          Appeal No. 1997-0523                                                          
          Application 08/082,576                                                        


               The disclosed invention pertains to mixed green-emitting                 
          phosphors, cathode-ray tubes which include such mixed green-                  
          emitting phosphors and a method of forming such mixed green-                  
          emitting phosphors.  The mixed green-emitting phosphors of the                
          invention provide excellent luminance saturation                              
          characteristics and deterioration characteristics under high                  
          current density conditions.  The mixed green phosphors of the                 
          present invention contain three or four phosphors.  To achieve                
          the desirable properties of the invention, various phosphors                  
          are mixed in the concentrations specified on pages 2 and 3 of                 
          the specification and in the claims.  The invention is further                
          illustrated by the following claim.
