Abstract
A display apparatus comprises a CRT having an evacuated envelope including a faceplate with a luminescent screen on the interior surface thereof. An electron gun is disposed within a neck of the envelope for generating and directing at least one electron beam toward the screen. A funnel connects the neck of the envelope with the faceplate. A deflection yoke is disposed around the envelope at the junction of the neck and the funnel. The yoke is attached to the envelope with an adhesive. The envelope further includes a first conductive coating on the interior surface of the funnel, a second conductive coating on at least a portion of the exterior surface of the envelope, and a third coating on the exterior surface of the envelope underlying the yoke and connected to the second conductive coating. The third coating provides a resistive, adhesive-primer coating that acts as a barrier between the yoke adhesive and the envelope and has a composition consisting essentially of a polychloroprene latex, a conductive filler material selected from the group consisting of carbon black and graphite, and water.
