Display Projector Technology via Single Crystal Faceplate Technology.

摘要

Three single crystal faceplates were to be integrated into Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) envelopes with the intent of evaluating the light output from Ce:YAG (Green), modified Ce:GD, YAG (Orange), CE:BEL (Blue). These CRT's were to be mounted in the projection test bed developed under Contract N61339-90-C-0047 and furnished G.F.P. to Trident International, Inc. for use and delivery during this contract. Three 3 inch diameter Ce:YAG faceplates were supplied as GFP from previous contract N61339-90-C-0047. One of these three was to be used for construction of a CRT, the remaining two were to be used for coating test. During the processing of the CRT's one of the crystals was destroyed. The other two single crystal faceplates were incorporated in test CRT's. An additional Ce:Gd, YAG (Red shifted green) faceplate of 1.5 inches diameter and two Ce:BEL (Blue) crystals of 0.75 inch diameter were obtained from Allied Signal, Inc, by Trident. Investigations were made to provide optimum optical coupling of the CRT light output into a projection lens. Index matching heat dissipation fluids were used. A wide angle lens was selected and supplied by the contractor. Filtering of the light output of the Ce:YAG, Ce:Gd, YAG and Ce:BEL faceplates was investigated for use in producing green, red and blue light outputs suitable for a full color video projector.
