Abstract
The invention relates to a display screen comprising a phosphor composition of a sulphide and/or selenide-containing phosphor which is provided with a coating which comprises one or more catena-polyphosphates of one or more alkaline earth metals, zinc, cadmium and/or manganese. In such a display screen, in particular a low-energy cathode ray display screen, the advantages of the efficient sulphide or selenide-containing phosphors can be used and said display screen remains bright and rich in contrast for a long period of time because the coating acts as a stabilizing protective coating which limits the corrosion processes in sulphide and/or selenide-containing phosphors induced by low-energy radiation.
