Display apparatus provided with a light-emitting glass face panel having an inner surface coated with a phosphor layer

Abstract

A display apparatus includes a face plate that constitutes a part of a vacuum envelope, a phosphor layer formed on an inner surface of the face plate, and an electron beam source that emits electron beams to the phosphor layer. The face plate includes a light-emitting glass layer containing a light-emitting substance that emits light when electron beams are projected thereon. By extracting energy of electron beams, which have reached the face plate, as light, it is possible to reduce browning that occurs in the face plate and improve brightness of a display image significantly.
