A method, apparatus and carrier for coating a CRT screen after assembly. The method and apparatus includes isolating a surface portion of the CRT to be coated from the remaining surface to prevent or minimize coating problems resulting from outgassing or difficulty in controlling coating process parameters and to isolate noncompatible components from the deposition environment.

Method and apparatus for thin film coating an article

A method and apparatus for coating a CRT screen after assembly. The method and apparatus includes isolating a surface portion of the CRT to be coated from the remaining surface to prevent or minimize coating problems resulting from outgassing and to isolate noncompatible components from the deposition environment.

An antireflection coating for a substrate including four layers and having optimized photopic reflectance and optimized for deposition by sputtering. The first layer (the layer farthest from the substrate) has a refractive index less than the refractive index of the substrate and a thickness of about one-quarter wavelength. The second layer (the layer adjacent the first layer) has an refractive index greater than about 2.2 and a thickness of about a half wavelength. The third layer has refractive index less than that of the second layer. The fourth layer (the layer adjacent the substrate) has a refractive index less than about 2.0 and greater than that of the third layer. The combined thickness of the third and fourth layers is less than about a quarter wavelength. The first and third layers may include silicon dioxide. The second layer may include titanium dioxide or niobium oxide. The fourth layer may include indium oxide, tin oxide, indium tin oxide, or zinc oxide.

Four-layer antireflection coating for deposition in in-like DC

A coating for an article comprising layers of nitrides of certain transition metals to provide an electrically-conductive, light-attenuating, antireflection surface.

Electrically-conductive, light-attenuating antireflection coating

A multilayer optical coating including at least one layer of niobium oxide deposited by DC reactive sputtering.
