A display tube comprising in an evacuated envelope (1) a display screen (7) provided on the inside of a display window (2) in the wall of the envelope (1), which display screen (7) comprises luminescent material (13), and a multilayer interference filter (12) is provided between this material and the display window and comprises a number of layers (HL) which alternately are manufactured from a material having a high (H) and a material having a low (L) refractive index. If the filter is composed substantially of 6 to 30 layers, each having an optical thickness nd, wherein n is the refractive index of the material and d is the thickness, which optical thickness is between 0.2 lambda f and 0.3 lambda f and preferably between 0.23 lambda f and 0.25 lambda f, wherein lambda f is equal to p x lambda , wherein lambda is the desired central wavelength which is selected from the spectrum emitted by the luminescent material (13) and p is a number between 1.15 and 1.45, a display tube is obtained in which the luminous efficiency in the forward direction is at least 40% larger than in a tube without such a filter. Color improvement and gain in contrast also occur. |
