Abstract
A projection cathode-ray tube includes a transparent protective layer interposed between a face panel and an optical multilayered interference film. In order to prevent a browning discoloration from occurring on the glass surface of the face panel caused by a direct chemical reaction between the glass surface and the optical multilayered interference filter due to an electron bombardment, the transparent protective layer, made from inorganic materials, is disposed between the face plate and the optical multilayered interference filter. The transparent protective layer is made of silicon dioxide (SiO.sub.2) or aluminum oxide (Al.sub.2 O.sub.3), and has a thickness of 0.05 micrometer or less, or 0.5 micrometer or more, respectively.
Claims9
A projection cathode-ray tube comprising:
- (a) a face panel;
- (b) a phosphor layer;
- (c) an optical multilayered interference filter disposed between said face panel and said phosphor layer, and composed of a plurality of alternately superimposed layers of high and low refractive index material;
- and
- (d) a transparent protective layer interposed between said optical multilayered interference filter and said face panel to provide a barrier for preventing the optical multi-layered interference filter from chemically reacting with the face panel upon contact with electron energy to thereby reduce browning on the face panel.
