Definitions

  • a light-absorbing matrix is produced by under-exposing a film of light-sensitive material by projecting light through an apertured mask of the tube incident on the film from a small-area light source, developing the underexposed film, using the developed film to produce a lightabsorbing matrix, and then filling the holes in the matrix with phosphor material.
  • This invention relates to a novel method for printing a negative-tolerance-matrix screen structure for a cathoderay tube.
  • Color television picture tubes which include a lightabsorbing matrix as a part of the luminescent screen structure have been described previously, for example in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,842,697 to F. G. Bingley and in 3,146,- 368 to J. P. Fiore et al. These patents described television picture tubes of the apertured-mask type in which a lightabsorbing matrix is located on the inner surface of the viewing window of the tube. lIn this structure, the matrix has a multiplicity of holes therein, each trio of holes being registered with an aperture in the mask, and each phosphor element filling one hole in the matrix.
  • the mask aperture defines an electron spot during tube operation which is smaller than the hole in the matrix.
  • the negativetolerance-type-matrix screen structure the mask aperture defines an electron spot during tube operation that is larger than the hole in the matrix.
  • One form of reverse printing comprises coating the inner surface of the viewing Window of a cathode-ray tube with a film of polymeric material whose solubility is altered when it is exposed to light, and then positioning the mask in spaced relation with respect to the coated surface.
  • the film is subjected to a normal exposure or an overexposure by projecting the required amount of light through the apertures of the mask incident upon the film from a small area light source having an equivalent circular diameter of about 0.130 inch or larger.
  • the film is developed by removing the more soluble regions of the film. At this point in the process, each retained film region is the same shape as but larger than the mask aperture used to expose it.
  • the developed film is overcoated with a layer of light-absorbing material.
  • a. light-absorbing matrix comprised of a light-absorbing layer having therein an array of holes, each hole being the same shape as but larger than the mask aperture used to expose it.
  • arrays of differently light-emitting phosphor materials are deposited in the open areas or holes of the matrix by projection exposure through the mask using a small area light source.
  • the mask is fabricated with undersized apertures and, later, the mask is etched to enlarge the apertures to their full size after the phosphor materials are deposited.
  • the mask is fabricated with full-sized apertures which are lined with another material prior to the photographic steps and then, after the photographic steps are completed, the lining is removed from the apertures.
  • the mask is made with full-sized apertures therein and with a temporary mask attached thereto, the temporary mask having under-sized apertures in register with the fullsized apertures in the permanent mask. After the photographic steps are completed, the temporary mask is removed from the permanent mask. In each of these prior processes, it is necessary to prepare a special mask structure prior to the photographic steps and then to alter that mask structure after the photographic steps are completed.
  • both the matrix and the phosphor elements may be printed directly from the final or permanent apertured mask without aperture enlargement or other alteration to the mask subsequent to the photographic steps.
  • both the matrix and the phosphor elements may be printed by a reverse printing process without alteration to the film regions which are intermediate in the process.
  • the novel method may be adequately controlled in factory operations to produce a relatively high yield of useful screen structures.
  • FIG. 1 is a. flow-sheet diagram of a preferred method for practicing the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a graph showing the relationship between the amount of print down versus printing sensitivity for one set of fabricating conditions.
  • FIG. 3 is a graph illustrating the relationship of the amount of print down versus printing sensitivity for a second set of fabricating conditions.
  • FIG. 4 is a graph illustrating the relationship of the amount of print down versus printing sensitivity for a third set of fabricating conditions.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates several steps in a preferred method for practicing the invention.
  • the inner surface of the viewing window of a cathode-ray tube is cleaned in the usual way and then coated with a film of photosensitive polymeric material as indicated in FIG. 1(a).
  • the film is prepared by depositing on the surface a quantity of a liquid mixture comprised of about 3-weightpercent polyvinyl alcohol, 0.75-weight-percent acrylic emulsion, about 0.25-weight-percent titanium dioxide, about 0.5-weightpercent sodium dichromate, about 0.012- weight-percent wetting agent, and the balance water.
  • the viscosity of the mixture is about 11 to 14 centipoises.
  • the viewing window is rotated and tilted so that the liquid mixture spreads evenly over and coats the surface.
  • heat is applied so that the water in the coating is evaporated, thereby forming a dry film of about 0.1 milligram per square centimeter (mg/cm2).
  • the next step is to under-expose the film by projecting light from a small area light source through the mask apertures as indicated in FIG. 1( b).
  • the apertured mask of the tube is positioned above the film, and the assembly is placed in a lighthouse.
  • a lighthouse is an apparatus designed to expose the photosensitive film on the viewing window to a pattern of film-hardening light in the correct positions and dimensions, as is well known in the art of color picture tube making. Suitable lighthouses and their operation are described in U.S. patent applications Ser. No. 39,269, filed May 21, 1970, by N. R. Goldstein, and Ser. No. 844,852, filed July 21, 1969, by Harry R. Frey, now Pat. No. 3,592,112.
  • the mask has substantially circular apertures therein with a diameter of about 15 mils at the center thereof and about 13 mils at the corners thereof, and a center-to-center spacing between apertures of about 28 mils near the center of the mask.
  • Light for exposing the hn is produced by a 1000- watt BH-6 mercury vapor lamp.
  • the light from the lamp is passed through a light pipe or collimator and emerges from a tip, referred to herein as the small area light source, which has an equivalent ciricular diameter of about 0.080 inch (80 mils).
  • the exposure through the mask is repeated three times, each time with the light incident at a slightly different angle so that the film is hardened in groups of three dots from each aperture, as in the usual method of aperturedmask-screen manufacture.
  • Each circular area has a graded hardening of about 2 mils wide within and adjacent its periphery.
  • the assembly is removed from the lighthouse and the mask is separated from the viewing window.
  • the exposed film is subjected to flushing with a forced spray of water for about 30 seconds in order to remove the more soluble portions of the film while retaining the less soluble film portions in place as indicated in FIG. l(c).
  • the viewing window is rinsed with water and then dried.
  • the viewing-window surface carries an adherent stencil comprised of bare or open areas of the window surface and of dots of hardened polymeric film coated on the surface. The dots are about 13.5 mils in diameter at the center.
  • the stencil is now overcoated with a composition comprised of light-absorbing pigment particles, as indicated in FIG. 1(d).
  • the overcoating is produced by applying to the stencil a slurry containing about 4.0 weight-percent colloidal graphite in water and then drying the layer. It is desirable to include a trace of wetting agent in the overcoating slurry in order to facilitate the spreading of the slurry over the stencil.
  • the overcoating is dried thoroughly for abou 1.5 minutes with the aid of heat. After drying, the overcoating adheres both to the dots and to the bare areas of the window surface.
  • the digestive agent is an aqueous solution containing about 5- weight-percent hydrogen peroxide.
  • the solution may be applied to the overcoating as a spray under pressure.
  • the hydrogen peroxide penetrates the overcoating and the dots, causing the dots of hardened polymeric ma terial to swell and soften.
  • Subsequent flushing with water removes the softened dots together with the immediately overlying portions of the overcoating, but leaves behind and in place that portion of the overcoating which is adhered directly to the surface of the viewing window at the open areas of the stencil, as indicated in FIG. 1(e).
  • the product is a viewing -window carrying a light-absorbing (black) matrix having a multiplicity of circular holes therethrough about 13.5 mils in diameter at the center and somewhat smaller in the corners thereof.
  • the light-absorbing I(black) matrix is now rinsed with Water and dried for about 4 minutes with the aid of heat. Then, the viewing window is processed in the usual way to photodeposit successfully red-emitting phosphor dots, green-emitting phosphor dots and blue-emitting phosphor dots in the holes of the matrix, as indicated in FIG. 1U).
  • the dots of a particular emission characteristic are deposited by coating the matrix with a photosensitive phosphor composition, and then exposing the coating from a small area light source by the usual photographic technique using the same aperture mask in the same position as a photographic master in the process. It is preferred to use a somewhat larger light source, preferably 0.100 inch mils) in diameter. This produces somewhat larger phosphor dots than the corresponding matrix holes, adding tolerance to the process, but not so large as to overalp the phosphor dots into adjacent matrix holes.
  • the luminescent-screen structure may now be processed in the usual way to apply a reflective metal layer on top of the phosphor dots land the black matrix.
  • the screen structure is baked and assembled with the aperture mask into a cathode-ray tube in the usual way.
  • a suitable process for filming and metallizing the screen structure is described in U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 693,058 led Dec. 26, 1967 and 760,364 filed Sept. 17, 1968, now Pat. Nos. 3,582,389 and 3,582,390, by Theodore A. Saulnier.
  • overcoating material and its application to the stencil and the subsequent graphic-image development may be the same as is disclosed in the above-cited patent.
  • Some methods foi producing an overcoating of light-absorbing particles are disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 887,267 filed Dec. 29, 1969, now Pat. No. 3,652,323 by B. K. Smith.
  • the novel method differs from the process as disclosed in the above-cited Pat. No. 3,558,310 in the discovery of a set of conditions which permit the direct photographic deposition of a light-absorbing matrix having therein holes of reduced size and of the phosphor elements filling the matrix holes using a mask having therein the full-sized lapertures used during the operation of the tube.
  • R is the diameter of a matrix hole and B the diameter of the mask -aperture used to print it (assuming that the apertures are circular).
  • Overexposure is defined as an exposure which gives a matrix hole larger than the mask aperture from which it was printed; i.e. R/B is 1.0.
  • Underexposure is defined as an exposure giving a matrix hole smaller than the mask aperture from which it was printed; i.e. R/B is l.0.
  • the print down is the difference between R and A for a matrix hole produced by underexposure.
  • the exposure is the lamount of light used to expose the film.
  • the relative value of the exposure is product obtained by multiplying the relative value for the average brightness of the light field and by the duration or time of the exposure. Thus, a brighter light source may require a shorter exposure time.
  • a normal exposure is easily determined for ⁇ any particular exposure apparatus. From this, further trials with decreasing exposures result in greater print down, until the exposure is insufficient to produce the necessary adherence to retain the stencil on the surface of the viewing Window.
  • the useful range of exposure conditions for producing commercial-quality negativetolerance matrix-screen structures using the novel method exists when the printing sensitivity is less than 1.5.
  • Printing sensitivity is the ratio of the percentage change in matrix transmission for a percent change in exposure. When the printing sensitivity is greater than 1.5, poor matrix quality results in which mottle and adherence are problems. Mottle is the overall appearance of blotchiness of the screen to a viewer, which results from random variations in the amount of light-absorbing material deposited.
  • the thickness of the light-sensitive film is important with respect to the factors of exposure and adherence.
  • the thickness of the film is best controlled by controlling the viscosity of the film coating composition, All viscosities disclosed herein are at 25 C. Too high a viscosity for the amount of print down desired results in poor adherence. Too low a viscosity results in bridging between stencil dots (and matrix holes), and too great a printing sensitivity to roughness and uneven contour of the glass support, and Ivariations in mask-to-film spacing. When exposing is carried out without a fiood exposure, the resist viscosity should be kept between 9 and 20 cps. (centipoises); the best viscosity is 1l to 12 cps. when maximum print down is desired.
  • a viscosity of 9 to ll cps. is ideal for making a matrix screen with a print down of 1.5 mils in the center and 3.0 mils in the corners.
  • a higher viscosity is usable; here a viscosity of 14 to 15 cps. is preferred.
  • a viscosity range of 9 to 30 cps. is usable.
  • a flood exposure is simply an overall or blanket exposure of substantial areas of the film which is less than that required to produce adhering film portions. A flood exposure may be carried out before, during, or after the image underexposure. Flood exposure of the film is useful to reduce exposure times or to improve adherence, provided the overall printing sensitivity is not above 1.5. Exposure times of 0.1 to 10 minutes are considered to be practical.
  • a very thin film having a Weight of about 0.10 mg./cm.2 gives the best adherence compatible with processing latitude at a maximum amount of print down.
  • bridging between holes and matrix hole deformation sometimes occurs with such thin films. This may be due to light overlap in the film during exposure from the larger mask apertures, which may cause some of the film between the light spots to harden. Bridging is where adjacent hardened dots are connected with hardened film material, and results in a connection between adjacent matrix holes. By raising the film weight to about 0.20 to 0.30 mg./cm.2, bridging and hole deformation are greatly suppressed.
  • the choice of film thickness is determined by the printdown required. For example, where it is desired to print the smallest possible matrix holes (greatest print down) from a given size of light source, the thinnest film is chosen in order to get best adherence. When the film is too thin, the retained film dots Will be difiicult to etch out during peroxide reversal.
  • the optimum film weight for maximum print down is around 0.10 mg./c m.2.
  • the thickest film compatible with good adherence, spreading, and freedom from mottle is chosen; this lweight would be around 0.30 mg./cm.2, and gives the least problems from bridging and light overlap.
  • an intermediate film weight is used (stock III below) so as to have both good adherence and minimum bridging difficulties.
  • film weights are, of course, only examples and are to some degree a function of the resist used to form the matrix hole.
  • the principle of choosing the optimum film weight to match the desired print down remains the same regardless of the film formulation chosen to form the matrix hole.
  • Stock I Same as Stock II except that 2961 g. water is added instead of 1461 g.
  • Stock I has a viscosity of about 10 cps.
  • aqueous solution of a wetting agent such as Pluronic L72 1461 g. water 1013 g. polyvinyl alcohol, such as Vinol 540 marketed by Air Products & Chemical Co., Edison, NJ.
  • Stock III Same as Stock II except that 1680 g. water is added iustead of 1461 g. This Stock III has a viscosity of about 20 cps. at 25 C. and gives a dry film weight of about 0.2 mg./crn.2.
  • the phrase equivalent circular diameter is used herein to define a light source which performs substantially as a circular light source of the indicated diameter.
  • the optimum equivalent circular diameter is about 8-0 mils, with a range of 60 to 130 mils. Too small a light source permits a smaller print down, and has too low a light output, resulting in excessively long exposure times. Also, diffraction effects limit the amount of print down which can be attained with very small area light sources. Too large a light source permits a larger print down, but a mottled and nonuniform screen results due to excessive sensitivity to lighthouse and processing nonuniformities.
  • FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 illustrate some typical relationships for printing sensitivity and print down for several sets of exposure conditions used for printing negative-tolerance matrix-screen structures for 23V" picture tubes by the novel method.
  • These tubes employ an apertured mask having about -mil diameter center mask apertures, about 28-mi1 center-to-center spacing of the center-mask apertures, and about 15mil diameter corner-mask apertures.
  • FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 were generated from the same 23V" panel-mask assembly. Each panel was divided into quadrants with each quadrant receiving a diterent exposure time through the same intensity control filter. For FIG. 2, they were 2.75, 3.00, 3.25 and 3.50 minutes. For FIG. 3, they were 3.25, 3.50, 3.75 and 4.00 minutes. For FIG. 4, the exposure times were 13, l5, 17 and 19 minutes.
  • the relative exposure is the product of exposure time in minutes times the current in microamperes used to operate the lamp in the lighthouse. This product yields a relative value for exposure. After processing the panel, the matrixhole sizes were measured and the relative hole area of the matrix computed in each quadrant.
  • a graph (not shown) was made of matrix-hole size as the ordinate and exposure as the abscissa for the collimator size evaluated, as a convenient way to provide average values of hole size versus exposure.
  • a plot (such as shown in FIGS. 2., 3 and 4) is made of printing sensitivity (P.S.) versus print down.
  • Print down is defined as the difference between mask aperture diameter and matrix hole diameter.
  • the method employed a 10G-mil equivalentdiarneter light source, and a film weight of about 0.20 mgJcm.2 prepared from la film coating formulation at a viscosity of about 20 centipoises and containing about 6.6 weight-percent sodium-dichromate sensitizer with respect to the weight of polyvinyl alcohol present.
  • the vmethod employed a 10G-mil equivalentdiameter light source, and a film weight of about 0.10 mg./cm.z prepared from a film coating formulation at a viscosity of about 12 centipoises and containing about 6.6 weight-percent sodium dichromate with respect to the weight of polyvinyl alcohol present.
  • the method employed an -mil equivalentdiameter light source and a film weight of about 0.10 mg./cm.2 prepared from a film coating formulation at a viscosity of about 12 centipoises and containing about 13.2 weight-percent sodium dichromate with respect to the weight of polyvinyl alcohol present.
  • FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 has four points plotted showing the actual results at about the center of the screen obtained in carrying out the novel method.
  • the graphs illustrate that up to about 2.5 mils of print down at the center of the screen can be obtained under the four diierent exposure conditions.
  • the mask aperture sizes and the center-tocenter spacings of the apertures are important.
  • the mask aperture size should be between about 14.5 to 15.3 mils in the center and about 12.5 to 13.5 mils in the corners.
  • Mask apertures varying substantially from these optimum sizes may exhibit printing sensitivities over areas of the screen which are higher than 1.5 and yield a matrix which has a mottled appearance. Too large an aperture size may cause bridging at the desired matrix hole size. Too small a mask aperture size may result in poor tolerance in the finished tube and poor white uniformity.
  • a grading of the brightness of the light iield at the film during the exposing step may be used to provide a graded print down from center to corner.
  • a center print down of 1.0-mil grading to a corner print down of 3.0 mils ispdesired, for example, it is necessary to grade the lighthouse light intensity from a center intensity of about 1.00 arbitrary units to a corner intensity of about 0.85 arbitrary units.
  • This edgeover-center grading may vary between 0.80 to 1.0 for the 23V" and 25V tubes; the preferred edge-over-center grading is about 0.9.
  • the sizes of the phosphor dots need to be controlled to prevent their overlap into adjacent matrix holes.
  • Lighteld grading in the lighthouse may vary between an edge-overcenter ratio of 0.8 up to 1.2 for the phosphor dots.
  • light source size In printing the phosphor elements in the matrix holes, light source size must also be properly chosen in order to get good phosphor adherence from the large mask apertures without overlap of phosphor dots into the adjoining holes of the matrix. A smaller light source has too low a light output, and long exposure times result. With too large a light source, phosphor dots with good adherence are too big when printed from the large negative tolerance mask aperture, so that they may overlap into adjacent matrix color holes. Light source sizes from about 80 to 130 ms equivalent diameter are usable.
