Non-pealing anti-reflective film for a cathode ray tube and method of making the same

摘要

An anti-reflective film laminated on the display surface of a cathode ray tube which is not prone to pealing with age includes an extension on each of the four sides of the main film surface. The extensions from the main anti-reflective film surface are preferably rectangular and can be wrapped around the sides of the cathode ray tube adjacent to the display surface. A heat shrink band is then constricted around the cathode ray tube to fix the anti-reflective film in place. Strips of conductive material on the extensions of the anti-reflective film can be electrically connected to grounding electrodes on the heat shrink band to allow for the dissipation of static electricity which tends to accumulate on the anti-reflective film. With the heat shrink band securing the anti-reflective film in place over the display surface over the cathode ray tube, the anti-reflective film is not prone to pealing or separation from the display surface of the cathode ray tube.
