US Patent:

56989407, Dec 16, 1997

Filed:

Jan 23, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/589922

Inventors:

Arthur Ballato - Oceanport NJ
David C. Morton - Eatontown NJ

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army - Washington DC

International Classification:

H01J 2989

US Classification:

313479

Abstract:

In the faceplate of a cathode ray tube or in an FED the amount of light emanating from the phosphor that reaches a viewer is increased by the use of internal and external antireflection layers and concavities between layers on the side of the viewer with respect to the phosphor layer.

Appl. No.:

7/521879

Inventors:

Robert J. Zeto - Eatontown NJ
Eugene Hryckowian - late of Ocean NJ
David C. Morton - Eatontown NJ
John A. Costello - Annapolis MD
John C. Conrad - Ocean NJ

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army - Washington DC

International Classification:

B44C 122
C03C 1500
C03C 2506

US Classification:

156643

Abstract:

In the manufacture of a thin film electroluminescent display panel, patted transparent electrode stripes on a glass substrate are smoothed by: (A) depositing a uniform layer of dielectric material over the entire substrate bearing the patterned transparent electrode stripes, (B) applying a uniform layer of an organic flowable photoresist material over the layer of dielectric, (C) heating the coated substrate to a temperature at which the photoresist layer flows, and (D) etching back through the layers to the transparent electrode.

US Patent:

Filed:

Feb 10, 1998

Appl. No.:

9/021527

Inventors:

David C. Morton - Eatontown NJ

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army. - Washington DC

International Classification:

H01J 162

US Classification:

313486

Abstract:

A luminescent composition which is a uniform admixture of a least one phosphor having a particle size of about "one-half" micrometers or less and at least one sol gel compound in an amount sufficient to substantially encapsulate the phosphor. Luminous devices are formed by disposing this composition on a substantially transparent substrate. The use of particulate phosphors in an encapsulating medium protects the phosphor and provides dielectric strength or conduction as required. Improved luminous devices for displays and lighting are provided such as those finding use as flat panel displays and for backlights for liquid crystal flat panel displays.

Appl. No.:

8/372530

Inventors:

David C. Morton - Eatontown NJ

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army - Washington DC

International Classification:

C09K 1108

US Classification:

2523014R

Abstract:

A luminescent composition which is a uniform admixture of a least one phosphor having a particle size of about ten micrometers or less and at least one sol gel compound in an amount sufficient to substantially encapsulate the phosphor. Luminous devices are formed by disposing this composition on a substantially transparent substrate. The use of particulate phosphors in an encapsulating medium protects the phosphor and provides dielectric strength or conduction as required. Improved luminous devices for displays and lighting are provided such as those finding use as flat panel displays and for backlights for liquid crystal flat panel displays.
