Abstract
Abstract An image display device having an image transmissive faceplate with an exterior surface spaced from a light filtering layer of uniform thickness on a protective transparent panel by an encircling sealed gasket to form an interposed cavity which is filled with image transmissive bonding material. A method comprising the steps of (1) casting an annular gasket in encircling sealed relationship with an implosion panel, (2) depositing within the annular gasket and on the encircled panel a uniform thickness layer of light-filtering material, (3) sealing the gasket to an outer marginal portion of a display tube faceplate to form a cavity between the faceplate and the layer of light-filtering material on the implosion panel, and (4) filling the cavity with light transmissive bonding material.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
An image display device comprising: image producing means including an output surface having a first contour for producing an image and directing said image through said output surface; image transmissive means aligned with said output surface for transmitting said image, said image transmissive means including a single rigid panel having a second contour different from said first contour and filter means disposed between said output surface and said rigid panel for selectively transmitting said image directed through said output surface; and tubular means for supporting said image transmissive means in alignment with said output surface, said tubular means having one end portion secured about said output surface, an opposing end portion secured about said rigid panel and an intermediate stepped portion secured about said filter means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
126 words
An image display device comprising: image producing means including an output surface having a first contour for producing an image and directing said image through said output surface; image transmissive means aligned with said output surface for transmitting said image, said image transmissive means including a single rigid panel having a second contour different from said first contour and filter means disposed between said output surface and said rigid panel for selectively transmitting said image directed through said output surface; and tubular means for supporting said image transmissive means in alignment with said output surface, said tubular means having one end portion secured about said output surface, an opposing end portion secured about said rigid panel and an intermediate stepped portion secured about said filter means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
An image display device as set forth in claim 1 wherein said filter means comprises a uniform thickness layer of light filtering material disposed on said panel in spaced opposing relationship with said output surface of the image producing means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
65 words
An image display device as set forth in claim 2 wherein said image transmissive means includes a body of image transmissive bonding material disposed between said output surface and said layer of light filtering material, said body having a first bonding surface conforming to said first contour of the output surface and having a second bonding surface conforming to said second contour of the panel.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
109 words
An image display device comprising: image producing means including an output portion for producing an image and directing said image through said output portion; output assembly means disposed in alignment with said output portion for transmitting said image, the output assembly means including an image transmissive panel spaced from said output portion, filter means supported between said output portion and said panel for selectively transmitting said image from said output portion, and a tubular member having one end portion peripherally sealed to said panel, an opposing end portion peripherally sealed to said output portion of the image producing means and an intermediate stepped portion peripherally contacting said filter means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
109 words
An image display device comprising: image producing means including an output portion for producing an image and directing said image through said output portion; output assembly means disposed in alignment with said output portion for transmitting said image, the output assembly means including an image transmissive panel spaced from said output portion, filter means supported between said output portion and said panel for selectively transmitting said image from said output portion, and a tubular member having one end portion peripherally sealed to said panel, an opposing end portion peripherally sealed to said output portion of the image producing means and an intermediate stepped portion peripherally contacting said filter means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
37 words
An image display device as set forth in claim 4 wherein said output assembly means includes an image transmissive body of bonding material disposed between said panel and said output portion, and encircled by said tubular member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
31 words
An image display device as set forth in claim 5 wherein said end portion peripherally sealed to said panel comprises a flanged end portion extended radially inward of said tubular member.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
59 words
An image display device as set forth in claim 6 wherein said intermediate stepped portion extends radially inward of said tubular member and extends axially from said flanged end portion thereof, and said filter means comprises a uniform thickness layer of light filtering material disposed on said panel and encircled by said intermediate stepped portion of said tubular member.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
102 words
A method for providing an output portion of an image display device with an image transmissive output assembly and comprising the steps of: moldably sealing a flanged end portion of a tubular resilient member to a peripheral portion of an image transmissive panel while moldably forming an internally stepped portion of said tubular resilient member in axially extending relationship with said flanged end portion; moldably forming a light-filtering member on the inner surface of said panel and within said internally stepped portion; and sealing an opposing end portion of the tubular resilient member to the output portion of the image display device.
Claim 11
Independent Claim
102 words
A method for providing an output portion of an image display device with an image transmissive output assembly and comprising the steps of: moldably sealing a flanged end portion of a tubular resilient member to a peripheral portion of an image transmissive panel while moldably forming an internally stepped portion of said tubular resilient member in axially extending relationship with said flanged end portion; moldably forming a light-filtering member on the inner surface of said panel and within said internally stepped portion; and sealing an opposing end portion of the tubular resilient member to the output portion of the image display device.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
30 words
A method as set forth in claim 8 and including the additional step of injecting image transmissive bonding material in liquid form between said light-filtering member and said output portion.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
34 words
A method as set forth in claim 9 and including the additional step of curing said bonding material to form a solid body of material bonded to said light-filtering member and said output portion.
