Abstract
Abstract A non-glare, electromagnetic interference rejecting screen for a video display terminal. The screen comprises a front panel, formed of a transparent material, a rear panel, formed of a transparent material and a woven mesh screen interposed therebetween. A gasket is disposed about the front panel, with peripheral edge portions of the screen extending over the gasket. The screen is mounted on the display terminal so that the wire mesh is interposed between the gasket and the screen retaining frame, e.g., bezel, to form a good electrical interface therebetween. The strands of the screen are disposed at right angles to one another, with none of said strands being disposed horizontally or vertically. The strands are formed of electrically conductive material and are coated with silver. The silver surface is in the form of silver sulfide to give a darkened appearance.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
108 words
A screen for a video display terminal, said terminal comprising alpha-numeric display means, a case therefor and electrically conductive retaining means for engaging and retaining said screen, said screen being arranged to reduce glare on said display means and to attenuate electromagnetic interference emanating from said display means, said screen comprising a transparent front panel, a transparent rear panel, gasket means encircling the periphery of said front panel and a mesh of electrically conductive strands interposed between said panels and including peripheral portions extending beyond the periphery of said front panel to overly the gasket and directly engage said retaining means to form an electrically conductive interface therebetween.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
108 words
A screen for a video display terminal, said terminal comprising alpha-numeric display means, a case therefor and electrically conductive retaining means for engaging and retaining said screen, said screen being arranged to reduce glare on said display means and to attenuate electromagnetic interference emanating from said display means, said screen comprising a transparent front panel, a transparent rear panel, gasket means encircling the periphery of said front panel and a mesh of electrically conductive strands interposed between said panels and including peripheral portions extending beyond the periphery of said front panel to overly the gasket and directly engage said retaining means to form an electrically conductive interface therebetween.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
