Abstract

Abstract An improved conductive coating for the inner wall of a cathode ray tube is disclosed. The coating consists essentially of 5-25% of at least one of the alkali metal oxides Na 2 O, K 2 O and Li 2 O, 20-80% SiO 2 , 2-25% of at least one oxide selected from the group consisting of Ag 2 O, CuO, CdO, CaO, SrO, BaO, CoO, PbO, MgO, HgO, NiO, ZnO, and MnO, 10-50% carbon, and 0-50% of a filler pigment, the total content of silica plus pigment being 45-85%.
