Abstract
Disclosed are a shadow mask, a cathode ray tube having the above shadow mask and a method for manufacturing a screen using the shadow mask. The shadow mask can concentrate electron beams and thereby largely increase luminance even with low electric power without deteriorating the purity of colors. The shadow mask has a first and a second thin metal plates. A first and a second voltages are applied to the first and the second thin metal plates and concentrate the electron beams passing through the first and the second electron beam passing holes respectively formed in the metal plates. The screen is manufactured with a controlled size of a developed area by controlling time using the shadow mask and an electrophotographical process.
Claims5
A method of manufacturing a screen for a cathode ray tube, said method comprising the steps of:
- (1) coating a volatile conductive layer and a volatile photoconductive layer on an inner surface of a panel in order;
- (2) charging electrostatic charges uniformly on the volatile photoconductive layer;
- (3) exposing the volatile photoconductive layer to light through a shadow mask so as to selectively discharge the electrostatic charges from the volatile photoconductive photoconductive layer, thereby forming a latent electric charge image of a predetermined array;
- and
- (4) developing the photoconductive layer by attaching charges particles onto one of an exposed area and an unexposed area of the photoconductive layer with controlling a size of a developed area by controlling time;
- wherein the shadow mask used in step 3 comprises a first thin metal plate and a second thin-metal plate, the first thin metal plate having a plurality of first electron beam passing holes, the first thin metal plate having a shape corresponding to a shape of a panel in a manner to be spaced apart from the first metal plate with a uniform gap, a first direct current voltage being applied to the first thin metal plate, a second thin metal plate having a plurality of second electron beam passing holes, the first thin metal plate having a shape corresponding to the shape of the first thin metal plate, the second metal plate being spaced apart from the first metal plate with a uniform gap, the second electron beam passing holes corresponding to and being coaxially aligned with the first electron beam passing holes, a second thin metal plate for the electron beam.
