摘要:
Different displays are generated on the face of a color cathode ray tube to provide easy-to-interpret patterns representative of input data. The display may be analyzed by human observers, or by automatic means. The patterns are matrixlike in format. Analogue input data is quantized so that the position and/or color of points in the matrix represent a comparison of the input data to reference data. For testing purposes, the data is quantized into five levels and a different color is assigned to each level. Digital input data is transformed into color bits for visually testing the memory bank of a computer. Test data which varies in time is superimposed on data of fixed format to provide a ''''Blink'''' effect when the two sets of data do not match. Parity detectors are used to trigger a camera unit which takes photographs of the display screen when mismatch or out-oftolerance conditions are detected. One such detector consists of an in-line of assembly of display screen, photochromic screen, and plastic scintillator.
摘要:
A rear-ported beam index color cathode ray tube is described with a plurality of means for accurately controlling the modulation applied to the electrodes thereof in order to control the quality of data presented on the tube. Electrical and optical means are described which improve the signal to noise ratio in the index signal deriving section of the receiver. This improvement is achieved via the individual and collective action of (1) target screens having low x-ray emitting and high x-ray emitting index strips, and (2) large area scintillators for detecting and filtering the index radiation, and (3) electrical circuit means for generating synchronizing signals which respond to selected portions of the index radiation and (4) timing circuits for sequentially enabling the development of the synchronizing signals, and (5) circuit means which respond to the input data signals, deflection signals, and the synchronizing signals to precisely control the waveshapes of modulating signals applied to the cathode ray tube.
摘要:
Target screens for beam-index cathode ray tubes and beam-index color kinescopes are described with ribs, filaments, or projections which support or align the beam-index elements with the remainder of the screen structure. An elongated scintillatorderived light source is positioned parallel to strip-like elements of the target screen to reduce exposure time when the photo-resist, or other photographic, method of screen fabrication is used. Means to further simplify the construction of target screens for color kinescopes are described which use printing techniques (brush, flame-spray, electrostatic spray, etc.) to deposit the different color producing phosphors on the faceplate in the register with the index strips.

摘要:
Beam-index and heaterless cathode ray tubes are depicted in combination with elongated and coiled light pipe-scintillators. Penetrating radiation which impinges upon the sidewalls of the elongated light pipe creates scintillations in the interior region thereof. These scintillations are in the optical frequency range and are accumulated in strength as they travel through the light pipe. They emerge at exit terminals of the light pipe in concentrated form. Target screens in the CRT are described which provide the penetrating radiation. The concentrated optical scintillations are used for beam-indexing purposes; and are used to excite a nonthermionic cathode. Both the beam-index and heaterless cathode features are applied to cathode ray tubes with multicolor producing target screens.

These scintillations are in the optical frequency range and are accumulated in strength as they travel through the light pipe. They emerge at exit terminals in concentrated form. The concentrated optical scintillations are used for beam indexing purposes in cathode ray tubes including those with multicolor producing target screens. Single, dual, and triple index signal configurations are described.
