  • An electroluminescent screen for a color cathode ray tube of the shadow-mask type having a plurality of light absorbing stripes and elemental light emitting electroluminescent stripes each separated by one of the light absorbing stripes is produced by locating a movable shield plate between a light source and shadow mask, the shield having an opening for limiting the path of light between the light source and the shadow mask.

  • This invention relates to a method of fabricating electroluminescent screens for colour cathode ray tubes.
  • a colour cathode ray tube comprising a luminescent screen including a plurality of phosphor stripes, and light absorbing stripes contiguously disposed thereto; a shadow mask having apertures arranged in rows, each aperture having a substantial vertical length and a small width; and a so called in-line triple gun mount was successfully developed to eliminate the disadvantages of the aforementioned colour tubes.

  • the shadow mask 23 is removed from the panel 30, and the exposed, light sensitive layer on the panel is developed by rinsing water onto the panel.
  • the inner surface of the panel with the polyvinyl stripes is then coated with a light absorbing substance 40 such as aquadag (available, for example, from Acheson Industries) as shown in FIG. 3D.
  • the numeral 39 indicates the polyvinyl stripes.
  • the polyvinyl stripes 39 are dissolved by applying a solvent suitable for dissolving the polymerized polyvinyl, such as a water solution of hydrogen peroxide H 0 then water is applied by spraying. Aquadag lying on the polyvinyl stripes 39 is removed by this process, leaving the aquadag stripes 24 directly covering the inner surface of panel plate as shown in FIG. 3B.

  • the finished panel plate is shown in FIG. 2.
  • Numerals 25R, 25G and 25B indicate red. green and blue emitting luminescent stripes, respectively.
  • the width of the light source emitting light for exposure may be determined as follows.
  • the width of the previously fabricated polyvinyl stripe i.e., before the fabrication of luminescent stripes
  • the width of the light source may be determined by the width of apertures of the shadow mask and the width of the polyvinyl stripe in question.
  • the width of light source cannot be fixed to only one value from the above conditions, and many values may be adopted. In practice, a suitable value is selected taking into consideration exposure time and control stability of the width of the polyvinyl stripes.
  • the light image produced on the surface of polyvinyl layer 33 may have an illumination distribution such as shown in FIG. 5.
  • the central portion of the light image may have the highest illumination and the illumination may decrease in the end portions as shown in curve 45 of FIG. 5.
  • a polyvinyl stripe having a predetermined width may be produced by controlling the width of the light source and the exposure time to produce substantial illumination of the polyvinyl layer over a width less than the width of predetermined polyvinyl stripes 39.
  • a light correcting filter will be necessary.
  • the width of the light source determined from such consideratioons may be on the order of several millimeters.
  • the light source has a longitudinal length of the order of millimeters to avoid the existence of the unevenness of the third kind (i.e., bridge shadows).
  • Such a light source emits a considerable quantity of light energy, and control of exposure time or control of the width of the polyvinyl stripe becomes very critical. Fromthese reasons, for the purpose of reliably fabri cating polyvinyl stripes having predetermined width, it is necessary to determine the width of light source to the order of 1(one) millimeter or less.
  • the screen apertures act as a diffracting grid, i.e., the light rays tend to be diffracted by the apertures.
  • the aforementioned K, L and M abscissas lie at the points 2l,u., 62a, and 1011., respectively.
  • the resulting width of the polyvinyl stripe is a, in other words, the half value of the resulting width of the polyvinyl stripe lies at the midpoint between K and L. It shows that the formation of polyvinyl stripes having widths as shown in FIG. 8 becomes very difficult even if a correcting filter is utilised. In other words, because of diffraction phenomena, light ray energy distribution does not follow the curve 45 shown in FIG.
  • FIG. 9 shows that when a light ray is vibrated in the transverse direction with a substantial amplitude, superposed light energy results in a distribution equivalent to that shown by the curve 45 in FIG. 5 even if there exists diffraction phenomena; that is, in this case, bright and dark parts resulting from diffraction phenomena are superposed on each other, and the resultant energy distribution shows a gradually decreasing curve similar to that shown by the curve 45 in FIG. 5.

  • the light source 35 is thereby vibrated in the direction perpendicular to its longitudinal direction shown by arrow in FIG. 10 through the arms 56, 57 and 58.
  • the gradually decreasing light energy distribution equivalent to that shown by the curve 45 in FIG. can be obtained on the polyvinyl film coated onto the panel plate 30 by utilising the exposure apparatus having a light source which has movement as described above even if there exists diffraction phenomena. Accordingly, the polyvinyl stripes having predetermined width shown in FIG. 9 can be obtained by utilising a correction filter and controlling light exposure time in the same manner as described hereinabove.
  • the vibrating or oscillating period of the light source 35 is sufficient if the halfcycle vibration is performed to eliminate the unevenness of the first kind caused by light diffraction; but in practice, some restriction or limitation described hereinafter exists for the purpose of elimination of unevenness of the second kind at the same time.
  • a lighthouse having a slender light transparent window of 0.8m/m in width was successfully used with vibrating amplitude of 0.5m/m and a vibrating frequency of several cycles/second.
  • the light absorbing stripes were provided with a width error within lO/L.
  • the resultant light absorbing stripes having tolerance within 10p. are much more precise than those fabricated by other methods or processes for making color cathode ray tubes of this kind (generally, light absorbing stripes fabricated by other processes having a tolerance of the order of 0).
  • the width of the light source window is substantially reduced, the light exposure time becomes very easy to control.
  • the second kind of unevenness or lack or uniformity is caused by the facts described below.

  • the light source 35 used for exposure purposes has a substantial longitudinal length in the longitudinal direction of the apertures of the shadow mask and has a narrow width in the transverse direction of the apertures.
  • a line tangent to a point on the shadow mask drawn in the longitudinal direction of the aperture makes an angle with the longitudinal axis of the light source.
  • This lack of parallelism between the tangent lines on the shadow mask and the longitudinal axis of the light source is the reason for the unevenness or lack of uniformity of the second kind.
  • the longitudinal axis of light source must be kept as parallel as possible with the aforementioned tangents on the shadow mask.
  • FIG. 11 shows a distribution of the inclination angles between the Y- axis and longitudinal tanget lines at cross points of two groups of parallel lines, each group of parallel lines being parallel to the X- or Y- axis respectively and being disposed at equal distances from neighbouring parallel lines.

  • the exposing process is successfully performed by moving the elementary area 65 in the Y- axis direction while inclining the light source to an angle of inclination equal to the mean value of inclinations of the tangents within that area.
