Abstract
A display apparatus comprising an evacuated envelope having an interior surface and an exterior surface is disclosed. The envelope includes a faceplate having a luminescent screen on the interior surface thereof. An electron gun is disposed within a neck of the envelope for generating at least one electron beam that is directed toward the luminescent 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. A resistive primer coating is disposed on the envelope and forms a barrier between the yoke adhesive and the envelope. The resistive primer coating is formed from an aqueous formulation comprising a copolymer of chloroprene and methacrylic acid, a conductive filler material and at least one cross-linking agent.
