Abstract

ABSTRACT

The invention relates to a colour display tube comprising a shadow mask (12) placed in front of the display screen (8). The shadow mask (12), at least on the side remote from the display screen, is coated with a glass layer (14) containing a heavy metal. The object of such a layer (14) is to reflect electrons incident on it so as to reduce local or overall heating. When the heavy metal-containing layer is a glass layer, this layer has a smaller tendency to form particles than does a non-vitreous layer of a compound of a heavy metal. This is in favour of the picture quality, and the shadow mask is more rigid.

Description

~2Z9~
PEN. 10.979 : The invention relates to a color display tube comprising in an evacuated envelope means to generate a rNm~er of electron beams,: a display screen having regions luminescing in different allures and a color selection electrode which is present near the:
: S display screen and:has:apertures for passing the electron beams and : associating each electron beam with luminescent regions of one colour,:said oilier selection electrode being coated at least on : the side remote from the display screen with allayer which comprises : a heavy metal. The invention further relates to a method of menu-10 .fac~uring such a color display tube.
Heavy mottles to be understood to mean hereinafter a metal having an atomic number higher than 70.
A color display tube of the type mentioned in the opening ; paragraph is known, for exa~ple,.from our.Canadian.Patent 1,180,368 which issued on January 2, 1985.
This Patent describes thought color display tube having a Jo colour~selection electrode which on the side remote from the disk : : play screen is coated with allayer of a material.oomprising a heavy I: metal, during operation shows considerably less likelier overallDomingo as a result of which the.colour purity of the:a~lour display : tube would deteriorate.
As a matter of fact Allah go part of the electrons, on their White the display screener intercepted by the.colour selection electrode, sometimes termed shadow mask,. and cause local .25 or entire heating of the shadow mask and hence doming. Allayer I: with heavy metal.on~the side of the allure selection electrode where the electron beams are incidents for its effect that the ; electron beams are~refracte~ more strongly beyond the apertures . and give less rise to heating and doming.
It is also stated already in the above-mentioned literature reference that, depending on the increase of the thickness of the heavy metal-containing:layer, the possibility of the occurrence of lcose:particles in the tube increases. These loose particles may give I: rise inter aria in the electron gun to high voltage flashovers and _ _ .

PUN 10.979 2 24-08-1984 to black spots in the picture displayed on the display screen One of the objects of the invention is to prevent loose particles from being formed in the tube by the action of the electron beams on the heavymetaI~ontaining layer.
Another problem occurring in the color display tube is the following. me color selection electrode owes its rigidity for a considerable part to its curvature. In creasing the radius of curvature weakens the mask. In the present-day developments of the color display tube, then is a tendency to make the screen less ; 10 convex or even flat. It is then desired to make the color selection electrode lyre rigid.
Another object of the invention is to provide a more rigid color selection electrode.
according to toe invention. the color display tube mentioned lo in the opening paragraph is therefore characterized in that the heavy metal containing layer on the color selection electrode is a glass layer havirlg a forming temperature which is at most equal to the temperature of the manufacture on the envelope from the display screen and a cone.
By meals of a glass layer it is achieved that particles cannot easily be detached from the heavy metal containing layer, as well as that the color selection electrode as a whole becomes more rigid. By means of a glass layer having the indicated forming temperature it is achieved that no additional thermal treatments 25 for the manufacture of the color display tube according to the invention are necessary.
e heavy metal is preferably lead. By means of lead, good glass layers can be obtained on a color selection electrode.
In addition to the heavy metal; at least one glass-forming 30 component is present in the glass layer. Boron is preferably present in the / a glass-fonmm g component.
Particularly good results are obtained when the glass layer is a lead borate glass containing at least 50% by weight of lead oxide.
The glass layer preferably consists of 76-80 % by weight (52-56 mol. 4) of lead oxide, 15-20 by weight ~33-45 Mel. %) of boric oxide, 0~6 % by weight (0-11 mol. %) of zinc oxide and 0.5-2 by weight (1-4 mol. I) of cobalt oxide (Co 0). A glass ~;~Z912~
PUN 10.979 3 24-08-1984 layer having such a composition is very suitable as regards co-efficient of expansion, melting properties and adhesion to the substrate.
The glass layer comprising the heavy metal is preferably provided on the color selection electrode by spraying a suspension containing lead oxide and boric oxide on the color selection electrode while on the other side of the color selection electrode a sub-ambient pressure is maintained.
By means of this method it is achieved that no or hardly any particles are deposited on the walls of the apertures in the color selection electrode so that afterwards no increased reflections occur at the said walls and the picture quality is not impaired.
In a subsequent thermal treatment at, for example, approximately 440C, the glass layer is formed and the glass layer does 15 not flow into the apertures. Preferably, the thermal treatment simply coincides with the stage of manufacture of the color display tube in which the display screen and the cone are sealed together.
me invention will now be described in greater detail with reference to an example and the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 shows diagrammatically a color display tube according to the invention and Fig. 2 is a sectional view of a part of the color selection electrode of the tube shown in fig. 1.
The color display babe shown dlagram~latically in fig. 1 25 comprises a glass envelope 1 in which three (diagrammatically shown) electron guns 2, 3 and 4 are present to generate three electron beams 5, 6 and 7.
A display screen is built up from a repeating pattern of phosphor stripes 9, 10 and 11 which lump Miss in blue, green and red 30 and are respectively associated with the electron beams 5, 6 and 7 in such a manner that each electron beam impinges only on phosphor stripes of one color.
This is realized in known manner by means of a color selection electrode (shadow mask) 12 which is placed at a short 35 distance before the display screen 8 and which comprises rows of apertures 13 which pass a part of each of the electron beams 5, 6 and 7.
Only approximately 20% of the electrons, on their way -to the display screen 8, pass through the apertures 13. In order to 9~L2~
PUN 10.979 4 24-0~-1984 avoid local or overall heating of the shadow mask, an electron reflective layer 14 is provided which contains a heavy metal (see fig. 2).
In order to avoid crumbling away of the layer 14 and to increase the rigidity of the oilier selection electrode 13 as a whole, according to the invention the layer 14 on the color selection electrode is a glass layer having a forming temperature which is at most equal to the temperature of manufacturing the envelope 1 from the display screen 8 and a cone 16.
The heavy metal advantageously is lead, and boron is present in the glass layer 14 in a glass-forming component. A glass ` layer 14 consisting of a lead borate glass has proved to be very - suitable. A lead borate glass 14 comprises, for example, 0.25 my of Pub and 0.04 my of B per cm2. The glass layer 14 is provided from an aqueous suspension of a mixture consisting of approximately 16 by weight of boric oxide, 4 % by weight of zinc oxide, 79 %
by weight of lead oxide and 1 % by weight of cobalt oxide. me coefficient of expansion of the glass~¢orresponds closely to that of the iron color selection electrode 12.
The said aqueous suspension is sprayed onto the color selection electrode. During spraying, an air flow is maintained in the mask apertures 13 by exhausting the air on the non-sprayed side of the mask 12 by means of a vacuum pump. By means of these measures it is achieved that at most only little suspension lands 25 on the edge 15 (Fig. 2) of the apertures 13 so that no undesired electron reflection (taper reflection) takes place on said walls during operation of the tube.
me glass layer is formed by a thermal treatment of the shadow mask at approximately 44 I the melting properties of the glass used being such that substantially no material lands in the apertures 13.
The coefficient of reflection for electrons of the layer 14 is approximately 45 %. mix results in a lower temperature of the mask 12 than in the absence of the layer 14 and hence in a smaller overall and local doming of the shadow mask. me thermal treatment simply coincides with the step in which the display screen 8 and the cone 16 of the color display tube are sealed by form the envelope 1.
