Abstract
Abstract An exposure method for manufacturing a cathode ray tube for displaying colored pictures and having a display screen comprising a large number of triplets of phosphor lines. During the manufacture of the display screen the phosphor lines are provided on the unexposed areas of a photosensitive layer. In order to obtain good triplets at the edge of the display screen, according to the invention an extra lamp position is used during the exposure.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
243 words
A method of manufacturing a cathode ray tube for displaying coloured pictures and comprising a display screen having a large number of triplets each consisting of three linear areas luminescing in a first, a second and a third colour, respectively, said second colour being present between the first and the third colour, means to generate three electron beams, and a colour selection electrode comprising a large number of substantially parallel slots for assigning each electron beam to luminescent areas of one colour, in which method for providing the luminescent regions of each colour a photosensitive layer is exposed through the colour selection electrode from at least two positions present one on each side of an exposure centre for said colour in such manner that the light beams which pass through two adjacent slots overlap each other on the photosensitive layer and an unexposed area where the luminescent areas of the said colour are provided is formed on the photosensitive layer between the light beams which pass through the same slot, characterized in that during the exposure for providing the luminescent areas of the third colour at the edge of the display screen the photosensitive layer is also exposed from substantially the exposure centre for the first colour and that during the exposure for providing the luminescent areas of the first colour at the edge of the display screen, the photosensitive layer is also exposed from substantially the exposure centre for the third colour.
