Abstract:
A color television receiver is of the type which includes a cathode ray tube having an image screen composed of luminescent dot triads distributed in a raster pattern. Each triad has dots individually productive of respective red, green and blue colors. An electron gun produces a delta array of three electron beams to excite respectively assigned ones of the dots on the screen. Two of the electron beams are aligned in the horizontal direction while the third is displaced in the orthogonal direction. The usual yoke assembly is provided on the neck of the cathode ray tube for producing horizontal and vertical scanning fields that deflect the beams over the raster pattern in order to define the image. At the same time, the yoke assembly introduces astigmatic distortion in the electron beam array as the beams are deflected toward edges of the raster. Also included is a system which tends to maintain convergence of the electron beams upon the dot triads throughout action of the deflection means. To compensate the astigmatic distortion, at least the third beam is subjected to a pair of correcting fields that are spaced opposed in the horizontal direction on opposite sides of the third beam and serve mutually to aid movement of that third beam in the orthogonal direction; in most embodiments, the correcting fields also act upon the other two beams. The correcting fields are developed in response to a waveform which includes at least a component that varies parabolically at the rate of change of the horizontal scanning field; ideally, the waveform also includes a parabolic component that varies at the vertical scanning rate. Together, the correcting fields function as a dynamic purity control.

In a cathode-ray tube, the envelope comprises conical and neck portions wherein the conical portion has a rear cone section of rectangular truncated pyramidal shape and a front cone section flaring from the rear cone section at a wider angle.
Abstract:
A cathode-ray tube including a glass envelope having a forward portion terminating in a viewing screen, a center portion, and a rear portion including an electron-gun assembly having at least one focusing lens therein. A first external conductive coating is on the forward portion of the envelope, and a second conductive coating spaced from the first conductive coating is on the rear portion of the envelope at least over the focusing lens. A longitudinal strip of a third external conductive coating on the center portion of the envelope connects the first and second conductive coatings.
Abstract:
The electron gun unit housed in a neck portion of a tube envelope consists of three electron guns corresponding to red, green and blue. The electron gun corresponding to blue is smaller in diameter than the remaining electron guns, and the axes of said electron guns are arranged to form an isosceles triangle in such a manner that the electron gun having a small diameter has its axis on the apex of the isosceles triangle. Fluorescent dots upon which electron beams emitted from said electron guns impinge are substantially in the form of thin rectangles or ellipses which extend substantially at right angles to the beam scanning direction. Adjacent to said fluorescent dots is disposed a shadow-mask having a plurality of rectangularly shaped beam passing holes.
Abstract:
A shadow-mask-type color picture tube, comprising a glass envelope including neck, funnel and target portions, a triplebeam electron gun structure mounted in the neck portion, a mosaic three-color phosphor screen on the inner wall of the target portion, and a multiapertured shadow mask mounted adjacent to the screen, is provided with a fine mesh flexible annular particle shield, e.g. of stainless steel mesh, attached to the gun and extending into continuous contact with the wall of the neck portion.
Abstract:
A single gun cathode-ray tube for the display of color television images including a separate cathode for each electron beam and common first, second, third and fourth grids, each having apertures for each beam. The distance between successive centers of the apertures in the third grid is less than 7 mms. and the dimension of the third grid at the apertures in the direction of the axis of the gun is not more than 4 mms.
