In a color picture tube having a phosphor screen with three kinds, i.e., red, blue and green phosphor dots or phosphor strips, the red phosphor dots or strips are formed by employing europium-activated yttrium oxide (Y.sub.2 O.sub.3 :Eu) phosphor powder, each particle of which powder is coated with thin layer of europium-activated oxysulfide (Y.sub.2 O.sub.2 S:Eu) phosphor. By means of such thin coating of the oxysulfide phosphor, the conventional adverse active characteristic of Y.sub.2 O.sub.3 :Eu against photo-hardening agent in the phosphor slurry used in forming phosphor screen is eliminated, thereby increasing the uniformity of the red light emission and decreasing the U-V light exposure time in the screen forming process.
Red cathode ray phosphors are coated with a vapor deposited layer of cadmium selenide in order to achieve controlled color shifts in the light output of the phosphors. Such coated phosphors are especially suited for color television and monitor applications.
An index type color picture tube having a stripe type fluorescent screen with strips of a zinc sulfide-based green color phosphor, a zinc sulfide-based blue color phosphor, a red color phosphor which is a mixture of a Y.sub.2 O.sub.2 S:Eu phosphor containing not more than 2 ppm of Tb and a Y.sub.2 O.sub.3 :Eu phosphor, or a Y.sub.2 O.sub.2 S:Eu phosphor containing 5 to 30 ppm of Tb, and a phosphor for index detection has a uniform current-brightness characteristic of tricolor phosphors, and a less variation in white color tone of the picture reproduced over a range of from low current to high current.
To apply of a coat of granular luminescent material which comprises an yttrium compound an aqueous suspension is used which contains an alginate as a binder.
A display (300, 400) includes a face plate (40, 60) having an inner surface, a back plate (44, 64) having an inner surface opposing the inner surface of the face plate (40, 60), an electron source (48, 68) opposing the inner surface of the face plate (40, 60), and a phosphor (49, 72, 70) disposed on the face plate (40, 60). The phosphor (49, 72, 70) includes an electron-excitable UV-emitting material (52, 72) and a UV-excitable light-emitting phosphor (50, 70). The UV-excitable light-emitting phosphor (50, 70) is disposed to receive UV radiation emitted by the electron-excitable UV-emitting material (52, 72). The electron-excitable UV-emitting material (52, 72) includes a sol-gel product formed using sol-gel techniques.
Dampening-unit roller for a dampening unit of a printing machine includes a roller body having an outer cylindrical surface, and a coating on the outer cylindrical surface, the coating including or consisting of an oxide of zirconium and/or an oxide of yttrium.
