Abstract:
A structure of an electron gun for a color cathode ray tube capable of reducing a drive voltage by creating an optimum relation among a cathode, a first electrode, and a second electrode mounted in the electron gun, and preventing degradation in response to input signals on a high-resolution screen and a focus characteristic.
Abstract:
An electron gun for a color CRT includes a triode unit including a cathode, a control electrode, and a screen electrode for emitting an electron beam, first and second auxiliary focusing electrodes sequentially installed coaxially with the triode unit, for forming auxiliary lenses, first and second focusing electrodes installed coaxially with the first and second electrodes, for forming a quadrupole lens, and a final acceleration electrode installed close to the second focusing electrode, for forming a main lens. In the electron gun, protruding portions having flat surfaces corresponding to opposite surfaces of the first and second focusing electrodes are formed on at least one of the opposite surfaces of the first and second focusing electrodes to change the profile of the electron beam by applying a dynamic focus voltage to the edge of electron beam passing holes formed in the opposite surfaces.
Abstract:
In a television receiver, a dynamic, parabolic correction voltage for focusing is generated by way of a transformer whose primary winding is fed with the line deflection current or a line-frequency voltage and to whose secondary winding a capacitor is connected, which capacitor integrates the sawtooth-waveform current in the secondary winding into a parabolic voltage. New types of picture tubes require a correction voltage which does not have a parabolic profile, rather whose form corresponds approximately to the cross section through the center of a bathtub. It is an object to provide a simple circuit for generating such a bathtub-waveform correction voltage. This is achieved by virtue of the fact that a frequency-dependent network, in particular a series resonant circuit comprising an inductance and a capacitance, is connected in parallel with the capacitor, which network is tuned in such a way that the network effects an additional sinusoidal current with a period duration approximately equal to the line trace period. The circuit is particularly simple, requires no active elements, effects a low power loss, can be used with a current transformer and furthermore enables blanking of the correction voltage during the vertical blanking interval.
Abstract:
A method of compensating for and correcting temperature induced focus and distortional errors within a head-up display unit is described. The head-up display is comprised of a cathode ray tube and a plurality of lenses constructed of a plastic material defining a lens train and a mounting device constructed of a metal material. The compensation for the temperature can be accomplished by measuring the difference in thermal expansion between the plastic material and the metal material and conveying the measured difference to an alignment device for an appropriate adjustment.
Abstract:
An electron gun assembly in a cathode-ray tube apparatus includes a quadrupole lens that is created in accordance with deflection of electron beams. The quadrupole lens is created by two mutually opposing grids. The two grids have non-circular electron beam passage holes in their mutually facing surfaces. Each electron beam passage hole has a waist portion which minimizes a horizontal or vertical dimension of a region for passing the associated electron beam.
Abstract:
A color cathode ray tube apparatus of this invention includes an electron gun. In the electron gun, an intermediate electrode is arranged at the mechanical center between a focus electrode and anode electrode that form a rotationally symmetric bi-potential lens. A disk-like intermediate electrode is arranged at the mechanical center between the focus electrode and intermediate electrode. The disk-like intermediate electrode has an electron beam hole with a diameter larger in the vertical direction than in the horizontal direction. The intermediate electrode has a circular electron beam hole. Voltages are applied to the disk-like intermediate electrode and intermediate electrode such that they form an electron lens similar to that formed when the disk-like intermediate electrode does not exist. Therefore, an electron beam spot is focused in an optimal manner on the entire surface of a phosphor screen, and elliptic distortion is decreased. A good image is displayed on the entire surface of the phosphor screen.

A first uni-potential lens is formed between the first and second focusing electrodes, a second uni-potential lens is formed between the second and third focusing electrodes, a quadrupole lens is formed between the third and fourth focusing electrodes and a main leans is formed between the fourth electrode and the accelerating electrode, when a static voltage is applied to the first and second focusing electrodes and a dynamic focusing voltage synchronous to a deflection signal is applied to the third and fourth focusing electrodes.
Abstract:
A color cathode ray tube has excellent focusing characteristics over the whole screen thereof, as well as a total length which is short, thus providing a compact monitoring device. The Cathode ray tube has an electron gun in which the ratio between the diagonal size De of a phosphor screen and the distance Lg from the center of the phosphor screen to an end portion of a focusing electrode which forms a main lens portion of the electron gun and faces an anode electrode in an opposed manner is set to De/Lg>1.5. The focusing electrode and the anode electrode have single opening portions whose opening size in the horizontal direction is not less than 68% of the outer diameter of a neck portion and end surfaces of the opening portions face each other in an opposed manner in the tube axis direction along which the electron beams pass.
Abstract:
A dynamic focus coil produces different selected ampere-turns while consuming constant power and therefore maintaining constant temperature. The focus coil comprises a set of coils that all consume the same power. A selected subset of coils (e.g. two or three) are energized at any given time, the subset being selected to produce the desired focus adjustment. Illustratively, the coils all have the same resistance and are driven by current having the same magnitude and selectable polarity. An alternative embodiment contains a “coarse” set of coils having selected values of ampere turns and a “fine” set of coils having values of ampere turns that fill in between the values of the coarse set.

The apparatus for compensating for corner focus and brightness in a CRT includes a CRT, a parabola signal generator for generating a parabola signal from input vertical and horizontal driving pulses, a fly back transformer for supplying high voltage of parabola waveform to an anode electrode of the CRT, an adder for adding the parabola signal of the parabola signal generator and a feedback voltage from the fly back transformer, an error amplifier for amplifying error components of an output voltage of the adder and a reference voltage, and a +B converter for converting the output of the error amplifier to a direct current voltage level required to operate the fly back transformer.
