Abstract

Abstract Pigment-coated phosphors which may be used in the production of a cathode-ray tube of a high contrast for a color television receiver can be produced by adding a pigment and an anionic polymer emulsion to an aqueous suspension of a phosphor and then making the system neutral or weakly acidic or adding a cationic polymer emulsion or carrying out both of these steps so that the phosphor and the pigment may be coated with the polymer.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim 70 words
A process for producing a pigment-coated phosphor which comprises the first step of adding a pigment and an anionic polymer emulsion to an aqueous suspension of a phosphor to form a mixture and the second step of carrying out the step of adding a cationic polymer emulsion to the said mixture and making the resulting mixture weakly acidic by adjusting the pH to a value ranging from 6 to 4.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 70 words
A process for producing a pigment-coated phosphor which comprises the first step of adding a pigment and an anionic polymer emulsion to an aqueous suspension of a phosphor to form a mixture and the second step of carrying out the step of adding a cationic polymer emulsion to the said mixture and making the resulting mixture weakly acidic by adjusting the pH to a value ranging from 6 to 4.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 16 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein said pigment is added as an aqueous suspension thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 42 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the amount of said pigment added is an amount effective to fulfil a function as a color filter and is not more than 15 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of said phosphor.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 28 words
A process according to claim 3, wherein the amount of said pigment added is 0.1 to 10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of said phosphor.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 34 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the amount of said anionic polymer emulsion added is 0.1 to 2 parts by weight as a solid content per 100 parts by weight of said phosphor.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 34 words
A process according to claim 5, wherein the amount of said anionic polymer emulsion added is 0.2 to 1.0 part by weight as a solid content per 100 parts by weight of said phosphor.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 34 words
A process according to claim 5, wherein the amount of said cationic polymer emulsion added is 0.05 to 2.0 parts by weight as a solid content per 100 parts by weight of said phosphor.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 34 words
A process according to claim 7, wherein the amount of said cationic polymer emulsion added is 0.1 to 2.0 parts by weight as a solid content per 100 parts by weight of said phosphor.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 18 words

Claim 11
Dependent Claim 18 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein said pigment has an average particle size of 0.5μ or less.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 61 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the anionic polymer emulsion is a copolymer emulsion of at least one non-ionic monomer selected from the group consisting of methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, hydroxypropyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate and hydroxypropyl methacrylate with an anionic monomer selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and itaconic acid.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 29 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the pH is adjusted by adding an acid selected from the group consisting of hydrochloric acid and acetic acid to the mixture.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 62 words
In a process for producing a pigment-coated phosphor which comprises the step of adding a pigment and an anionic polymer emulsion to an aqueous suspension of a phosphor to form a mixture, the step of adding a cationic polymer emulsion to the mixture and the step of adjusting the pH of the resulting mixture to a value ranging from 6 to 4.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 62 words
In a process for producing a pigment-coated phosphor which comprises the step of adding a pigment and an anionic polymer emulsion to an aqueous suspension of a phosphor to form a mixture, the step of adding a cationic polymer emulsion to the mixture and the step of adjusting the pH of the resulting mixture to a value ranging from 6 to 4.
