For improving the contrast of information displayed on the screen, there is placed in front of this latter a filter comprising a matrix of channels pierced in a photosensitive glass plate. The pierced plate is covered over the whole of its surface with a blackened deposit so as to reduce to the maximum its coefficient of reflection. Thus filters can be formed readily on request, according to the direction of observation in particular, with a good coefficient of transmission and improved contrast.

Directional filter for a display screen, the method for manufacturing

In order to avoid losses in definition and contrast which are observed in image-converter tubes as a consequence of the light scatter taking place within the body of the scintillators of the input screens of these tubes, when said scintillators occur in the form of a continuous layer of material, the present invention provides for the formation within a layer of microscopic channels which are transversely disposed, the channels being formed by covering the substrate, prior to the deposition of the scintillator thereon, with a layer of a granular material, preferably glass balls. Application to radiology and scintillography.
