The present invention relates to a CRT 10 having an evacuated envelope comprising a funnel 11 sealed at one end to a faceplate panel 12 with a luminescent screen 14 on an interior surface thereof. A color selection electrode 16, mounted on a frame 19, is disposed within the envelope in proximity to the screen. An internal magnetic shield 22, is secured to the frame of the color selection electrode, and is spaced from and extends along at least a portion of the funnel. The magnetic shield has a plurality of openings 32 therethrough. An evaporable getter 28 is disposed within the envelope adjacent to the exterior surface 26 of the magnetic shield 22. The magnetic shield is improved by having tabs or louvers 36, 38, 136, 138, associated with the openings, for restricting the deposition of a film of getter material 30 to the exterior surface 26 of the shield 22. In a second embodiment, two magnetic shields 122, 222, with openings 132 and 232, respectively are attached to the frame 19 of the color selection electrode 16. The openings 132 and 232 are non-aligned, thereby restricting the getter film to the exterior surfaces to the two magnetic shields.

A CRT comprising an evacuated envelope having an electrically-insulating neck and a beaded electron-gun mount assembly in the neck. Portions of the surfaces of the beads facing the inner surface of the neck carry electrically-conducting coatings for suppressing arcing during the operation of the tube. The coatings and the claws of the electrodes embedded in the beads are positioned to minimize erosion of the patches during electrical processing of the electrodes.

A system for analyzing an aluminum deposition process to form a coating on a surface of a CRT faceplate panel disposed on an exhaust cart includes: an apparatus within the exhaust cart for controlling the distribution of the aluminum; a sensor disposed on the panel for determining whether aluminum was deposited thereon, and a plurality of thickness monitors disposed on the panel for generating a plurality of signals representative of the relative thickness of the aluminum coating at a plurality of locations on the surface thereof. The signals are converted into data values to indicate whether the aluminum coating achieves a predetermined thickness profile.A method of depositing the aluminum coating is also disclosed. The method provides an indication of the performance of each of the exhaust carts and permits the categorization of defects for the panels not meeting the predetermined thickness profile.

A cathode-ray tube having an electron gun includes a novel cathode sleeve, a heater filament having a heater body with a pair of heater legs disposed within the sleeve and a pair of heater straps attached to the heater legs. The novel cathode sleeve comprises a generally longitudinally extending first portion having a first diameter which conforms closely to the heater body portion of the heater filament for reducing the power requirement thereof, and a second generally longitudinally extending portion having a diameter greater than the first diameter. The second portion has a segment which coaxially encompasses a section of the first portion of the cathode sleeve. The segment of the second portion is connected to the section of the first portion by a reverse drawn transition region which effectively extends the thermal length of the cathode sleeve to minimize the conduction of heat therealong. A plurality of slots may be formed in the transition region to provide heat dams to further limit the heat conduction along the cathode sleeve. The novel cathode sleeve permits the use of a heater having shortened heater legs which terminate within the larger diameter second portion. The heater legs are attached within the second portion to a pair of heater straps accommodated therein, thereby minimizing thermal losses from the heater legs.

The present invention relates to a color CRT 10 having an evacuated envelope 11 includes a funnel 15 sealed at one end to a faceplate panel 12. A luminescent screen 22 is provided on an interior surface of the panel. A color selection electrode assembly 27 is disposed within the envelope in proximity to the screen. An internal magnetic shield 30, having an exterior surface 32, is secured to the color selection electrode assembly and is spaced from and extends along at least a portion of the funnel. A getter spring assembly 33 is disposed within the envelope to deposit a film of getter spring material onto the exterior surface 32 of the magnetic shield 30. The getter assembly 33 is improved by being detachably attached to the color selection electrode assembly 27 and prevented from rotating by an orientation plate 60 having a projection 70 with a flat contact surface that bears against the color selection electrode assembly.

An electron gun for a cathode-ray tube comprises a modular beam-forming region assembly and a main focusing lens which are affixed to at least two insulative support rods. The modular beam-forming region assembly includes a plurality of cathode assemblies, a control grid electrode and a screen grid electrode. The control grid electrode and the screen grid electrode are attached to a first major surface, of a common ceramic member and the cathode assemblies are attached to a second major surface thereof. A transition member is disposed between a metallized pattern on the first major surface of the ceramic member and the screen grid electrode. The transition member includes a substantially flat portion attached to the metallized pattern and two upright portions substantially perpendicular to the flat portion and substantially parallel to each other. The screen grid electrode is disposed between the upright portions and connected thereto by a plurality of step-like support members. Each of the step-like support members includes a screen grid electrode contact portion, a bead support contact portion and a central riser portion extending between the contact portions. The screen grid electrode contact portion of each step-like support member is attached to the screen grid electrode. The bead support contact portion of each step-like support member is attached to a different one of a plurality of bead support members affixed to the insulative support rods, whereby the screen grid electrode is longitudinally spaced from the main focusing lens.

The present invention provides an improvement in a color picture tube. The tube includes an envelope comprising a faceplate panel, a funnel and a neck. The faceplate panel includes a transparent rectangular faceplate having a cathodoluminescent screen on an interior surface thereof, and a peripheral sidewall. The improvement comprises the faceplate panel having either an interior or exterior blend radius from the faceplate to the sidewall that varies around the periphery of the panel in such a manner that the stresses in predetermined areas of the panel are reduced.

An inline electron gun for a cathode-ray tube has three cathode assemblies each including a cathode sleeve having a cathode cap closing one end of the sleeve and extending therealong. Each cap has an electron emissive coating thereon and a heater is disposed within each sleeve. The center cathode assembly has a laminated bimetal cathode cap comprising a first layer integral with the sleeve and an overlying second layer with a sidewall portion that is shorter than the sidewall portions of the two outer cathode caps of the outer cathode assemblies. The center cap thus has less thermal mass than the outer caps and the center cathode assembly therefore reaches electron emission temperature before the outer cathode assemblies.

A cathode-ray tube having an electron gun includes at least one cathode assembly comprising a tubular cathode sleeve, a heater filament disposed within the sleeve and a novel cathode eyelet coaxially surrounding at least a portion of the cathode sleeve and attached thereto. The cathode sleeve has oppositely disposed ends, one end being open and the other end being closed by a cap having an electron emitting coating thereon. The novel eyelet comprises a laminated bimetal member including a support layer and an emissivity modifying layer. The support layer has a distal end, a proximal end and a central portion therebetween. The proximal end of the support layer is attached to the open end of the cathode sleeve. The emissivity modifying layer is disposed on at least a portion of the interior surface of the central portion of the support layer to reduce radiation loss from the cathode sleeve and cap. The emissivity modifying layer is spaced from the proximal end of the support layer by a heat dam which reduces conduction loss up the eyelet. A method of altering the thermal characteristics of the cathode assembly is also disclosed.
