Effects of the nanometer‐sized bismuth oxide coating on shadow mask

Abstract

Nanometer‐sized bismuth oxide with a diameter of about 80 nm was used as a new electron reflection material in a 29” Real Flat CPT. This bismuth oxide was well dispersed over pH8 in slurry. Spray coating was performed clearly and uniformly and was ensured that there was no clogging of shadow mask hole. Coating thickness was expressed to the brightness of chromaticity for the sprayed layer and was also well controlled during the spraying process. Doming was improved by about 10 % in spite of the similar coating weight in comparison with the average 3.5 μm of the conventional bismuth oxide.
