摘要:
At the onset of ageing or in the further course of their service life, colour picture tubes relatively frequently exhibit a rise in the field strength between the cathode (K) and the Wehnelt electrode (G 1 ) of the respective beam system on account of a blooming effect of the cathodes (K) which is known per se and reduces the spacing between cathode (K) and Wehnelt electrode (G 1 ). The cut-off regulation reacts to an effect of this type in a manner such that the reverse voltage acting between cathode (K) and Wehnelt electrode (G 1 ) is correspondingly reduced in order to be able to drive the same reference cathode current. However, the reaction of the cut-off regulation must be taken into account for the circuit design since this would otherwise result in an unacceptable reduction in the modulation range, which would, in turn, have an adverse effect on the maximum contrast setting. The invention provides a regulating device (10) which makes it possible to automatically compensate for an ageing-related change in the field strength between the cathode (K) and the Wehnelt electrode (G 1 ) of the respective tube system of a colour picture tube (1), the cut-off regulating voltage produced in the respective RGB colour channel on account of the cut-off regulation being used as the controlled variable for the regulating device (10).

A cathode current detecting circuit capable of detecting a cathode current without delay and without lowering frequency characteristics of an applied video signal. This cathode current detecting circuit comprises a generator for generating a cathode current detection reference signal on the basis of a synchronization signal, an adder for adding the detection reference signal to a video signal, an amplifier for amplifying the added video signal, a transistor for applying the amplified video signal to a cathode of a cathode-ray tube, a current/voltage converter resistor for converting a cathode current 8 into a voltage, a frequency characteristic compensating capacitor connected in parallel to the transistor and a switch connected in series to the capacitor, wherein the switch is controlled in synchronization with the detection reference signal so as to be turned on during an active video signal display period and turned off during the cathode current detection period.

With certain picture formats, for example, presentation of 16:9 picture on a 4:3 screen, the cut off signals for the dark radiation current regulation inserted into the video signal can become visible in the black bands. The task is to avoid such signals becoming visible on the screen. The measuring process for the cut off regulation only happens briefly, for example, always only shortly after switching on the receiver. The result of the measurement (Uco) is stored in a memory (14) and read out from the memory (14) during most of the operating time. In particular, color televison receivers for the presentation of differing picture formats.

A mosaic of monitor units (201, 202, etc.) contained in a single covering (30) provide higher-resolution monitor displays proportional to the number of monitor units contained in the monitor casement. The extension of the flat viewing surface of the monitor in one or more directions accomodates a touch screen function both over the monitor surface and in the area surrounding it with one transparent layer between both the electronic image and marginal fixed markings. The touch response surface reduces parallax factors. A receiver and signal processor (5) which outputs dual signals, the first defining the image in a Standard Broadcast mode and the second providing selected sharpness where detail is required. The method of transmitting only changes in the high-resolution areas cuts data transmission and recorded data levels.

A noise suppressing arrangement in the form of an interface is provided between a data transfer circuit and a driver associated with a display unit VFD tube. The driver and power supply circuits associated with the display unit feature improved arrangements which attenuate surges and spike. The voltage appearing on the grid of the VFD is controlled by a circuit which is responsive to a signal produced by microcomputer which controls the illumination and which induces changes in the voltages applied across the filament of the VFD. The level of illumination can be automatically controlled by light sensor and illumintion levels above default values are automatically reset to optimal values each time the system is initially energized.

A method of and an apparatus for synchronizing reproduction using a plurality of video information reproducing systems are arranged such that synchronization pulses contained in video signals are integrated for each recording medium using as a starting point a required video postition identifying signal recorded on each recording medium, and integrated values are made to coincide with each other, thereby allowing the video information of all the recording media to be reproduced synchronously. Thus, since synchronization of reproduction is effected while the reproducing systems are operating, there is no need to temporarily stop the reproducing systems as has been done conventionally. Consequently, it is possible to effect synchronous reproduction even in the case of a CLV-type disk which cannot be temporarily stopped. In addition, the time duration required for synchronization can be reduced.

A peak beam current leveler for use in a television receiver system which is responsive to the magnitude of the beam current supplied to the cathode of the cathode ray tube (CRT) exceeding a predetermined peak level to adjust the cathode peak beam current accordingly. The cathode beam current is supplied by a gain controlled video amplifier (38) to the cathode through the base-emitter junction of a transistor (56) The collector electrode of the transistor is connected with a resistor (58) for providing a voltage level proportional to the peak beam cathode current. A comparator circuit (70-80) is utilized to provide a gain control signal that controls the gain of the gain controlled video amplifier such that the higher the beam current the more gain reduction that occurs. Thus, the level of the peak current is automatically reduced to maintain good focusing of the display on the CRT.

A television receiver with a planar faceplate kinescope includes an automatic kinescope bias (AKB) control system (14a,b,c) wherein the kinescope electron gun (16, 18) is energized to induce a cathode input current, representative of the kinescope black image current level, in response to an auxiliary drive signal (V G ) applied to the electron gun during AKB operating intervals. The auxiliary signal (V G ) exhibits an amplitude for inducing the cathode current only during horizontal trace intervals encompassed by the interval when the auxiliary signal occurs.
