Definitions

  • the first part of the discharge takes place so rapidly that the return line on the television screen is not visible.
  • Fig. 1 shows the scanned picture area with the course of the return line
  • Figs. 2 and 3 show exemplary embodiments of the invention for removing the visible portion of the return line from the picture area.
  • Fig. 1 the upper part of the return line commences with a sharp bend at I and is completely invisible up to the point 2.
  • the lower part of the return line owing to the slower wandering velocity over the picture screen is thickened, and is visible in a disturbing fashion in the image.
  • the anode of the glow lamp 3 after commencement of the ignimatically in Fig. 2.
  • 3 is a glow lamp, which is preferably operated with a grid of suitable constant, negative bias, and 5 a condenser, which is charged in the known fashion by the battery 6
  • a power amplifier l with wattless input.
  • a retarding member which consists, for example, of the resistance 8 and the condenser 9, and the primary winding of a step down high-frequency transformer Hi.
  • the secondary winding of this transformer which winding is preferably constructed with very low highfrequency impedance, and which transformer may be bridged by a small condenser II, is connected in series with the discharge circuit.
  • the high-frequency impulse wave reaches the primary winding of IO, and produces in the secondary winding a potential impulse, the value of which is at least equal to the particular relaxation condenser potential at the moment, andpreferably is greater than the remaining potential, and the phase of which for the first moment of the condenser potential is oppositely directed.
  • this counter-potential it may readily be accomplished that the duration of the potential-less condition at the anode of the glow tube suffices for a complete de-ionization of the are.
  • the sub-- sequent disposal of the secondary winding of the transformer is accordingly unimportant, and possible oscillation effects thereof are without harm, as the discharge tube, owing to the occurrence of the grid effect, is again blocked for all anode potentials.
  • Fig. 3 An additional form of embodiment of the idea according to the invention is illustrated diagrammatically in Fig. 3.
  • the counter-impulse which blocks the discharge is not derived by reaction from the discharge operation itself, but from the synchronization potential, for example a signal potential.
  • This potential is indicated in Fig. 3 by the generator 12.
  • this potential is necessary in any case for the operation, and is supplied by the television receiving apparatus to the relaxation oscillation system. Alternatively, this potential may also be taken from the supply potential at the terminals of the condenser 5.
  • the potential I2 is first conducted over a phase shifter l 3, which produces its correct chronological relation to the discharge phase. It then passes to a suitable amplifier l5.
  • This amplifier must be in a position to produce at the impedance resistance 16 connected in the discharge circuit, for example a small coil, a potential of small amount, which is sufficient to make the anode potential at the glow discharge tube 3 for a suflicient length of time equal to zero or negative.
  • the form of the curve after this point is unimportant.
  • the amplifier 15 there is preferably connected in series a highpass filter ll, the reactance of which for the useful frequency of the relaxation oscillation is extremely high.
  • the charging condenser is on each occasion discharged, not down to zero, but merely. down to the potential corresponding with the point 2 of the return line.
  • This loss of potential may be counter-balanced without difficulty by The method increasing the working potential.
  • the invention enables television images to be produced, which are completely free of a visible return line.
