ABSTRACT:
A thin film, intagliated phosphor screen structure includes an optical fiber bundle in which each of the fibers has its glass core etched below the level of its cladding sheath at the internal surface of the screen, and a phosphor layer is deposited as a thin film which fills in the core recesses. Preferably, the upper surfaces of the phosphor layers are formed with a spherical or parabolic shape, which is obtained by surface tension when the phosphor film is annealed. The upper surfaces of the phosphor layers may also be finished by polishing. An aluminum reflective layer may also be coated on the phosphor layer. The bottom walls of the cores are preferably etched to be convex or concave to provide a lens effect. The intagliated phosphor screen can transmit 90% to 95% or more of the light generated in the phosphor layers, for an output gain factor of 5 or more over conventional phosphor screens.
