Abstract:
A combined glare and radiation and static electricity suppression device, for use on the face of a cathode ray tube, consisting of an opaque, conductive mesh, and a spherical frame which is preformed to the same curvature as the cathode ray tube and serves to conform the mesh to the tube and hold the device in place. The frame is painted with a conductive paint on the side where the mesh is bonded to the frame. The bonding is done using a solvent which softens the paint without affecting the conductive contact between the paint and the mesh. A grounding connection is connected to the conductive side of the frame to a grounding point on the assembly including the cathode ray tube. The mesh, when grounded, minimizes static field build-up and significantly reduces the electric component of electromagnetic radiation emanating from the cathode ray tube and passing through the front of the tube. The device is also effective to reduce glare from illumination from in front of the tube.
