Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and information about some of the electronic, electrical and electrotechnical Obsolete technology relics that the Frank Sharp Private museum has accumulated over the years .
Premise: There are lots of vintage electrical and electronic items that have not survived well or even completely disappeared and forgotten.

Or are not being collected nowadays in proportion to their significance or prevalence in their heyday, this is bad and the main part of the death land. The heavy, ugly sarcophagus; models with few endearing qualities, devices that have some over-riding disadvantage to ownership such as heavy weight,toxicity or inflated value when dismantled, tend to be under-represented by all but the most comprehensive collections and museums. They get relegated to the bottom of the wants list, derided as 'more trouble than they are worth', or just forgotten entirely. As a result, I started to notice gaps in the current representation of the history of electronic and electrical technology to the interested member of the public.

Following this idea around a bit, convinced me that a collection of the peculiar alone could not hope to survive on its own merits, but a museum that gave equal display space to the popular and the unpopular, would bring things to the attention of the average person that he has previously passed by or been shielded from. It's a matter of culture. From this, the Obsolete Technology Tellye Web Museum concept developed and all my other things too. It's an open platform for all electrical Electronic TV technology to have its few, but NOT last, moments of fame in a working, hand-on environment. We'll never own Colossus or Faraday's first transformer, but I can show things that you can't see at the Science Museum, and let you play with things that the Smithsonian can't allow people to touch, because my remit is different.

There was a society once that was the polar opposite of our disposable, junk society. A whole nation was built on the idea of placing quality before quantity in all things. The goal was not “more and newer,” but “better and higher" .This attitude was reflected not only in the manufacturing of material goods, but also in the realms of art and architecture, as well as in the social fabric of everyday life. The goal was for each new cohort of children to stand on a higher level than the preceding cohort: they were to be healthier, stronger, more intelligent, and more vibrant in every way.

The society that prioritized human, social and material quality is a Winner. Truly, it is the high point of all Western civilization. Consequently, its defeat meant the defeat of civilization itself.

Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

OLD, but ORIGINAL, Well made, Funny, Not remotely controlled............. and not Made in CHINA.

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to the manufacture of color television picture tubes incorporating shadow masks, and more particularly to such tubes utilizing the so-called "Black Matrix".
One serious drawback of the standard shadow mask tube is the appearance of its picture viewed in daylight conditions or high ambient lighting conditions. In the standard shadow mask tube there are two principal factors contributing to this deficiency. Firstly, in order to accommodate beam landing errors the diameters of the phosphor dots are made larger than those of the beams, and secondly the spaces surrounding these dots is covered by a highly reflective aluminum coating. These two factors together mean that approximately 10% of the screen area is never excited by any electron beam but will nevertheless diffusely reflect ambient light and hence impair the appearance of the picture. In order to reduce this effect to acceptable limits a dark-tint face plate is used. This reduces, by a certain factor, the brightness of the reflected ambient light; but it also reduces, though only by half that factor, the brightness of the picture. Thus although there is a net improvement in appearance, the general level of picture brightness is reduced. This effect can be compensated by driving the phosphor harder, but this reduces the life of the tube. Taking this fact into consideration a face plate with approximately 50% transmission is generally considered a reasonable compromise.
A novel approach to the problem is firstly to arrange to accommodate beam landing errors by making the electron beams larger than the visible portions of the dots, and secondly to fill the space between these portions with a non-reflecting coating.
With this arrangement, if only 50% of the screen area is excited by electron beams and the remainder is substantially non-reflecting, then an 80% transmission face plate could be used, thereby providing a 54% increase in brightness with a 30% better contrast ratio between the picture and the reflected ambient light.
The arrangement can be achieved in principle by producing an appropriate pattern of holes in a black coating on the inside of the tube facce. The holes are made undersize on the standard phosphor dots which are subsequently superimposed on these holes. The diameters of the electron beams are again standard size but beam landing errors are accommodated by virtue of the fact that the effective light emitting area of each phosphor dot is restricted to that portion lying in its associated hole.
A critical step in this process is the production of the pattern of undersize holes. Since a shadow mask is unique to a tube this pattern can only be achieved by a technique which involves the temporary reduction in size of the apertures of a shadow mask.
Two methods have previously been proposed. One of these involves making the shadow mask with undersize holes which are subsequently enlarged by etching after it has been used to make the pattern of undersize holes in the black coating. The other method involves using a shadow mask with standard size holes which is then plated with a different metal to reduce their size. After the pattern of undersized holes in the black coating has been made the holes of the shadow mask are opened out again to their original size using a selective etch which will remove the plated layer, but which will not attack the underlying material from which the shadow mask is constructed. Both these methods are complicated by the fact that the enlargement of the holes has to be performed after the shadow mask has been fitted to its supporting frame and formed. It will be realized that there is a risk of trapping the etching solution between the mask and its frame which may cause contamination within the completed tube. A further disadvantage of the plating method is that it is time consuming and expensive on materials. Yet another disadvantage of methods involving the use of etching solutions is that they are liable to remove the oxide layer created during the forming of the shadow mask. If this oxide layer has to be recreated by a further heat treatment there is a serious risk that the shadow mask will slightly change its shape and thus lose its compatibility with the deposited pattern of phosphor dots.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Therefore, the main object of the invention is to provide an improved method of making a black matrix shadow mask color television tube in which the size of the holes in said mask are reduced.
According to the present invention there is provided a method of making a black matrix shadow color televesion picture tube comprising the steps of depositing a coating on a shadow mask having apertures fromed therein to reduce the size of said apertures, forming a black matrix on the tubes inside foil having a pattern of holes therein on said mask, said holes being equal in size to the size of the reduced apertures, enlarging the apertures trough said mask to their original size and depositing a pattern of phosphor dots in said now enlarged apertures of said mask on said screen which overlap the holes in said black matrix.
It is a feature of the subject invention that the holes in the shadow mask may be reduced in size using a material, such as cellulose, dissolved in a common solvent, such as acetone. Acetone will not remove the oxide layer, and although it too can readily penetrate the crevices between mask and frame, it will not react with them and therefore is less likely to be a troublesome source of contamination.

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to cathode ray tubes and more particularly to a process for fabricating a black matrix screen structure having phosphor receiving areas smaller than a given exposure area effected by directing actinic radiation through an apertured mask.
Generally, matrix screen structures for cathode ray tubes are of either the positive or negative tolerance type. In the positive tolerance type screen structure the matrix holes for phosphor deposition are larger than the electron beam spot size of an operating tube. In the negative tolerance type screen structure the matrix holes for phosphor deposition are smaller than the electron beam spot size of an operating tube. Moreover, the positive tolerance type screen structure, which is the least popular structure, is normally fabricated by merely overexposing through the apertured mask associated with present-day "shadow-mask" type structures.
However, the more popular negative tolerance type structure, wherein the matrix holes for phosphor deposition as smaller than the electron beam spot size, are fabricated in accordance with several techniques. In one known process, the structure is exposed through the associated apertured mask to provide matrix holes of a given size and suitable for receiving phosphors. Thereafter, the apertures of the mask are enlarged to provide a beam spot size larger than the matrix holes wherein the phosphors are deposited.
In another known process, a film of photo-sensitive resist is exposed through the apertured mask which has had the apertures partially filled with a liner. Thereafter, the liner is removed to provide enlarged apertures and a beam spot size larger than the matrix holes. In another similar technique, a temporary mask is affixed to the regular apertured mask in order to reduce the aperture size. The matrix holes are exposed and the temporary mask is removed to provide enlarged mask apertures whereby the beam spot size is larger than the matrix holes.
Other known methods for providing negative tolerance structures include an acid etch back process wherein a photo-sensitive resist film is exposed through the normal apertured mask and the exposed film reduced by an acid treatment. Thus, matrix holes of a size smaller than the beam spot size are achieved. Also, underexposure or a "print down" technique is utilized wherein a photo-sensitive resist film is underexposed through the apertured mask and a portion of the underexposed film is washed away to leave a film spot size smaller than the size of an electron beam passing through the same apertured mask and impinging the screen.
Although each of the above-mentioned techniques has been or still is employed for fabricating screens for cathode ray tubes, it has been found that each leaves something to be desired. For example, enlarging the apertures of the mask, filling the apertures with a liner, and utilizing a temporary mask have all been found to be extremely cumbersome, expensive and not particularly satisfactory techniques for fabricating negative tolerance type screen structures. Also, it has been found that acid treatment techniques are most difficult to use due to the problems of size control of the exposed film. Moreover, under-exposure techniques have a tendency to cause deposition of insolubilized film which is relatively thin or which has a tendency to loosen and leave the support to which it is affixed.
OBJECTS AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide an enhanced cathode ray tube screen structure fabricating process. Another object of the invention is to provide a cathode ray tube screen structure fabricating process which reduces the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art. Still another object of the invention is to provide a cathode ray tube screen structure fabricating process which is inexpensive of labor and materials. A further object of the invention is to provide an improved cathode ray tube screen structure fabricating process for providing a negative tolerance type structure having phosphor receiving areas of a size smaller than the area of an electron beam directed through an apertured mask.
These and other objects, advantages and capabilities are achieved in one aspect of the invention by a cathode ray tube screen structure fabricating process wherein the inner surface of a viewing panel is coated with a first film of photo-sensitive resist material, the first film is exposed to actinic radiation through an apertured mask to provide insoluble areas of film of a given size; a second film of resist material is deposited onto the first, dried, and the second film, soluble areas intermediate the insoluble areas of the first film, and portions of the insoluble areas of the first film are removed to provide insoluble areas of the first film of a size smaller than the given size; a third film of opaque material is overcoated on the insoluble areas of the first film of a size smaller than the given size and the bare surface of the viewing panel intermediate the insoluble areas; the insoluble areas and the overcoating of opaque material thereon are removed; and phosphors are deposited in the remaining areas smaller than the areas of a given size intermediate the coating of opaque materials.
