Abstract

A method of applying a film, preferably of PET, to a surface, preferably the front surface of the panel of a CRT. Resin is first applied to the surface in a predetermined pattern. The film is then pressed against a part of the surface near one edge of it by a roller. The roller is then moved across the surface to press the film onto the resin. The pressure exerted by the roller is reduced in the middle of the surface as compared with that exerted at the edge. Two different pressures may be used in the middle part.
