Process for producing color television picture tube

In a process for producing a color television picture tube which comprises at least the step of coating phosphor slurries onto the inner surface of a panel to form a phosphor layer, the step of applying a first aqueous emulsion film containing an acrylic resin onto said phosphor layer and then drying the resulting coating film to form the first layer, then applying a second aqueous emulsion film containing an acrylic resin onto said first layer and then drying the resulting coating film to form the second layer, then the step of forming a metal film on the second layer, and then the step of volatilizing the organic substances in the layers, the improvement characterized by using phosphor slurries containing a hydrophobic acrylic resin and polyvinyl alcohol, the amount of the acrylic resin contained in each of said phosphor slurries is 10 to 300 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of polyvinyl alcohol in the phosphor slurry, whereby the emulsion film forming the first layer is prevented from penetrating into the phosphor layer by the hydrophobic acrylic resin added to the phosphor slurry, using in the first aqueous emulsion film an acrylic resin having an elongation of 10% or more and using in the second aqueous emulsion film an acrylic resin having an elongation of less than 10%.
