Definitions

  • This invention relates to color cathode ray tubes having aperture masks, and more particularly relates to improved internal magnetic shields for such tubes.
  • Color cathode ray tubes for color television (color picture tubes) employing aperture masks are known to be sensitive to external magnetic fields, especially the earth's magnetic field, which can undesirably influence the trajectories of the electron beams, causing shifting and distortion of the screen raster, as well as degradation of color purity and convergence. For example, shifting of a beam trajectory to the right or left will result in a beam landing error in a tube with vertically oriented phosphor stripes. That is, the beam will land to the right or left of the intended landing area on the stripe.
  • these shields are customarily fabricated from a soft magnetic material, such as low carbon steel, enabling ready remagnetization each time the television set is turned on.
  • the shape of the shield is in general dictated by the desire to have as much of the tube volume shielded as possible, without having the shield interfere with the tube's operation. For example, extending the shield too far back into the funnel risks interference with the magnetic deflection field for the electron beams, as well as physical interception or "clipping" of the deflected beams. In addition, cost considerations dictate as simple a shape as possible.
  • the shield is composed of two curved sheets of magnetic material, said to make processing, storing, transportation and assembly convenient and easy.
  • an external shield is employed to cover the gaps created by the opening between the two curved sheets "to provide complete shielding".
  • the effect of the earth's magnetic field on beam landing in terms of two components; the east-west effect, determined by a transverse horizontal field, and the north-south effect, determined by an axial horizontal field.
  • the magnitude of these effects is the difference between the beam landing errors in the east and west-facing directions, and the north and south-facing directions, respectively.
  • the tube's surface in terms of the face of an analog clock. Thus, the top is 12 o'clock, the bottom is 6 o'clock, the right side (as seen by the viewer) is 3 o'clock and the left side is 9 o'clock.
  • an improved internal magnetic shield for a color tube comprising a structure generally following the contour of the funnel having at least one slot-shaped opening in both the 6 and 12 o'clock sides of the shield, each slot aligned in the direction of the axis of rotation or Z axis of the tube, and an aperture surrounding the Z axis for passing the tube's electron beams, said aperture being oblong-shaped having a ratio of length (L a ) to width (W a ) of from about 1.7 to 2.1.
  • such an improved shield is fabricated by first cutting slots into a foil sheet of soft magnetic material such as low carbon steel, and then forcing the sheet over a bowl-shaped form to simultaneously stretch and crimp the sheet into a structure adapted to follow the contour of the funnel of the cathode ray tube. Subsequently, an aperture is cut into the shield.
  • GB-A-2 000 902 It is known from GB-A-2 000 902 that usually magnetic shield members are fabricated by drawing a soft steel plate, however GB-A-2 000 902 does not describe the time of forming slits and/or an aperture in such shield members.
  • cathodoluminescent screen 21 Disposed on the interior surface of face panel 15 is cathodoluminescent screen 21, consisting of an array of discrete phosphor elements.
  • a multi-apertured mask 25 Positioned adjacent screen 21 is a multi-apertured mask 25 for directing the electron beams to the desired phosphor elements on the screen.
  • Aperture mask 25 is supported by frame member 29, which is in turn supported by studs 27 embedded in the sidewall of pane 15.
  • IMS internal magnetic shield
  • the structure 39 of shield 31 extends from the periphery of the mask 25 downward along the funnel 17 towards the mount 22, generally following the contour of the funnel wall, until it terminates in a mid-region between the mask and mount to define aperture 47. While a further extension of the shield would result in improved shielding, it would also present the risk of interference with the magnetic beam deflection field produced by external deflection means (not shown) positioned in the transition region between the funnel and the neck, as well as actual physical interception (clipping) of the electron beams.
  • the shield 31 is seen in plan view from the rear or mount end of the tube, as viewed along the Z axis.
  • the top, left side, bottom, and right side of the shield are labelled the 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock sides, respectively.
  • the slots 41a and 41b are located in the centres of the 6 and 12 o'clock sides.
  • the slots may also be located off-center, for example within a central region of the 6 and 12 o'clock sides, this region defined as extending up to 40 percent of the length of La of the aperture. There may also be more than one slot in a sidewall, but preferably there will be the same number of slots in each sidewall. In addition, the facing slots need not be superjacent as shown, but may be displaced relative to one another, within the central region defined.
  • the slots have a height h which is from about 50 to 95 percent of the height Hs of the shield from the rim 48 to the straight edge 49 of the aperture 47, and a width w which is from about 1 to 10 percent of the length Lr of the shield at the rim 48.
  • the aperture 47 is oblong-shaped, having a length-to-width ratio of from about 1.7 to 2.1, and having a central region defined by straight edges 49 and two end regions defined by curved edges 50. As may be seen more clearly in Figs. 1 and 3, the central region of the aperture lies in a plane normal to the Z axis, while the end regions lie in upwardly curving surfaces, resulting in the curved edge profile seen in Fig. 3.
  • the aperture has a width Wa which is from about 49 to 51 percent of the width Wr of the shield at the rim 48, and a length La which is from about 65 to 69 percent of the length Lr.
  • the amount of upward curvature of the end regions of the aperture, resulting from the intersection of the sidewalls with the oblong-shaped structure is indicated by the height Hc of the shield from the rim 48 to the outer point 52 of curved edge 50, and this height Hc may range from about 85 to 90 percent of the height Hs.
  • the aperture has a larger length-to-width ratio than the apertures of certain prior shield designs (about 2 versus 1.3). This change has the effect of improving north-south shielding, but at the expense of slightly reduced east-west shielding. East-west shielding is at least partially recovered, however, by introducing the slots into the 6 and 12 o'clock sidewalls.
  • 19V mini neck color tubes having a shield of the invention and a prior art shield were fabricated and compared for registration differences.
  • Registrations were measured on several sample tubes for each type of shield and averaged. Measurements were taken at the four corners of the screen for each sample tube oriented successively in the west, south, east, north and west directions. Registration differences between north and south facing orientations averaged about 0.015 mm or is less for the inventive shield versus about 0.03 mm for the prior art shield. Registration differences between east and west facing orientations averaged about 0.015 mm for the inventive shield versus about 0.013 mm for the prior art shield. The significant improvement in north-south shielding at the expense of a slight decrease in east-west shielding resulted in a beneficial correction of the effects of external magnetic fields, and a consequent overall improvement in tube performance.
  • the shield is fabricated from a foil sheet of soft magnetic material, such as low carbon steel.
  • the sheet is shaped by forcing it over a mold, resulting in simultaneously stretching and crimping it into the desired shape.
  • the crimps are represented in the drawings by the randomly distributed looped and wavy lines.
  • the slots are preferably formed before shaping (such as by cutting or punching) because after shaping the slots lie in a curved surface and forming in such a surface is more difficult than in a flat surface. Because the slots are located in an area of the foil which undergoes considerable stretching during shaping, it is important that the slots adhere to the dimensional and other limitations set forth herein, in order to avoid tearing of the foil or deformation of the slots or both, during shaping. For the same reasons, the aperture is preferably formed after shaping.
