A method of manufacturing a focusing shadow mask for a color cathode ray tube is disclosed in which two conductive plates or surfaces, forming the electrode structure, are secured together by insulating material so that they do not contact each other. Strips or columns of insulating material are accurately located with respect to the matrix of apertures formed in the focus mask by etching cavities which may be in the form of grooves within at least one of the plates forming the electrode structure between adjacent aperture areas, and filling such accurately positioned cavities with a dielectric frit material, and then after firing such frit material etching away the surface of the plate so as to provide raised strips or pillars of insulator material firmly bonded and embedded in the mask structure. Finally, a conductive surface film or second conductive plate is provided on the raised insulating frit material by depositing a film of conductive metallic material on the surface of the frit, such as aluminum deposited by an evaporation technique, or by bonding such second conductive plate to the surface of the insulating frit material.

This invention is directed to the production of glazes exhibiting an earthenware appearance which are particularly suitable for decorating ceramic dinnerware. The glaze composition consists essentially of about 4-8% by weight SnO.sub.2 and 4-8% by weight TiO.sub.2, the total SnO.sub.2 +TiO.sub.2 being about 10-14%, and about 0.025-0.04% by weight MnO.sub.2 incorporated into a base frit consisting essentially, as analyzed in weight percent on the oxide basis, of about

This invention is directed to glasses especially suitable for use as television picture tube faceplates which exhibit linear X-ray absorption coefficients at 0.6 A of at least 35 cm.sup.-1 and very little browning from X-radiation and electron impingement thereon. The glasses are essentially free from PbO and other readily-reducible metal oxides and consist essentially, in weight percent on the oxide basis, as calculated from the batch, of:

This invention is drawn to the production of thermally-tempered, transparent glass articles which are integrally colored to demonstrate a particular amber-with-rose-highlights hue. More definitively, the present invention is directed to narrowly-delineated glass compositions within the general Na.sub.2 O-CaO-SiO.sub.2 system having incorporated therein critically-limited amounts of NiO and MnO.sub.2 as colorants.

There is disclosed an improved glass panel for a cathode ray tube adapted to use in color television reception. The panel glass undergoes a minimum amount of compaction on reheating, has a strain point greater than 470.degree. C., a liquidus below 900.degree. C., and a composition selected from a family within the SiO.sub.2 -Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 -MgO-CaO-SrO-BaO-PbO-Na.sub.2 O-K.sub.2 O field. Special additives in minor amounts include TiO.sub.2, CeO.sub.2, Sb.sub.2 O.sub.3, As.sub.2 O.sub.3, F, and oxide colorants.

This invention is concerned with the production of transparent glass articles exhibiting an integral light gray-brown hue. More particularly, this invention is drawn to specific borosilicate-based glass compositions containing critically-defined amounts of Co.sub.3 O.sub.4, NiO, and MnO.sub.2 as colorants therefor. The resulting glasses exhibit a specifically-delineated transmittance curve in the visible portion of the radiation spectrum.

This invention relates to the production of a composite article consisting of an opal glass body exhibiting a dense, milky-white appearance coated with an adherent enamel demonstrating high gloss and exceptional chemical durability. More specifically, the opal glasses of the present invention have compositions within the Na.sub.2 O-Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 -SiO.sub.2 -F system and demonstrate a softening point in excess of 760.degree. C., a strain point in excess of 490.degree. C., and a coefficient of thermal expansion (0.degree.-300.degree. C.) of about 66-75 .times. 10.sup..sup.-7 /.degree. C.

C., will exhibit coefficients of thermal expansion (25.degree.-300.degree. C.) about 3-10 points lower than the opal glass substrate, will demonstrate lead release after chemical attack of less than about 2 .mu.g/cm.sup.2, and will manifest excellent resistance to dishwasher detergents.
