Abstract:
A projection color television receiver set comprises three picture tubes juxtaposed to one another and producing red, green and blue light images which are projected through respective lenses onto a single screen to be reproduced as a single synthesized color picture. In order that rectangular rasters produced by the picture tubes disposed at both sides of the center picture tube are prevented from being deformed into trapezoidal rasters when projected on the screen, deflecting yokes used in the lateral picture tubes are provided with horizontal deflection winding in such arrangement that trapezoidal rasters are produced on faceplates of the laterally disposed picture tubes, respectively, which rasters are projected in a rectangular form on the single screen in alignment with the rectangular raster produced and projected from the center picture tube, whereby a color picture of an improved quality is reproduced on the screen, involving substantially no misconvergence. Auxiliary deflecting yokes and associated electric circuit of complicated configuration required heretofore to this end are spared.

Abstract:
A luminescent screen consisting of one self-supporting monocrystalline body and having a luminescent surface layer with V-shaped grooves. Such screens may be exposed to radiation having a larger energy than was usual so far with phosphor screens and have a very large luminous efficiency. In addition the resolving power is very large since there are no particles with limiting dimensions. Such screens may be used for displaying very bright pictures suitable for projection on a projection screen.
Abstract:
A cathode ray tube comprises two electron lens means in combination to crossover the electron beam at a second crossover between the two electron lens means with one of the two lens means having a variable voltage applied thereto to dynamically control the location of the beam crossover in order to focus the beam onto a display screen at any location away from the screen center.
Abstract:
In a convergence device for a three primary-color projection type color television system with three cathode-ray tubes, it is known to use two separate cores respectively for dynamic and static convergence correction. In the present invention a single core is used and the core is provided with eight pole pieces aligned along the vertical, horizontal and two diagonal axes, each pole piece having a winding therearound. The vertically and horizontally aligned pole pieces are used to correct horizontal and vertical dynamic convergence respectively. The diagonally aligned pole pieces are used for both the horizontal and vertical static convergence correction by producing magnetic fields horizontally and vertically. The construction is much simpler than the prior art, and the correction of dynamic and static convergence which is required as a result of the difference in incident angles between electron beams projected on a screen can be easily attained.
Abstract:
A waveform comparison and display system using a cathode ray tube, which is provided with a digital memory function for sequentially storing input signal levels in digital quantities and re-reading them out under control of desired clock pulses and with a display function for displaying on the cathode ray tube two waveforms obtained in outputs produced by high-speed switching of the input signal and an analog signal re-read out. The storing operation and the sweep operation of the cathode ray tube are controlled by a trigger signal synchronized with the input signal. The generation of the clock pulses is start-stop controlled in synchronism with the sweep. Accordingly, the two waveforms are displayed on the screen of the cathode ray tube in such a manner that they are stationary with respect to each other.
Abstract:
Two electron beams are used to scan a striped color phosphor pattern arranged normal to the scan line in succession so as to increase the total amount of photon emission during the interval between successive line scans. The two beams are oscillated parallel to the scan line so as to increase the dwell time of impinging electrons on the phosphor stripe with a consequential increment in brightness. Beam sensing elements are located in a predetermined positional relationship with the phosphor stripes. Impingement of the scanning beams upon the sensing elements produces an index signal representing the nonlinearity which may be present in the horizontal deflection waveform, which signal is stored for the interval of a subsequent raster scan and retrieved nondestructively at the start of each line scan. The retrieved signal is modulated in frequency with a signal representing the time it takes for the beam to traverse the entire phosphor stripes to compensate for the so-called pincushion distortion. The frequency-modulated index signal is delayed so as to align it in phase with the start of each line scan. The phase-corrected index signal is used to sample a received primary color components in succession to provide a dot-sequential signal which is used to modulate the first beam. A predetermined delay time is introduced to the dot-sequential signal prior to the modulation of the second beam. Second beam sensing elements are located parallel to the phosphor stripes. Impingement of the scanning beams upon the sensing stripes results in two start-of-line index signals which are discriminated from each other by modulating the second beam with a pilot signal. The discriminated signals are compared in phase to compensate for a delay time error which may have been introduced to the intensity modulation of the second beam.
Abstract:
A video cathode tube having a matrix of low emission threshold field effect emitters oriented to emit toward a luminescent layer. A first system of mutually insulated conductive paths is arranged along rows of emitters with the emitters in any row electrically connected to a corresponding conductive path of the first system. A second system of mutually insulated conductive paths is disposed in contact with the luminescent layer and extends in front of columns of the emitters. A first bank of contacts individually connected to respective conductive paths of the first system are sequentially energized to a first potential, and a second bank of contacts individually connected to respective conductive paths of the second system are sequentially energized to a second potential. A control grid connectable to a voltage source is interposed between the matrix of emitters and the second system of conductive paths. By modulating the potentials of the contacts with electrical signals representing an image when the grid is properly biased, luminous points on the luminescent layer will be sequentially developed opposite successive emitters to display on the luminescent layer an image represented by the electrical signals.

Abstract:
A color projection television receiver and projector having three color tubes mounted in fixed relation and in predetermined location relative to a screen for projecting three color pictures in registration thereon. Accurate registration of the pictures results from a projection tube structure adapted for accurate reproducability in production, whereby field adjustment is minimized. The tube structure employs a mounting barrel accurately suspended within the evacuated envelope and supporting a phosphor-coated target and a projection mirror. A Schmidt correction lens is mounted externally to the envelope of each tube.
