Abstract A method of manufacturing a fluorescent display apparatus divided into a plurality of sections each having a plurality of anode conductors disposed on a base plate made of an insulating material, wherein phosphor layers are applied on the anode conductors in each of the sections using phosphors of different luminous colors to obtain a plurality of display sections for illuminating different luminous colors upon impingement of electrons, comprising the steps of forming a first phosphor paste comprising a phosphor compound capable of emitting a particular luminous color, a volatile solvent and a solid film forming element decomposable by the application of heat at a temperature higher than the volatilization temperature of the solvent; forming a second phosphor paste consisting of a phosphor compound capable of emitting a particular luminous color different from that of the first phosphor paste and a volatile solvent; screen printing the first paste to the anode conductors of at least one section of the display apparatus; nextly volatilizing the solvent of the first screen printed paste at a temperature above the volatilization temperature of the solvent and below the decomposition temperature of the solid film forming element to transform the solid film forming element into a solid film; depositing the second paste on the anode conductors of the remaining section of said display apparatus and baking the base plate with the phosphor films formed thereon to eliminate the film forming element from the first phosphor paste, leaving only the respective phosphor compound on the anode conductors on each respective display section.
A method of manufacturing a fluorescent display apparatus divided into a plurality of sections each having a plurality of anode conductors disposed on a base plate made of glass or ceramics, wherein phosphor layers are applied on the anode conductors in each of the sections using phosphors of different luminous colors to obtain a plurality of display sections for illuminating different luminous colors upon impingement of electrons, comprising the steps of: forming a first phosphor paste comprising a phosphor compound capable of emitting a particular luminous color, a volatile solvent and a solid film forming element decomposable by the application of heat at a temperature under 450° C., but higher than the volatilization temperatures of the solvent; forming a second phosphor paste consisting of a phosphor compound capable of emitting a particular luminous color different from that of the first phosphor paste, a volatile solvent, and without a film forming element; nextly screen printing said first paste to the anode conductors of one of the sections of said display apparatus; volatilizing the solvent of the screen printed paste after the screen printing thereof at a temperature above the volitalization temperature of the solvent and below the decomposition temperature of the solid film forming element into a solid film; nextly depositing said second paste on the anode conductors of the remaining section of said display apparatus; and baking the base plate with the phosphor films formed thereon at a temperature of about 500° C. to eliminate the film forming element from the first phosphor paste, leaving only the respective phosphor compound on the anode conductors on each respective display section.
