Description
- The present invention relates to a cathode ray tube apparatus and, more particularly, a cathode ray tube apparatus intended to reduce magnetic fluxes leaked outside the apparatus from a horizontal deflection coil unit of the deflection yoke.
- As the VDUs (visual display units) become more and more popular in the community of users, dispute has been focused on what influences are added to the human body by magnetic fields leaked from the VDU. It is not concluded yet whether or not the magnetic fluxes leaked add in fact any influence to the human body and what causes the influence, if any, results from. However, the north Europe moves to issue a notice about and attract attention to the influence of the leakage magnetic fluxes which may be added to the human body. The National Council for Metrology and Testing in Sweden, for example, recommends in a guide line (MPR-P 1988) relating to the rule of testing and evaluating the VDUs that the magnetic fields, particularly horizontal deflection magnetic fluxes leaked on a sphere which has a radius of 65 cm (or 50 cm in front of the face plate on the tube axis) around the center of the VDU (or a point separated 15 cm inward from the surface of the face plate along the tube axis) should have a magnetic flux density B equal to and smaller than 50 nT and an induced magnetic flux density dB/dt equal to and smaller than 25 mT/s.

- Fig. 6 shows a distribution of compensating magnetic fluxes on a vertical plane separated by 65 cm from the center of VDU in the color cathode ray tube apparatus shown in Figs. 5A and 5B; and
- Figs. 7A and 7B show distributions of magnetic fluxes intended to explain how compensating magnetic fluxes add influence to the landing characteristic in the cathode ray tube apparatus shown in Figs. 5A and 5B and provided with two pairs of compensating coil units and how compensating magnetic fluxes add influence to the landing characteristic in the case of the conventional cathode ray tube apparatus provided with a pair of compensating coil units.
- Figs. 5A and 5B show a color cathode ray tube apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention. The cathode ray tube apparatus includes a color
cathode ray tube 20, adeflection yoke 21 attached to the outer circumference of thetube 20, and a compensatingassembly 22 similarly attached to the outer circumference of thetube 20 to generate compensating magnetic fluxes. The colorcathode ray tube 20 has anenvelope 27 comprising apanel 25 provided with a face plate and askirt 24 along the outer rim thereof and afunnel 26 integrally connected to thepanel 25. Formed on the inner face of the face plate is aphosphor screen 28 comprising three phosphor layers for emitting blue, green and red light rays when electron beams land on these layers. Ashadow mask 29 is arranged adjacent to thephosphor screen 28 and inside thepanel 25. Theshadow mask 29 is provided with apertures through which the electron beams are allowed to pass, and it includes amask body 30 opposed to thephosphor screen 25 and amask frame 31 for supporting the outer rim portion of themask body 30. These components are made of magnetic material such as low carbon steel. An innermagnetic shield 33 also made of magnetic material is attached to themask frame 31 of theshadow mask 29 and projected from themask frame 31 into aconical portion 34 of thefunnel 26. Anelectron gun assembly 36 for generating three electron beams is arranged in aneck 35 of thefunnel 26. An inner dag-coating 37 is formed on the inner face of thecone 34 of thefunnel 26, spreading near to the inner face of the neck, and an outer dag-coating 38 is formed on the outer face of thecone 34. -
Reference numeral 39 represents an explosion-proof band for tightening theskirt 24 of thepanel 25 andreference numeral 40 denotes a positive electrode terminal located at thecone 34 of thefunnel 26. - The
deflection yoke 21 is attached to the outer surface of thecone 34 and theneck 35. Thedeflection yoke 21 comprises a horizontal deflection coil unit for deflecting those three electron beams, which are emitted from theelectron gun assembly 36, in the horizontal direction, a vertical deflection coil unit for deflecting the electron beams in the vertical direction, and a magnetic core. Particularly thedeflection yoke 21 of the cathode ray tube apparatus shown in Figs. 5A and 5B includes at least the horizontal deflection coil unit wound like a saddle, and the magnetic core. - In the case of the cathode ray tube apparatus shown in Figs. 5A and 5B, the compensating
assembly 22 for generating compensating magnetic fields comprises a front side pair of compensatingcoil units 22a, 22b and a rear side pair of compensatingcoil units 22c, 22d which are located on both sides of aplane 7 perpendicular to the tube axis and passing through center of horizontal deflection leakage magnetic fluxes generated from the horizontal deflection coil unit of thedeflection yoke 21. The front side pair of compensatingcoil units 22a and 22b are symmetrical relative to a horizontal plane which is aligned with the axis Z of the colorcathode ray tube 20, and they are fixed by adhesive, for example, to the outer face of theskirt 24 of thepanel 25 in which theshadow mask 29 is arranged or to that of thecone 34 of thefunnel 26 in which the innermagnetic shield 33 is arranged, in such a way that they are opposed to each other with the horizontal plane interposed between them. Particularly in the case of fixing them onto theskirt 24 of thepanel 25, they can be easily fixed there, using the explosion-proof band 39 which tightens theskirt 24. Similarly, the rear side pair of compensatingcoil units 22c and 22d are symmetrical relative to the horizontal plane which is on the axis Z of the color cathode ray tube and they are fixed to the magnetic core of thedeflection yoke 21 in such a way that they are opposed to each other with the horizontal plane interposed between them.Coil units 22a and 22b are substantially same in size and shape andcoil units 22c and 22d are also substantially same in size and shape but it is determined by the distribution of magnetic fields leaked outside the envelope how many turns their coils have and how they are tilted relative to the horizontal plane. They are connected in series or parallel to the horizontal deflection coil unit of thedeflection yoke 21 and energized by signal applied from asignal generator 42. Thesignal generator 42 includes a horizontal signal generator circuit for generating horizontal deflection current, and current which is proportional to the horizontal deflection current is supplied from thissignal generator 42 to the compensatingcoil units signal generator 42 is kept independent of the horizontal signal generator circuit. Current proportional in a level to, synchronous with and same in time change as the horizontal deflection current is supplied from thesignal generator 42 to the compensatingcoil units - When the front and rear sizes pairs of compensating
coil units - 1) When positions of the front and rear sides pairs of compensating
coil units panel 26 of the colorcathode ray tube 20 and separated 65 cm from the center of the VDU according to the examination and evaluation rule for the VDU, and as shown byarrows 44 in Fig. 6, there can be formed compensating magnetic fluxes similar to that of the conventional cathode ray tube apparatus in which a pair of compensating coil units are arranged on the plane passing through centers of horizontal deflection leakage magnetic fluxes. - 2) Leakage magnetic fluxes could not be compensated to the full extent by the conventional cathode ray tube apparatus because horizontal deflection leakage magnetic fluxes are different in phase from compensating magnetic fluxes as shown in Figs. 4A and 4B. When the front and rear sides pairs of compensating coil units are arranged as shown in Figs. 5A and 5B, however, compensating magnetic fluxes which are substantially in phase with horizontal deflection leakage magnetic fluxes generated from the
deflection yoke 21 can be generated to effectively compensate magnetic fields leaked due to a positional relationship between magnetic materials such as theshadow mask 29 and the innermagnetic shield 33 and the front and rear side pairs of compensating coil units. - 3) When the front and rear sides pairs of compensating
coil units deflection yoke 21 can be reduced. Namely, the deflection power usually depends upon the impedance Z of the deflection coil unit and providing that the resistance of deflection and compensating coil units is represented by R and their inductance by L, |Z| =
When two pairs of compensatingcoil units 22a, 22b and 22c, are are used as seen in the case of the cathode ray tube apparatus shown in Figs. 5A and 5B, therefore, the total of numbers of turns of these coil units becomes substantially same as that of one pair of compensating coil units in the case of the conventional apparatus, but L becomes smaller and the total of inductances of the two paired coil units is made smaller even if compensating magnetic fluxes by the two paired coil units are same in level as that by the one paired coil units. As the result, the power loss can be further reduced by the two pairedcoil units - 4) In the case of the conventional cathode ray tube apparatus in which one pair of compensating coil units are arranged on the plane which passes through the center of horizontal deflection leakage magnetic fluxes, compensating
magnetic fluxes 46 which are directed in same direction as effectivemagnetic fluxes 45 generated from the horizontal deflection coil unit of thedeflection yoke 21 are generated, as shown in Fig. 7B, at that area through which the electron beams pass. The electron beams are thus deflected to a greater extent and their landing is shifted outside the three phosphor layers of the phosphor screen.
In the apparatus wherein the front and rear sides pairs of compensatingcoil units coil units 22a and 22b generate compensatingmagnetic fluxes 46a in a same direction as that of the effectivemagnetic fluxes 45 in a space in which the electron beams passes by the horizontal deflection coil unit of thedeflection yoke 21. However, the rear side pair of compensatingcoil units 22c and 22d generate compensatingmagnetic fluxes 46b in an opposite direction as that of the effectivemagnetic fluxes 45. The total of compensating magnetic fluxes can be thus made substantially zero in the electron-beams-passing space, thereby preventing the electron beams from being landed outside their respective phosphor layers. - 5) When the front and rear sides pairs of compensating coil units are arranged, as shown in Figs. 5A and 5B, their attaching positions can be changed more freely and easily.
- Table 1 shows more concrete values of the two pairs of compensating
coil units coil units - Table 2 shows the comparison of characteristics of the cathode ray tube apparatus, in which the two pairs of compensating
coil units coil units - As shown in Table 2, the induced magnetic flux densities dB/dt are 13 mT/s at the distance of 30 cm before the panel and 9 mT/s on the sphere having a radius of 65 cm around the center of the VDU and the increased part of inductance is 9.3%, which values are the best achieved by the conventional cathode ray tube apparatus in which the one pair of compensating coil units are included. When the two pairs of compensating coil units are used in such a way that the one pair of them are located adjacent to the panel of the funnel and opposed to each other parallel to and in front of the plane perpendicular to the tube axis and passing through the centers of horizontal deflection leakage magnetic fields and that the other pair of them are located on the magnetic core of the deflection yoke and opposed to each other parallel to and at the back of the plane, however, the induced magnetic flux density dB/dt can be reduced to 6 mT/s at the distance of 30 cm before the panel and the increased part of inductance to 7.8%.
- When the compensating assembly for generating compensating magnetic fluxes to reduce horizontal deflection leakage magnetic fluxes includes plural pairs of compensating coil units and at least one pair of them are located on one side of the plane perpendicular to the tube axis and passing through the centers of horizontal deflection leakage magnetic fluxes while at least the other one pair of them on the other side of the plane, as described above, compensating magnetic fluxes generated from the one pair of them on one side of the plane can be made hardly different in phase from horizontal deflection leakage magnetic fields in front of the phosphor screen to effectively compensate the horizontal deflection leakage magnetic fluxes. Thus, horizontal deflection leakage magnetic fluxes can be effectively compensated by compensating magnetic fluxes.
- As described above, the present invention can provide a cathode ray tube apparatus capable of fully compensating leakage magnetic fluxes, particularly those leaked in front of the phosphor screen of the VDU.
