Cathode-ray tube having activated green and blue phosphors

摘要

A cathode-ray tube includes a phosphor screen having a tricolor phosphor layer composed of a red phosphor, a green phosphor of ZnS:Cu, Al activated with Ni, Fe, or Co, and a blue phosphor of ZnS:Ag activated with Ni, Fe, or Co. The green phosphor and the blue phosphor have a decay intensity of at most 0.5% upon elapse of 8 milliseconds after excitation is removed therefrom. The green phosphor of ZnS:Cu, Al activated with Ni and the blue phosphor of ZnS:Ag activated with Ni have their afterglow characteristics substantially equalized to the afterglow characteristics of the red phosphor of Y2O2S:Eu.
