Abstract
For use on the outer surface of a faceplate of a display device such as of the cathode ray tube (CRT) type, a first inner antistatic layer of Sb--SnO2 (particle size between 5-20 nm) is applied to a thickness in the range of 200-600 nm. The Sb--SnO2 layer has a high light refractive index (n1 =1.8) and also provides an antireflection function. After pre-heating the faceplate to a temperature in the range of 35°-50° C., a second intermediate antireflection layer of colloidal TiO2 (light refractive index n2 =2.0 and particle size between 5-50 nm) is applied over the first inner layer to a thickness of 100-200 nm. A third outer antireflection layer is then applied over the intermediate layer in the form of a silica gel coating at a temperature in the range of 35°-45° C. with a thickness in the range of 100-200 nm and a light refractive index n3. The second and third antireflective layers follow the 1/4 wavelength rule, where n3 ≃√n2 . The multilayer antireflective coating may also be employed in a five layer coating, where the TiO2 and silica gel layers are repeated in proceeding outward from the glass substrate to provide a wideband antireflection capability.
