Abstract
An image display faceplate having a plurality of recesses (dimples) formed therein for receiving discrete phosphor droplets and having a conformal metallization layer disposed thereon is provided. The phosphor system so described may be dispensed onto the faceplate without the need for multiple sequential depositions, maskings, and material removals and provides for a single step deposition of dis-similar phosphor materials of which the phosphor system is comprised.
Claims5
An image display faceplate comprising a major surface and a plurality of uniform recessed regions oriented to provide a prescribed pattern and extending into the faceplate, each of the recessed regions being formed as a dimple with a diameter, a depth and gradually sloped edge and with the diameter of each dimple being significantly greater than the depth, and the faceplate further including a plurality of dis-similar phosphor materials with a different phosphor material of the plurality, of dis-similar phosphor materials disposed in each recessed region.
An image display faceplate comprising a major surface and a plurality of uniform recessed regions oriented to provide a prescribed pattern, the plurality of recessed regions being oriented to form a plurality of pixels disposed at the major surface and extending into the faceplate with each pixel including a set of the plurality of recessed regions, each of the recessed regions being formed as a dimple with a diameter a depth and radially sloped edges and with the diameter of each dimple being significantly greater than the depth, and the faceplate further including a plurality. Of dis-similar phosphor materials with a different phosphor material of the plurality of dis-similar phosphor materials disposed in each recessed region.
A multi-color image display viewing screen comprising:
- a faceplate having a major surface;
- a plurality of uniform selectively oriented recessed regions disposed at the faceplate major surface and extending into the faceplate, each of the recessed regions being formed as a dimple with a diameter, a depth and gradually sloped edges and with the diameter of each dimple being significantly greater than the depth;
- a plurality of dis-similar phosphor materials with a different phosphor material of the plurality of dis-similar phosphor materials disposed in each recessed region, such that a full color viewing screen comprised of a plurality of discrete sub-pixel elements is provided;
- and
- a conformal layer of conducting material substantially covering the major surface of the faceplate and the dis-similar phosphor materials disposed in each recessed region.
