2 Claims. (Cl. 95-1) This invention relates to an improved optical system for use in the so-called direct photographic method of laying down a mosaic of color phosphors upon the screenplate of a color-kinescope. The prior art as to such optical systems is exemplified by Epstein et al. U.S. Patents 2,817,276 and Epstein et al. 2,885,935.

-The dot-like (or line-like) phosphor-screens of colorkmescopes of the masked target variety are often prepared -by coating the screen-plate With a photo-resist, and exposing it through the apertures in the mask -to point sources of light placed, respectively, lat points corresponding to the deflection centers of the three scanning beams. These deflection centers shift with the angle of deflection. When, as is usually the case, the three beams are subjected to dynamic convergence the shift consists of two components. One component is parallel to the tube axis and gives rise to a radial displacement of the electron spots with respect to the corresponding phosphor dots prepared by exposure from fixed light sources. The second component is transverse, increasing the displacement of the effective source from the tube axis without changing its azimuth. The second component gives rise to degrouping, i.e. an increase in the size of the electron spot trios (i.e. electron triangles) over the size of the corresponding phosphor dot trios (Le. phosphor triangles) with deflection.

The present invention provides lens means which, when interposed between the light sources :and the apertured mask (or other optical stencil), causes the apparent light sources (as viewed through the lens) to shift in substantially the same lmanner with deflection angle (angle of inclination of the light ray) as the deflection centers of the electron beams shift with -deflection angle of the beam.

The design of a correcting lens for source displacement parallel to the tube axis has already been fully described by Epstein, Kaus and Van Ormer in U.S. Patent 2,817,276 (1955). The present disclosure is especially concerned with the design of an optical lens system which will effect lan apparent source displacement corresponding to the transverse shift of the effective deflection centers. In other words, the lens system of the present invention afford a correction of degrouping effects. A pair of lenses effecting the complete longitudinal and transverse displacement of the apparent light sources matching the displacement of the effective electron deflection centers can be obtained by adding the thickness of the Epstein et al. 2,817,276 radi-al correcting lens and of each degrouping correction lens of the present invention, at every point. As an alternative, the known radial correcting lens and the present lenses may be employed in tandem in the light box or lighthouse used for exposing the tube screen.

The invention is described in greater detail in con-nection with the accompanying four sheets of drawings, wherein:

FIG. 1 shows, qualitatively, electron-beam paths in a shadow-mask kinescope projected on a plane through the longitudinal axis of the tube. The three beams R (red), B (blue) and G (green) pass through the tubes normal plane of `deflection A-A in such a fashion that, as shown in FIG. la, the three beam centers form an equilateral triangle in said plane. As is now conventional in this type of kinescope (see RCA Review vol. XX, pp. 345-6) a converging ele-ctron-lens (or a set of converging pole pieces), not shown, with its electron-optical center in the plane F-F' is modulated electrically so that, for every `deflection angle, the three beams converge at the mask M of the tube. In this drawing (i.e. FIG. 1) the center lines of the three beams -are shown (both at the center and edge of tthe raster) as passing through the same mask aperture. If we now consider a hypothetical beam incident along the tube axis (identical, in the drawing with the projection of the blue beam B) then this hypothetical ray when projected rearwardly as a straight line from its point of incidence on the screen S will intersect the tube axis in a point. The plane D-D perpendicular to the tube axis through this point is defined as the instantaneous plane of deflection. The intersections with this plane D-D of the center lines of the incident beams continued as straight lines, namely R', B', G', are defined as the eflective centers of deflection of the three beams. The centers of the beam intersections with the screen g, b, r, may be found, for any one mask aperture, by Iconnecting with straight lines the three effective centers of `deflection for the deflection angle in question with the center of the aperture and continuing the resulting straight lines to the screen surface.

The position of the instantaneous plane of deflection D-D' is a function of the angle of deflection. The eflective center of the deflection yoke Y moves forward by a distance which, for small deflection angles, is proportional to the square of the tangent of the angle of deflection. At the same time, the yoke Y has a converging action which increases with angle of deflection. To compensate for this converging action and maintain the desired convergence at the mask or screen, the converging action of the fields or lens in the plane F-F' is reduced as a function of deflection angle. This results in a transverse displacement ofthe deflection centers Ro, R', Bo, B', G'o, G' which is proportional, over a large range of deflection angles, to the square ofthe tangent of the deflection angle. Accordingly, the three deflection centers form a triangle in the instantaneous plane of deflection, which expands with increasing angle of deflection. Since the electron spot trio centers on the screen may be regarded as projections of the three deflection centers through the mask aperture center4 corresponding to the trio in question, the trio centers on the screen also form triangles of increasing size if the separation between mask and screen is constant. In order to obtain uniform coverage of the screen with the spot trios the screen S is given a stronger curvature than the mask M, decreasing the distance between them with increasing distance from the tube axis. (As to this see Epstein et al. U.S.P. 2,885,935, FIG. 14.)

The set of phosphor dots corresponding to the electron spots from one particular beam are fixed on the screen by exposing a photosensitive layer on its surface through the mask M to a small light source centered on the deflection center for the beam 4in question. To obtain accurate centering between the phosphor dots and the electron spots the effective position of the light source is moved, along with the displacement of the effective deflection center, as the radius of the exposed ring zone on the screen is changed. In principle this could be accomplished by physically displacing the source and simultaneously changing the exposed zone with the aid of masks. It is more convenient, however, to hold the source fixed, e.g. at the deflection center corresponding to very small angles of deflection, and to interpose a lens between the deflection plane and the mask, which causes the source, as seen from any one mask aperture, to appear to be at the deflection center corresponding to that aperture.

Since both the displacement of the deflection plane along the axis and the transverse displacement of the effective deflection centers are relatively small (fractions of an inch), it is permissible to consider the lenses re'- quired for these two deflection center displacements separately. To a close approximation, the two lenses required for the individual corrections used in tandem, or combined into a single lens by addition of their thicknesses, will provide the desired total correction. A more precise prescription for the design of the lenses, applicable e.g. when the shift of the deflection plane is large, is given later on in this specification.

Prescriptions for the design of lenses which will yield the desired displacement of the apparent sources parallel to the axis are given by Epstein et al. in U.S. Patent 2,817,276. Such lenses are, in general, axially symmetric aspheric lenses. Furthermore, Epstein et al., in U.S. Patent 2,885,935, have described lenses with a different symmetry which will produce a transverseshift of the apparent source. However, it can be shown mathematically that this transverse shift of the apparent source is a function of azimuth as well as of deflection angle, so that the shift of the deflection center can be simulated only ap proximately. (The azimuth is the angle of any meridional plane with that meridional plane which contains the particular source.) In fact, for a flat, thin lens with continuous surfaces, the only displacement of the apparent source which is independent of azimuth 'is a fixed displacement. To attain such -a fixed displacement Ag, the thickness variation D(r) must have the following functional relationship: e

with

Agi Agn` 1/n2-l- (n2- 1)t2- l x/nZsOZ-l- (n2- IN2-sl,

Here r is the distance from the tube axis, p the azimuthal angle i (direction ofY source displacement: azimuth =90 n the refractive index of the lens; so, the distance between the source and the lens; and z=r/so the tangent of the deflection angle. It will be noted that for azimuths greater than the thickness becomes negative. Thus to realize the lens physically, it is necessary to add to D(r) a constant thickness of lens at least equal to Dg(r)mx. This added thickness of glass act as a weak axially symmetric lens and is regarded as part of the lens for correcting the longitudinal displacement of the deflection plane.

The correcting lenses which, in the present invention, are employedv to produce the desired transverse displacement of the apparent source have a discontinuous surface, with zones obeying Eqs. 2, with a series of different values of Ag. If the number of `zones is n, the values of Ag chosen to be Agm=m;%igmx, m=1, 2, s. .n (s) Here Agmx is the maximum value of the desired displacement, corresponding normally to the maximum deflection angle. The boundaries of the zones are given by the values of r=rm fulfilling the relation:

. Ag(rm):(n1/71)Agmax where Ag(r) =Ag(t) is the desired variation of the transverse displacement with the tangent of the deflection angle t or the lens radius r=st. If such a lens were ground perfectly, the maximum error in source displacement would be AgmaX/(Zn). The degrouping error would be reduced byv it by a factor equal to the reciprocal of twice the number of lens zones.

Actually, however, it is scarcely feasible to grind and polish a zone lens of the type described to any degree of perfection close to the discontinuities. The discontinuities would both obscure some of the apertures in the mask and scatter lightrays with an undesired direction of incidence toward others. Consequently a pair of lenses (see FIG. 3) are employed, each with approximately half the total number of zones. Each lens has annular regions between its zones which are centered on the annular discontinuities between the zones and these intermediate regions are opaqued. As will hereinafter more fully ap pear in connection with the description of FIG. 7, in laying down the color-phosphor mosaic on the target surface of t-he screen each phosphor bearing photosensitive layer'isexposed, in succession, through each of the steppd lenses 'for an equal period of time.

v As indicated in FIG. 3a, the boundaries of the opaquing are preferably shaded off in such fashion that the sum of the transmissions through the two leness at the same value of the radius r is constant and close to 1. The shading renders the centering of the lenses less critical. It will be noted that now, the grinding and polishing in the opaqued regions near the transition points can be adjusted to the convenience of the lens maker and that the discontinuities may be rounded off at will. The lenses may either be ground in one piece on a machine of the type described by Briggs in U.S. Patent 2,855,832, or the several Zones may be ground individually on the 'same type of machine and then fitted together. In FIG. 3 the thickness of the lenses is enormously exaggerated. The twol lenses shown in FIG. 3 are equivalent to a single zone lens with six zones and will thus reduce the maximum degrouping error by a factor of 1/12. More generally, the specifications for a pair of lenses equivalent to a single lens with n zones are given below:

(n+1)/2 for n odd 11./2 for n even Fixed source displacements for the individual zones, enumerated by the yindex m2:

As a typical example, assume that measurements of the degrouping error in a color kinescope with 90 total deflection indicate a variation in the transverse d-isplacement of the deilection center with the tangent t of ,the deection angle which displacement is given by:

Ag=0.2 t2 inch (11) Assume furthermore that a correcting lens, lens 1 or lens 2, is to be placed a distance of 5 inches from the light source, so that r=5t. If the maximum degrouping error is to be reduced by a factor of 1A2, correspondling to a source displacement of 0.0167 inch, this requires two complementary three zone lenses. The proles of these lenses, in the p=90 azimuth, are shown in FIG. 4, while their numerical dimensions are given in 'the table below:

Zone Center Zone Boundaries Boundaries of Clear Areas Zone Ag, t t r, Dg, t r, inch inches inch inches Lensl 0.646 4. 57 0.707 5.00 0.0699 Lens2 In the yabove table, Dg is the thickness of the lens in the azimuth =90, assuming n=1.54708.

Determination of desired transverse source displacement Ag and eective source-to-lens distance so from observed degroupng error Referring now to FIG. 5: Assume that a dot screen s has been prepared without correcting lenses and is inserted in a tube and that the electron spots formed bythree beams are observed on the tube screen. Assume furthernrore that the positioning of the sources during exposure corresponded to the ideection centers of the three beams for very small angles of deliecti-on. Then the spot trios near the center of the screen will be exactly centered on the corresponding phosphor dots. Now consider the spot and dot trios some distance from the axis, in an azimuthal plane through one of the sources. Here, -as shown in FIG. 5a, the center C of the beam spot trios and the center C of the corresponding phosphor dot trios are displaced by a distance CC' and the spot and dot centers for the source in the meridional plane, by a distance AA. C land C are e.g. the intersections of the three angle bisectors of the triangles formed by the centers of the three dots and the corresponding three electron spots, respectively. CC is then the radial misregister error. The difference of AA and CC is the degronping error. The problem is to correct these twlo errors by two lenses, whose position is set in advance, usually approximately half-way between mask and deflection plane.

First design the radial misregister correcting lens. For this purpose replace the degrouping correcting lens with a piece of plate glass (FIG. 5) with a thickness equal to the center thickness of the degrouping correcting lens; this thickness may be made slightly larger than an estimated value :of Dgmax. Rays are traced from C through .the corresponding mask aperture center and the plate of fglass, one surface of the radial misregister correcting lens being given such a slope as to -direct the ray to the intersection 0 with tube axis of the plane containing the sources, that is, the deflection plane for negligibly small deflection angles. This process of ray tracing is described 40 in greater detail in Epstein et al. U.S. Patent 2,817,276.

By tracing a series of such rays the profile lof the radial misregister correcting lens (i.e. lens 3) is established.

As `shown in FIG. 5, the ray from C through the center yof the corresponding aperture, continued as a straight line, Lmeets the tube axis in the point E. The distance from E to the front surface of the at piece of glass is the value of S0(t) nfor the ray inclination in question t. A straight line from A' through the same aperture center intersects the normal plane through E at R. A ray vfrom A through the same aperture center after refraction by the flat piece of glass and the radial misregister lens, meets the normal plane through 0 at R". If R is the source position corresponding to A', the desired displacement Ag(t) of the source becomes:

RRHER,

Equation 2 establishes the proper thickness variation of a zone giving exact degrouping correction for the inclination t.. By repeating the operation for `a series of suitably spaced distances rfrom the center of the screen, this procedure establishes the rdired zone structure for the entire lens.

Y lenses can be applie-d either on the at side or on the discontinuous side of the lens. Furthermore, the proper grading of the transmission can be established either by evaporation of absorbing material in vacuum or by the axis). .from the lens and a distance a from the source, is placed ,with intensity decreasing from the center outward is placed on the axis of the lens (corresponding to the tube Between the lens and .the source, at a dista-nce b a diaphragm with a narrow ring aperture, the opaque center section being supported by a spider of thin Wires bridging the ring aperture. The average radius of the ring aperture is made equal to a/ (a-f-b) times the nadius of the center of the lens zone to be opaqued. If the width of the Zone to be opaqued in the absence of a transition region is 2xo-l-L and the width of the desired transition region is L, the diameter of the circular light source should be (a/ b) (2xo-l-2L). If we desire a linear variation of the transmission (eg. from 1 at the edge of the zone to 0 at the inner boundary of the transistion region) 4-and if the density of the developed emulsion is proportional to the exposure it can be shown that the variation in brightness of the source should be given by:

At the lower limit of this range of r, the expression for the brightness becomes infinite. Before this point is reached the brightness in the actual source attains a limiting value, which can be maintained right up to the center 'of thesource. lTo obtain more complete opacity, a ring rincrease the radius of the ring aperture simultaneously as needed) lfor the exposure of the outlying zones; if the :same light source is employed throughout, the transition zone widths then decrease simply in the same ratio as the opaqued-zone widths. To obtain equal exposure times yfor the different zones, the width ds of the ring aperture vshould be made such that the quantity ds cos4 qs (14) (a-lb)b remains constant. Here qs is the angle of inclination of the light rays from the center of the light source. The above procedure, applied to both complementary lenses, leads to Ian approximately uniform sum of transmission for the entire lens area.

A lighthouse Isimilar Ito the `one shown in Epstein et al. 2,817,276 may be used in laying down the colorphosphor mosaics on the target surface of the screenplate. Such a lighthouse is shown in FIG. 7. It cornprises a pedestal having an open top 12 upon which the front end lor top-cap 14 of the kinescope is supported with the center of the screen-plate S and mask M on the central laxis X-X of the pedestal. A source of light comprising an ultra-violet lamp 16 and a quartz rod 18 mounted on a turntable adjacent to the base of the pedestal, for rotation about the central` axis X-X. The

terminal 18a of the quartz rod 18 preferably lies yin a dicated generally at 22, may be provided for bringing -the terminal 18a selectively to the three positions corresponding to the color-centers of the three beams in said plane. An annular shelf 24 within the pedestal 10 serves as support for the radial misregister and degnouping correcting lenses., The curved surface of the radial misregister lensv`(lens 3) is preferably presented to the source of the'light so that its plane (upper) surface may serve, selectively, as a support for the degrouping lenses.

The exposure of the screen with the radial misregister and degroupng correcting lenses is carried out as follows: The radial misregister lens is kept permanently fixed in position, say, on the axis of the lighthouse. Then, with the photosensitive layer 24 for the green dots on the screen surface, the light source is placed in the appropriate position for the green beam and the degrouping correcting lens No. 1 is oriented so that its 90 azimuth corresponds to the source position. The screen is then exposed. Then Lens No. 1 is exchanged4 with Lens No. 2 with the same orientation and the exposure is repeated for an equal length of time. The green dots on the screen are then developed and fixed. Next, the screen is coated with the photosensitive emulsion corresponding to the red dots, the source is rotated along with Lens No. 2 to the position for the red beam and an exposure is made followed by second exposure of equal length with Lens No. l replacing Lens No. 2. Then the red dots are developed and fixed and the process is repeated forv the blue dots.
