Description
Summary:Material aspects of the glass plates of the Zeus panel, a new type of flat and slim display, are described as well as the studied glass machining technologies and options for the individual glass parts. Especially the fabrication of the holes in the very thin selection plates is described. The technology used for this process, powder blasting, has proven to be essential for the Zeus display. Options to produce the channel plate through which the electrons are transported parallel to the front screen will be explained.
