A cathode-ray tube (CRT) having a colored, anti-static, CRT faceplate coating (37), with high gloss and high contrast on an external surface (39) of a faceplate panel (27), is characterized by an organic silicate and a colorant selected from the group consisting of a Xanthene dye, a cationic thiazine dye, a sulfonephtalein indicator, an acridine dye and a cationic triphenylmethane dye. The process of manufacturing the colored, anti-static, CRT faceplate coating (37) also is described. The process is characterized by the steps of forming an aqueous solution of a silica-sol and a colorant. The colorant is selected from the group consisting of a Xanthene dye, a cationic thiazine dye, a sulfonephtalein indicator, an acridine dye and a cationic triphenylmethane dye. The aqueous solution is applied to the external surface (39) of the CRT faceplate panel (27). |
