Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
197 words
A method of forming a flat display panel having phosphor dots comprising the steps of: a. applying a paste layer containing a phosphor, photoresist material and powdered glass onto the areas of a dielectric layer by means of a printing procedure, said areas covering at least the predetermined portions of said dielectric layer on which the phosphor dots are to be formed, and being broader than said portions; b. placing a mask having the beam apertures on the paste layer on said dielectric layer; c. irradiating light onto said paste layer through said beam apertures of the mask to harden the areas of said paste layer coated on said predetermined portions of said dielectric layer; d. developing said paste layer so as to remove the nonhardened areas of said paste layer; e. heating the hardened portions of the paste layer at a first temperature of from 250° to 450° C. to decompose and thereby to remove organic materials contained in said paste layer; f. then heating said paste layer at a second temperature higher than the first temperature to fuse said glass powder contained in said paste layer, said second temperature ranging from 450° to 550° C.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
197 words
A method of forming a flat display panel having phosphor dots comprising the steps of: a. applying a paste layer containing a phosphor, photoresist material and powdered glass onto the areas of a dielectric layer by means of a printing procedure, said areas covering at least the predetermined portions of said dielectric layer on which the phosphor dots are to be formed, and being broader than said portions; b. placing a mask having the beam apertures on the paste layer on said dielectric layer; c. irradiating light onto said paste layer through said beam apertures of the mask to harden the areas of said paste layer coated on said predetermined portions of said dielectric layer; d. developing said paste layer so as to remove the nonhardened areas of said paste layer; e. heating the hardened portions of the paste layer at a first temperature of from 250° to 450° C. to decompose and thereby to remove organic materials contained in said paste layer; f. then heating said paste layer at a second temperature higher than the first temperature to fuse said glass powder contained in said paste layer, said second temperature ranging from 450° to 550° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the printing procedure of step (a) employs a silk screen to apply the paste layer to predetermined areas of the dielectric layer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said paste layer contains 37 to 65% by weight of the photoresist material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method of claim 3, wherein said paste layer contains 32 to 60% by weight of the phospher.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim

Claim 8
Independent Claim
226 words
A method of forming a flat color display panel having phosphor dots comprising the steps of: a. applying a first paste layer containing a first coloremitting phosphor, photoresist material and glass powder, a second paste layer containing a second color-emitting phosphor, photoresist material and glass powder, and a third paste layer containing a third color-emitting phosphor, photoresist material and glass powder separately onto predetermined areas of the dielectric layer successively by means of a printing procedure, said areas covering at least the predetermined portions of said dielectric layer and being broader than said portions; b. placing a mask having the beam apertures on the paste layers on said dielectric layer; c. irradiating light onto said first, second and third paste layers through the beam aperture of said mask to harden the areas of said paste layers coated on said predetermined portions of said dielectric layer; d. developing said paste layers to remove the nonhardened areas of said paste layers; e. heating said hardened areas of the paste layers at a first temperature of from 250° to 450° C. to decompose and thereby to remove the organic materials contained in said paste layers; f. then heating said paste layers at a second temperature higher than the first temperature to fuse said glass powder contained in said paste layers, said second temperature ranging from 450° to 550° C.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
226 words
A method of forming a flat color display panel having phosphor dots comprising the steps of: a. applying a first paste layer containing a first coloremitting phosphor, photoresist material and glass powder, a second paste layer containing a second color-emitting phosphor, photoresist material and glass powder, and a third paste layer containing a third color-emitting phosphor, photoresist material and glass powder separately onto predetermined areas of the dielectric layer successively by means of a printing procedure, said areas covering at least the predetermined portions of said dielectric layer and being broader than said portions; b. placing a mask having the beam apertures on the paste layers on said dielectric layer; c. irradiating light onto said first, second and third paste layers through the beam aperture of said mask to harden the areas of said paste layers coated on said predetermined portions of said dielectric layer; d. developing said paste layers to remove the nonhardened areas of said paste layers; e. heating said hardened areas of the paste layers at a first temperature of from 250° to 450° C. to decompose and thereby to remove the organic materials contained in said paste layers; f. then heating said paste layers at a second temperature higher than the first temperature to fuse said glass powder contained in said paste layers, said second temperature ranging from 450° to 550° C.
