Description
- The invention relates to a deflection yoke apparatus to be mounted on a neck of cathode-ray tube for projecting rasters on a screen by scanning with at least one electron beam, comprising
- (a) a pair of horizontal deflection coils for generating a magnetic field to deflect said electron beam in a horizontal direction,
- (b) a pair of vertical deflection coils for generating a magnetic field to deflect said electron beam in a vertical direction,
- (c) a coil separator for electrically insulating between said both deflection coils, said coil separator being provided with an expanded part at its front end,
- (d) a funnel-shaped deflection core which forms a magnetic path for a magnetic flux generated when a deflection current is supplied to said horizontal and vertical deflection coils and a deflection magnetic field for deflecting said electron beam inside said annular deflection core and an externally leaking magnetic field outside said annular deflection core.
- Recently more stringent standards have been introduced for certain types of picture display devices, notably for monitors, with respect to the leaking magnetic fields which they may produce around them. An important source of magnetic interference fields is the pair of horizontal (or line) deflection coils which may be operated at deflection currents with frequencies of 15.75 kHz to 120 kHz. It is impossible to design a satisfactorily operating deflection yoke apparatus which does not produce a leaking field. If the leaking field were to be eliminated by means of a protective shield, such a shield would only be effective if the combination of display tube and deflection unit were also shielded on the display screen side. It is true that the leaking magnetic field of a deflection unit is not very strong; at a distance of 50 cm from the front side of a deflection unit for a 110° monochrome display tube the field strength has already decreased to approximately 1% of the strength of the earth's magnetic field, but it is the variation of the leaking field with respect to time which is important. Field variations may cause electromagnetic interferences in other electronic apparatus which causes these electronic apparatuses to malfunction. Also research is being done to establish whether human health is affected by these leaking fields. Nowadays the time derivative of the field of the deflection yoke apparatus increases with the increase of the line frequencies and hence with increasingly shorter fly-back periods.
- For compensating the leaking field of the pair of horizontal deflection coils the use of a compensation coil means which, when energized, generates a compensating magnetic dipole field has been proposed in EP-A-220 777. This dipole field can be obtained by energizing one auxiliary coil whose turns have been wound around a bobbin in a square form which coil has the correct number of turns, the correct surface area and the correct orientation. Energization may be effected, for example, by arranging the said coil in series with or parallel to the pair of horizontal deflection coils. The compensation field may be obtained alternatively by energizing two of such auxiliary coils which are positioned on either side of the deflection yoke apparatus which auxiliary coils have the correct number of turns, the correct surface area and the correct orientation. Also in this case energization may be effected, for example, by arranging the auxiliary coils in series with or parallel to the pair of horizontal coils.
- The auxiliary coils are preferably large so as to reduce their energy content.
- However, a problem is that many types of display devices (particularly monitors) lack the space to accommodate large auxiliary coils in their correct position. Consequently, relatively small (too small) auxiliary coils can only be used so that the compensation of the leaking fields consumes much (deflection) energy. Moreover, the sensitivity of the pair of horizontal deflection coils is affected if the known auxiliary coils are arranged in series with them. The induction then increases.
- It is known from EP-A-0 346 972 to arrange two auxiliary coil means at diametrically opposed positions in the vertical direction outside the deflection core to generate a magnetic field with a direction opposed to the direction of said leaking magnetic field when a horizontal deflection current is supplied to said means, wherein each auxiliary coil means has an auxiliary coil and a magnetic rod made of soft magnetic material as a magnetic core for said coil. The magnetic rods are positioned relative to the screen-side end of the deflection core in a magnetic flux coupling relationship with it.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide measures enabling a compensation of the leaking magnetic field which costs less energy and less sensitivity than the known measures.
- According to the invention this object is solved in that the deflection yoke apparatus of the type described in the opening paragraph has
- (e) two auxiliary coil means which are arranged at diametrically opposed positions in said vertical direction outside said deflection core to generate a magnetic field with a direction opposed to the direction of said externally leaking magnetic field when a horizontal deflection current is supplied to said means, wherein each auxiliary coil means has an auxiliary coil and a magnetic rod made of soft magnetic material as a magnetic core for said coil, and
- (f) an engaging means for engaging the magnetic rods of said auxiliary coil means in magnetic flux coupling relationship with the smaller diameter end of the deflection core.
- The effectiveness of the inventive solution for radiation compensation, which is based on the use of rod-shaped auxiliary core means of a magnetizable material provided with (toroidal) auxiliary coils, is both superior to solutions which are based on the use of coreless, i.e. air-cored auxiliary coils and to solutions which are based on the use of auxiliary coils wound on magnetic rods which are not engaging the smaller diameter end of the deflection core in magnetic flux coupling relationship.
- In practice the inventive solution was found to compensate the leaking fields effectively, while there was a reduced loss of deflection sensitivity (in a given case, for example, a reduction by a factor 5 as compared with conventional auxiliary coil means).
- As the magnetic rods of the two auxiliary coil means of the inventive solution are arranged in magnetic flux-coupling relationship with the smaller diameter end of the deflection core, the assembly of deflection core and magnetic rods acts, as it were, like one magnetic core of minimum length.
- An engaging means is provided for engaging the magnetic rods of the auxiliary coil means in the required magnetic flux-coupling relationship with the deflection core.
- A preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that said engaging means comprises an annular member through which the deflection core passes, which annular member has two support members which support the magnetic rods in inclined positions towards the smaller diameter end of the deflection core, and connection parts which connect the annular member to the expanded part of the coil separator.
- This construction provides a stable and simple support for supporting the magnetic rods of the auxiliary coil means in a desired angled relationship with the smaller diameter end of the deflection core.
- The stability may be improved by bonding the end faces of the magnetic rods to the deflection core.
- The simplicity may be improved by using connection parts in the form of click-on mounts.
- These and other embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.

- Figure 2 is a front view of the apparatus in Figure 1.
