Process for applying a luminophore layer

Claim 2

A process for applying a luminophore layer to a luminescent screen by using luminophore powder and glass solder powder, comprising the steps of: enveloping the luminophore particles with the glass solder powder and binding the glass solder powder to the luminophore particles to anchor glass solder powder to individual luminophore particles which the glass solder powder is enveloping; subsequently applying the enveloped luminophore particles and associated anchored glass solder powder to a luminophore carrier and melting the enveloped luminophore particles and the associated glass solder powder on the carrier.

Claim 3

A process according to claim 1, wherein said step of enveloping the luminophore particles includes first mixing the glass solder powder and a prepolymerized acrylic resin, filtering the mixture; and, subsequently anchoring the glass solder powder on the luminophore particles by polymerizing the acrylic resin at elevated temperature from 80° C. to 250° C.

Claim 4

A process according to claim 1 wherein the luminophore carrier, is coated first with an acrylic resin dissolved in an organic solvent, and after evaporation of at least part of the solvent, the enveloped and bound luminophore particles are applied to the acrylic resin layer in a finely and uniformly dispersed form, and the luminophore particles are subsequently fastened on the surface of the luminophore carrier and exposed to air at elevated temperature, at which temperature the glass solder will soften.

Claim 5

A process according to claim 2 wherein the luminophore carrier is coated first with an acrylic resin dissolved in an organic solvent, and after evaporation of at least part of the solvent, the enveloped and bound luminophore particles are applied to the acrylic resin layer in a finely and uniformly dispersed form, and the luminophore particles are subsequently fastened on the surface of the luminophore carrier and exposed to air at elevated temperature, at which temperature the glass solder will soften.

Claim 6

A process according to claim 1, wherein said luminophore carrier is provided as a metal substrate.

Claim 7

A process for applying a luminophore layer to a carrier, the process comprising the steps of: mixing glass solder, a prepolymerized acrylic resin and luminophore particles together in a manner to envelope the luminophore particles with glass solder and bind said glass solder to said luminophore particles, said luminophore particles enveloped and bound with said glass solder by said resin, forming a mixture; distributing said luminophore particles enveloped and bound with glass solder on to the carrier; and melting said distributed luminophore particles enveloped and bound with glass solder onto the carrier in order to form the luminophore layer on the carrier.

Claim 8

A process for applying a luminophore layer to a carrier, the process comprising the steps of: mixing glass solder, a prepolymerized acrylic resin and luminophore particles together in a manner to envelope the luminophore particles with glass solder and bind said glass solder to said luminophore particles, said luminophore particles enveloped and bound with said glass solder by said resin, forming a mixture; distributing said luminophore particles enveloped and bound with glass solder on to the carrier; and melting said distributed luminophore particles enveloped and bound with glass solder onto the carrier in order to form the luminophore layer on the carrier.

Claim 9

A process in accordance with claim 6, further comprising: filtering said mixture.

Claim 10

A process in accordance with claim 6, further comprising: heating said mixture to further bind and anchor said glass solder onto said luminophore particles.

Claim 11

A process in accordance with claim 8, wherein: said heating raises the temperature of said mixture between the temperatures of approximately 80° C. and 250° C.

Claim 12

A process for applying a luminophore layer to a carrier, the process comprising the steps of: enveloping and binding glass solder to luminophore particles; filtering said luminophore particles enveloped and bound with glass solder in order to remove excess glass solder not anchored and bound to said luminophore particles; applying said luminophore particles enveloped and bound with glass solder by evenly and thoroughly distributing individual enveloped and bound luminophore particles over substantially all areas of the carrier on which the luminophore layer is desired; and melting said luminophore particles bound and anchored with glass solder onto the carrier in order to form the luminophore layer on the carrier.

Claim 13

A process for applying a luminophore layer to a carrier, the process comprising the steps of: enveloping and binding glass solder to luminophore particles; filtering said luminophore particles enveloped and bound with glass solder in order to remove excess glass solder not anchored and bound to said luminophore particles; applying said luminophore particles enveloped and bound with glass solder by evenly and thoroughly distributing individual enveloped and bound luminophore particles over substantially all areas of the carrier on which the luminophore layer is desired; and melting said luminophore particles bound and anchored with glass solder onto the carrier in order to form the luminophore layer on the carrier.
