thescratch 21, and strikes thephosphor layer 14. As explained in the first embodiment, the transmitted ray R1a is reflected by thephosphor layer 14. The reflected ray R3a is transmitted through thefront panel 12a and through theadhesive film 20. Then, the reflected ray R3a is transmitted through the light-attenuation film 17 again, and thereby the quantity of light of the reflected ray R3a is further reduced. Thus, the reflected ray R3a with less quantity of light is released to the outside. - As described above, in the embodiment, the light-
attenuation film 17 is attached to the front surface of thefront panel 12a with theadhesive film 20 in between. This causes a reduction in the reflected light which occurs when the extraneous ray R1 is reflected by thephosphor layer 14. Also, since thescratch 21 is filled in by theadhesive film 20 having a refractive index approximately equal to that of thefront panel 12a, thescratch 21 becomes inconspicuous. This makes a picture observed clearer, as compared with the related art, while enabling the utilization of thefront panel 12a with thescratch 21 as a final product, resulting in the effective use of components and a reduction in the manufacturing cost of flat CRTs. In the related art practice, scratched front panels made of glass have been disposed of because they are not used as components of other products. However, the embodiment enables such front panels to be used, resulting in a reduction in waste while achieving the effective use of resources. - The
adhesive film 20 is not limited to UV-setting resins but may be comprised of other materials. - In the embodiment, first, the
adhesive film 20 is attached to the light-attenuation film 17 and then the light-attenuation film 17 is attached to thefront panel 12a. However, it is possible to attach theadhesive film 20 to the front surface of thefront panel 12a and then attach the light-attenuation film 17 thereto. - In the embodiment, the light-
attenuation film 17 is attached to thefront panel 12a having thescratch 21, with theadhesive film 20 in between. However, it is obvious that the light-attenuation film 17 is attached to the front panel with no scratches, with theadhesive film 20 in between. - In addition, in the embodiment, the light-
attenuation film 17 is attached to thefront panel 12a. However, the anti-reflection film or the anti-reflection/light-attenuation film as explained in the second embodiment may be used. - In the first, second and third embodiments as described above, the light-
attenuation film 17 or theanti-reflection film 18 is attached to the front surface of thefront panel filter 202 as used in the related art is no longer required for thecasing 2, it becomes possible to reduce the thickness of the casing as compared with the related art, which enables further cost reduction. - Clearly, in addition to the light-attenuation film or the anti-reflection film as described above, it is possible to lay over these films a protection film for preventing explosion disclosed in, for example, Publication of Japanese Unexamined Patent Application No. Sho 52-87352 or Publication of Japanese Unexamined Patent Application No. Sho 52-87353.
- The invention has been described by referring to the embodiments above. However, the invention is not limited to the embodiments above but various changes and modifications are possible. For example, the above-described embodiments relate to examples where the invention is applied to a reflection-mode flat CRT. However, the invention is also applicable to a transmission-mode flat CRT as shown in Fig. 9. The basic configuration of the transmission-mode flat CRT is the same as that of the reflection-mode flat CRT as shown in Fig. 2, except that no reflecting film is provided over the back surface of the
phosphor layer 14 and that thefront panel 12 in Fig. 2 serves as aback panel 12b in Fig. 9. In the transmission-mode flat CRT, the light-attenuation film 17 as explained in the first embodiment is attached to the outer surface of thescreen panel 11. The electron beam EB emitted by theelectron gun 15 strikes thephosphor screen 14, which causes thephosphor screen 14 to be excited for light emission. The light emitted, i.e., the picture ray R, is observed as a picture through thescreen panel 11 and through the light-attenuation film 17. The action and effects of the light-attenuation film 17 are the same as those explained related to the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted. - In the first and second embodiments, a film such as the light-
attenuation film 17 is attached to the front panel. However, it is possible to deposit a film having the same functions as the film, over the surface of the front panel by sputtering or deposition. - The embodiments as described above relate to an example where the invention is applied to a monitor of a front-door intercom. However, it is clear that the invention is also applicable to other picture display devices such as portable television sets or car-mounted monitors.
- Obviously many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in the light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.
