Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
19 words
The screen of claim 1, having a light reflective layer between the support and the layer of luminescent material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
66 words
The screen of claim 2, wherein said film forming polymer is a member selected from the group consisting of a polyalkylmethacrylate wherein the alkyl group contains one to four carbon atoms, a methylmethacrylate copolymer with other alkylmethacrylates wherein the glass transition temperature is in the range of 30*-100*C., cellulose acetate, cellulose propionate, cellulose acetate propionate, cellulose acetate butyrate, nitrocellulose, polyvinylchloride and copolymers of vinylchloride and vinylacetate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
