Description of the invention () Background of the invention (1) Field of invention: This invention is related to the color screen of the cathode ray tube and the flat panel display and the manufacturing method thereof. (2) Known skills: · The color screen used in a cathode ray tube is basically composed of many small areas, each of which is covered by a layer of phosphor powder. Generally, three kinds of phosphors that can produce different colors are used on the screen, which can produce blue, red, and green phosphors; and each small area on the screen constitutes a sub-pixel of the display (sub-pixel ), The shape can be dot-shaped or long sub-pixel areas do not overlap each other. In order to prevent light from escaping from the interval between sub-pixel areas, this interval is often filled with a layer of anti-reflection and A barrier-resistant material, this barrier layer is called a black matrix. If the technology of making sub-pixels is accurate enough to make the distance between different areas very small, then no black matrix is needed. Although this tightly deposited area can be achieved by using photolithography technology, it is only here. Only when it has cheap economic benefits will it have the importance of its application. There are many different methods for depositing the phosphor layer. The most commonly used method is to apply a slurry or dry powder particles to a sticky adhesive layer; no matter what method is used, in the phosphor The additives such as binders in the slurry or the adhesive layer used for dry powder must be removed before sealing. If this removal step is not completed, these additives will continue to escape in the void The effect of parallel voiding is reduced, and the more commonly used method of removing additives is to heat it in air or oxygen. As mentioned earlier, when tight control of the phosphor area is required, photoetching is the preferred method of use. One method of use is to deposit a barrier layer on a pre-deposited phosphor layer. The barrier layer is then photoetched to form an offset printing method that resists subsequent etching. The adhesion layer is etched into blocks that are isolated from each other, and then dusting, sedimentation, or the like is used. The powder particles can be applied to the areas separately. For the above method, in the early technology, a separate photo-etching screen has been used in the process of making different phosphors. For three phosphor areas The scale of the table paper is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (2 丨 0X297 public envy) I .---- ^ ---- installation ---.-- 1 order ---- 丨 丨 line • 1 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs V. Invention Instructions (If only a single photoetched net cover is needed, this method will have a great Economic benefit, an important point of the invention This production method is provided. Early technical design can take the method proposed by Modshita et al. As an example (US Patent No. 5081394 'January 1992). This method describes the production method of a color picture tube with a black matrix. A shadow mask is used in the method to define the location of different phosphor regions. Brief description of the invention An object of the present invention is to provide a method for making a cathode ray tube color screen, the accuracy of this method is not It is less than the current commonly used manufacturing method, and its cost can be cheaper. A further object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a picture tube that can be used with or without a black matrix at the same time. The above goal can be achieved by using a single light Etching the photomask to define multiple patterns is achieved. This single photomask is used to determine the different locations of different phosphor layers; the photomask used in the traditional photo-etching f sequence is completely opaque or completely opaque. The pattern area of light is composed of, and the mask used in the present invention includes not completely transparent or not completely The area of light, this area has the intensity of dividing the light into gray scales. After accurately controlling the exposure and development time, the positive or negative photoresist exposed to the light passing through the area with strong penetration of the mask can be It is selectively removed. When a part of the photoresist is removed, the adhesion layer under it can be exposed. The exposed area can be used as the area for the phosphor particles. The above steps can be repeated It is carried out in order to complete different phosphors in sequence. Brief description of the drawings Figures 1 to 6 are schematic diagrams of the successive steps of the method of making a color screen in the present invention. Detailed description of the invention The design of the present invention maintains the photoetching method Accuracy, and because only one photoprinted mask and one exposure are used to form three (or more) different sub-pixel regions, the cost of this photo-etching method is reduced.

Description of the invention () As shown in Figure 1, the production process starts from a substrate 1 (usually glass) with a suitable surface This surface is usually the inner surface of the cathode ray tube panel. A transparent conductor such as indium-tin-oxide can be selectively plated on the surface, and then a layer of black opaque material is deposited here On the surface, this opaque layer is developed and etched to form a black matrix 2, the schematic diagram of which is shown in FIG. After the formation of the black matrix, a layer of resin (such as acrylic resin) adhesion material 3 is deposited. This adhesion material covers the surface of the substrate and the black matrix. The preferred method for forming the adhesion layer can be spin coating or laminating. ) Method, and other methods that can produce a uniform layer of about 10um to 50um can also be used. After the adhesion layer is applied, a layer of resin (such as Novolac resin) is covered with positive light by spin coating or lamination. Resistance 4, and get the structure shown in Figure 2. Positive photoresist has the characteristics of exposure and development, and will not dissolve in the developing solution (the developing solution is a solution such as sodium hydroxide) before being exposed to a suitable light source (usually near ultraviolet light), but after exposure It can be dissolved in the developer. The increase in the solubility of the photoresist is not determined by the presence or absence of exposure, but by the increase of the exposure time (this time is the time after a minimum induction period), so For a photoresist that accepts a short time exposure, the time required to complete development (ie, dissolution) is longer than a photoresist that accepts a longer time exposure. Traditionally, the photomask used in the photoetching process is composed of some completely transparent or completely opaque graphic areas, and the photomask used in the present invention includes neither completely transparent nor completely opaque. Of the area. In other words, it has areas that divide the light into gray-scale intensity. Generally speaking, as far as the _phosphor powder layer made in the present invention is concerned, it has a specific light intensity in the reticle; therefore, generally speaking, except for completely opaque areas , On the photomask, three different light intensity areas are needed to match three different phosphors. This 3¾¾ line intensity is labeled as fully transparent, fully transparent, and slightly light. Light transmission (Slightly transparent). These three special classifications are equivalent to the penetration rate of the following: J. Complete light transmission can penetrate 100% of incident light _ heavy light transmission can penetrate about 60% to 7 〇% of the incident light is slightly light and can penetrate about 30% to 40% of the incident light. Referring to FIG. 3, the positive photoresist layer 4 is exposed to a suitable amount of light through a photomask (not shown). Control between half a minute and one minute, under this condition, the photoresist area 5 exposed by the completely transparent area of the photomask becomes soluble, and the photoresist exposed by other parts of the photomask 1 2 At this time there is only a slight dissolution: install ---; --- order --- line (please read first (Please fill in this page for more details) 1 2 The paper size is in accordance with Chinese National Standard (CNS) A1 (210X297mm) A7 B7 Centralized Bureau of Ministry of Economic Affairs Employee consumption cooperation du printing 5. Invention description () degree; if Finely control the development time, for example, between one minute and one and a half, the #resistance 5 area can be dissolved and removed and the area of the photoresist 4 is left. The result is as shown in FIG. 3. The photoresist area 5 After removing, the adhesion layer 3 underneath is exposed, and the exposed area is the area where the first of three different phosphors (such as red and other colors) are to be deposited. The phosphor should be deposited on the surface of the area Many standard methods can be used. These methods include powder coating, that is, blowing phosphor particles onto the surface of the adhesion layer through a suitable nozzle, or precipitation, that is, precipitation of phosphor powder suspended in a condensed fluid No matter what method is used, the most important thing is that the phosphor powder has good adhesion to the adhesion layer 3 but cannot be attached to the photoresist layer 4 at the same time, so that the fluorescent light that is not attached to the adhesion layer 3 can then be attached. Blown away After the red phosphor layer 6 (for example) is deposited, the structure will be as shown in Fig. 4. . After the phosphor layer 6 is completed, this structure is directly developed. Under careful control of the development time (about one minute to one and a half), the remaining photoresist layer 4 is in the heavily transmissive area. The photoresist will be selectively removed and expose the area of the adhesion layer 3 to which the second phosphor (for example, green) adheres. The second phosphor (marked as 7 in Figure 5) is made according to the first The phosphor layer is made on the surface of the attachment area in the same way. After repeating the same steps again, the final phosphor layer can be made (for example, blue, marked as 8 in Figure 5). The completed overall structure will be as shown in Figure 5, just like the previous method, this structure is directly Development is carried out, and the development time is between about one minute and one and a half minutes. Under this condition, the remaining photoresist layer 4 is removed in the light transmission region. At the time of this step, a layer of lacquer (such as acryl emulsion) can be selectively plated. The function of this glaze layer is to flatten the surface to make the next step of the thin aluminum layer (thickness about 15) 〇〇Α) vapor deposition on this surface to get better efficiency, this aluminum layer is an anode for knocking electrons; Finally, all substances that may outgas, especially adhesion materials, slurry condensate ( If used) and glaze are removed by sintering in air or oxygen. This sintering is completed at a temperature of about 450 degrees to 470 degrees for 60 minutes to 120 minutes. The final result is shown in Figure 6 Jin Shi. The second feature of the present invention is that it is not necessary to use a black matrix. When reducing the manufacturing cost is the first consideration and there is a slight loss in the contrast of the display (due to the lack of black matrix), the method of the present invention is It can be applied to the production of black matrix-free display screens, and the production process is the same as the production method with black matrix structure described above. ___5____ Standards are applicable " Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 rye 1 ": Packing --- ^ ---.-- order ------ line (please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page)
