Abstract
Abstract A flat color CRT having a phosphor screen comprises red, green and, blue primary phosphor color stripes arranged at a spacing, and phosphor index stripes arranged in some of the spaces between the phosphor color stripes in a definite relation thereto. A black nonluminescent substance is provided between the phosphor index stripes and positioned at least in the spaces between the phosphor color stripes, and a metallic layer of sufficient thickness formed on the inner side of a tube panel and positioned in a corresponding relationship to the phosphor color stripes.

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
A flat, color CRT comprising: a flat glass tube having first and second walls opposed to each other; an electron gun means for scanning the inner surface of said first wall with a single beam; a phosphor screen provided on said first wall inner surface, said phosphor screen including phosphor index stripes provided on said first wall inner surface arranged at small spacings, non-luminescence substance provided on said first wall inner surface interposed continuously between said phosphor index strips strips of metallic layer formed on the upper surface of said non-luminescent substance arranged repeatedly at a small distance from one another in a definite relation to the phosphor index strips, and red, green and blue primary phosphor color strips being provided on each of said metallic layer strips; and an observation window provided in said second wall for observing the luminescence of said phosphor color strips of said phosphor screen.
