Polymeric antistatic coating for cathode ray tubes
First Claim
1. A video display apparatus comprising:
- a display panel having an outer and an inner surface, wherein said outer surface is in facing relation to a viewer of the video display apparatus; and
an antistatic coating layer applied to the outer surface of said display panel by either spin or spray coating, said coating layer comprised of a solution of water, alcohol, tetraethoxysilane, nitric acid and an electrically conductive polymer soluble in water and alcohol dissolved in the solution, wherein said conductive polymer and comprises a mixture of polyaniline with either polvstvrene sulfonic acid or polyacrylic acid in a molecular ratio of 1;

Abstract
A high molecular weight, i.e., molecular weight of 90,000-750,000, conductive polymer soluble in both water and alcohol is mixed with a solution of water, alcohol, tetraethoxysilane (TES), and nitric acid (HNO3) to provide an antistatic coating for a glass display panel of a cathode ray tube (CRT) for grounding static charge on the panel. Conductive polymers such as of polyaniline mixed with either polystyrene sulfonic acid or polyacrylic acid in a molecular ratio of 1:1 or 3,4 polyethylenedioxythiophene added to polystyrenesulphonate in a molecular ratio of 1:1 form a conductive complex which when mixed with a solution of water, alcohol, TES and HNO3 provides a coating solution with a resistivity in the range of 107-109 ohm/cm2 on the outer surface of the CRT display panel.
