The phosphor raster of color TV screens is produced by the exposure of photosensitive coats to ultraviolet light. On the basis of existing papers and our own experiments, a model is presented showing the mechanism of the photosensitive reaction between poly(vinyl alcohol), ammonium dichromate, and water. A complex redox reaction takes place between the three components, leading to chromium (III) ions and poly(vinyl alcohol) cleavage products with terminal carboxyl groups. There is interaction to chelate complexes, thus resulting in a three‐dimensional poly(vinyl alcohol) network insoluble in water.
