Cathode ray tube device having insulator coating

摘要

A CRT having a glass faceplate for forming an image display surface and a metal funnel connected to a peripheral part of the faceplate and forming a side wall. The glass faceplate has a phosphor screen coated on the inside surface and a metal film covering the phosphor screen. A high voltage of 25 KV is applied to the metal film, while the metal funnel is grounded. An insulating layer covers adjacent inside areas of the funnel and faceplate, thereby increasing the distance between the metal film and exposed surfaces of the funnel and preventing creeping discharges.
