Abstract
Since a mass production of a large 37″ CRT was achieved in 1984, 41″, 42″, 32″, 43″, 33″ and 45″ CRTs were successively developed by CRT manufacturers in Japan for three years.
This paper reviews the engineering and technical subjects in the mass production of large CRTs, such as glass bulbs, shadow masks, phosphor screens, electron guns, color purity under terrestrial magnetism, and manufacturing processes.
Among them, glass bulbs are discussed in detail.
