Definitions

  • the present invention deals with elimination of the influence of this deflection.
  • the cathode ray passing through the anode is again centralized in the tube axis by a concentric cylinder.
  • Fig. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the invention
  • Fig. 2 illustrates the rectifying action of my invention when connected as in Fig. 3.
  • Fig. 3 shows a modification of my invention.
  • Fig. 4 shows a further modification.
  • Figs. 5 and 6 illustrate alternative arrangements of the elements of a cathode ray tube.
  • Fig. 1 The. arrangement according to the invention is illustrated in a possible form of embodiment in Fig. 1.
  • l is the Braun tube having the hot cathode 2, the Wehnelt cylinder 3 and the anode 4.
  • the anode i is furnished with a slit of approximately 1 millimetre in width and 2-3 millimetres in length, or possibly also with a small tube, by means of which the cathode ray is shuttered.
  • i0 is a main line connection apparatus, which supplies the cathode 5 2 with the necessaryheating potential of, for
  • the Wehnelt cylinder 3 for example through the medium of a resistance 2!, with a negative bias of, say, -300 volts, and the anode t with a positive potential of, say, 3,000 volts against the cathode.
  • the terminal for the positive end of the anode potential +3,000 volts is preferably taken to earth, and is connected through the medium of a potentiometer resistance ii of, for example, 10 megohms with the terminal for the negative cylinder bias of .300 volts.
  • the control of the intensity may be performed by connection of the light control amplifier l3 over a condenser It, of, for example, 10 cm., which either controls at the terminal I5 the Wehnelt cylinder, or at-the terminal IS the In'the'former case the deflecting plate 5 merely'has the significance of preliminary centralization of the ray; the second method of control, however, offers considerably greater advantages. It is particularly desirable '10 in a tube of this kind to make all ofthe metallic parts, with the exception of the one electrode, for
  • the anode i. e., boththe deflecting plate as well as the cylinder, of' non-magnetic material
  • the anode is preferably produced from mag- .15 netic material, such as nickel, in order to suitably set the ray by.magnetic bias.
  • the adjustment of the Braun tube is, therefore, then performed preferably as follows:
  • the anode is polarized by means of a magnet in such fashion 20 that the irregularities of the Wehnelt cylinder are substantially compensated.
  • the Wehnelt cylinder acts by. reason of itsinitial potential in greatly concentrating. fashion on the cathode ray, so thatthe latter is concentrated substantially to the slit in the anode.
  • the deflecting plate 5 is now adjusted in such manner that the cathode ray meets against the upper or'lower edge of the gap, dependent :on the fact as to whether it is desired to produce a positive or negative image 1 of the amplitude control.
  • the cathode ray controlled in its intensity by this plate through the medium of the light control amplifier then passes the anode in a somewhat deflected direction, is again brought along the central path by the centralizing cylinder, and passes the two deflecting plate'systems, of which there is impressed on the one the line frequency and on the other the image frequency.
  • Braun tubes of this nature which are con- 40 trolled in their intensity by a non-concentrically acting control element, are admirably suited for direct control by the high frequencies transmitting the intensity amplitude,-whilst avoiding a particular rectifier, and also more particularly a 5 special low frequency-amplifier. If thecathode ray is adjusted in such fashion, more particularly by means of the control electrode 5, that exactly the smallest maximum amplitude of the transmitted oscillation conforming with the darkness 50 or brightness respectively has no influence on the intensity, i. e., lifts the ray exactly up to the edge, an adjustment of thisnature produces a rectifying effect, by means of which, with a surficient high frequency output, the use of a rectifler with after-connected low frequency amplifier is rendered superfluous.
  • Fig. 2 these conditions are illustrated diagrammatically.
  • I! is the high frequency oscillation, the peak amplitudes of which are represented by the bounding lines 18.
  • I9 is the maximum modulation amplitude, which accordingly conforms to complete darkness or complete brightness.
  • the cathode ray is so adjusted that the same meets against the upper or lower edge of the light gap exactly at thispotential.
  • the connection of the Braun tube may be exactly the same, as disclosed by Fig. 3, in which the same designations have been employed as in Fig. 1.
  • the high frequency amplifier 26 Naturally it is also possible to employ a pair of plates for control purposes, as illustrated in a possible form of embodiment in Fig. 4.
  • the single elements of the Braun tube have been furnished with the same numerals.
  • the deflecting plate there'are a pair of deflecting plates 26 and 21, to which the control oscillations are conducted by a high frequency amplifier via the transformer 22, the secondary coil of which forms together with the condenser 23 an oscillatory circuit damped in regulable fashion by the resistance 24.
  • the constant initial voltage is again conducted to the electrode 25 from the potentiometer ll over the resistance [2, whereby it is certainly to be observed that in order to permit of deflection the constant initial potential of the electrode 21 requires to possess a difierent value, which may be produced by the inclusion of an auxiliary battery 25 in the line leading to this electrode.
  • the deflecting electrode, or pair of electrodes, controlling the intensity are disposed at such a distance away from the W ehnelt cylinder as-may be required to ensure the necessary sharpness of the point.
  • Fig. 5 there is illustrated a tube of this nature in a possible form of embodiment.
  • 2 is the cathode, 3 the W'ehnelt cylinder, 5 the deflecting electrode controlling the intensity, 4 the anode, 6 the after-concentration cylinder, and l and 8 the deflecting plates bearing the image and line frequencies.
  • the second, pair of plates 8 are of such width that the edge effect of these electrodes has no disturbing influence on the image, i..e., does not result in distortion of the image.
  • the path of the beam of light Upon emerging from the cathode at the point a the same is relatively 'flecting pairs of plates 1' and 8.
  • Fig. 6 the cathode is in similar manner designated 2, the deflecting electrode 5, the anode t, the after-concentration cylinder 5, and the de- In place of the Wehnelt cylinder there is provided the plate 23, which preferably possesses the same potential as the cathode ray at the corresponding point. It is naturally also possible to employ a 'Wehne1t cylinder and a concentratin. plate of this nature at the' same time.
  • those elements are spaced widely apart which are capable of exerting on each other a disturbing eifect. These are more particularly the ones which possess a relatively varying potential difference and, as experiments have shown, chiefly the afterconcentration cylinder 6 and the adjacent pair of deflecting plates 1.
  • the spacing of these two elements was shown in the tests conducted by the applicant to have an influence of such extent on the quality of the image that with a spacing of approximately 9 millimetres under otherwise similar conditions image points amounting in number to approximately 4,000, of 10 millimetres to approximately 6,000, and of 15 millimetres to approximately 10,000 were obtainable.
