Abstract

Abstract ABSTRACT: Display Tube. The display window (11) of a display tube is manufactured from a plate (21) having grooves (22), which plate is fused to a plate (20), so that ducts (25) are present in the display window (11). The phosphor screen (14) is present on the inside of plate (20). The ducts (25) communicate at one end with a common supply duct (26) having an inlet aperture (27) and communicate at the other end with a common exhaust duct (28) having an outlet aperture (29). A coolant is forced through the ducts (25) for cooling the phosphor screen (14).

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 116 words
A display tube comprising a glass envelope having a substantially rectangular display window provided with a phosphor screen, in which window are means present at a short distance from the phosphor screen to cool the screen by means of a coolant, characterized in that the display window is formed by two plates fused together and that the means are formed by grooves provided in one of the plates on the side facing the other plate, which grooves extend substantially parallel to one of the rectangular sides of the display win-dow and one end of which communicates with a common supply duct and the other end of which communicates with a common exhaust duct for the coolant.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 116 words
A display tube comprising a glass envelope having a substantially rectangular display window provided with a phosphor screen, in which window are means present at a short distance from the phosphor screen to cool the screen by means of a coolant, characterized in that the display window is formed by two plates fused together and that the means are formed by grooves provided in one of the plates on the side facing the other plate, which grooves extend substantially parallel to one of the rectangular sides of the display win-dow and one end of which communicates with a common supply duct and the other end of which communicates with a common exhaust duct for the coolant.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 27 words
2, A display tube as claimed in Claim 1, charac-terized in that the grooves are substantially trapezoidal in a cross-section at right angles to the longitudinal direction.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 26 words
A display tube as claimed in Claim 1, charac-terized in that the grooves are substantially sinusoidal in a cross-section at right angles to the longitudinal direction.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 36 words
A display tube as claimed in Claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized in that the coolant has a refractive index which is equal to the refractive index of the glass plate which is provided with grooves.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 38 words
A display tube as claimed in Claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized in that the plate on which the phosphor screen is provided is manufactured from X-ray-transmissive glass and that the other plate is manufactured from X-ray-absorbing glass.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 24 words
A display tube as claimed in Claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized in that the plate remote from the phosphor screen forms a lens.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 28 words
A display tube as claimed in Claim 1, 2 or 3 characterized in that the plate on which the phosphor screen is provided is manufactured from grey-tinted glass.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 27 words
A display tube as claimed in Claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized in that the phosphor screen is formed by phos-phors luminescing in at least one colour.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 18 words
A projection television device comprising at least one display tube as claimed in Claim 1, 2 or 3.
