Estimating the term…
A panel has a flat external surface and has a curvature on an inner surface thereof. A coating having light absorption characteristics is formed on the external surface of the panel. To the top of the coating, a film which has light absorbing characteristics and contains an adhesive is adhered. The light absorption by the coating is large at the central portion of the panel and is small at the peripheral portion of the panel. The light absorption characteristics of the film is approximately uniform on the entire surface of the panel. Due to such a constitution, a color picture tube having a flat external surface, the least brightness difference and an excellent contrast can be realized.
A color picture tube characterized in that a glass panel includes a face portion which forms an image and a skirt portion which is connected to a funnel portion, a radius of curvature of an external surface of the panel face portion is made greater than a radius of curvature of an inner surface of the panel face portion, a shadow mask which faces the inner surface of the panel face portion in an opposed manner has a curvature, a coating is formed on the external surface of said panel face portion having a variable light transmittance in accordance with a position of said coating on said panel face portion, said coating having a first light transmittance at the central portion of said panel face portion which is smaller than a second light transmittance of said coating at a diagonal peripheral portion of said panel face portion so that a smaller amount of light passes through said coating having the first light transmittance than an amount of light passing through said coating having the second light transmittance, a film which absorbs light and contains an adhesive is adhered to the outer surface of said coating, whereby the difference of light transmittance between the central portion and the diagonal peripheral portion of said panel face portion is made smaller compared to a case having only the glass panel.
A color picture tube characterized in that a glass panel includes a face portion which forms an image and a skirt portion which is connected to a funnel portion, a radius of curvature of an external surface of the panel face portion is made greater than a radius of curvature of an inner surface of the panel face portion, a shadow mask which faces the inner surface of the panel face portion in an opposed manner has a curvature, and at least a coating is formed on the external surface of the panel face portion, the coating having a light transmittance therethrough which is variable in accordance with a position of the coating on the panel face portion, wherein the combination of at least the coating and the panel face portion provides a light transmittance therethrough so that a difference of light transmittance between a central portion and a diagonal peripheral portion of the panel face portion is smaller as compared to a difference in light transmittance between the central portion and the diagonal peripheral portion of the panel face portion without the coating formed thereon.
