Abstract
Abstract In forming a fluorescent screen for a color picture tube having triads of phosphor materials of the three primary colors arranged in a predetermined pattern on the inner surface of a panel, a photosensitive film which exhibits stickiness when exposed to a threshold amount of light is formed on the inner surface of the panel. Locations of the photosensitive film where the three color phosphor materials respectively occupy are exposed to light from a light source through a shadow mask mounted to the panel. The amount of exposure light for a first color phosphor material is the threshold or above and that for second and third phosphor materials is below the threshold. After completion of the light exposures for the first to third color phosphor materials through the shadow mask, the shadow mask is dismounted from the panel and the first color phosphor material is deposited onto the photosensitive film. A first back exposure is then carried out and the second color phosphor material is deposited onto the photosensitive film. Thereafter, a second back exposure is carried out and the third color phosphor material is deposited onto the photosensitive film.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
246 words
A method of forming a fluorescent screen for a color picture tube having triads of phosphor materials of three primary colors arranged in a predetermined pattern on the inner surface of a panel comprising the steps of: forming on the inner surface of the panel a photosensitive film which exhibits stickiness when exposed to a threshold amount of light; exposing to light at threshold from a light source first locations of the photosensitive film where a first color phosphor material of the primary three colors should occupy through a shadow mask mounted to the panel; exposing to the light second locations of the photosensitive film where a second color phosphor material should occupy through the shadow mask with the amount of light which is below the threshold; exposing to the light third locations of the photosensitive film where third color phosphor material should occupy through the shadow mask with the amount of light which is below the said threshold and below the amount of light exposed on the said second locations; dismounting the shadow mask and depositing the first color phosphor material onto the photosensitive film; subjecting the panel to a first back exposure which brings only the second locations of the photosensitive material to stickiness; depositing the second color phosphor material onto the photosensitive film; subjecting the panel to a second back exposure which brings the third locations of the photosensitive material to stickiness; and depositing the third color phosphor material onto the photosensitive film.
