Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of and means for generating synchronization impulses for television transmissions with Braun tubes at the transmission end, whether according to the ikonoscope principle or according to any other image transmission principle in which a cathode ray scans an image surface at the transmission end.
  • the cathode ray at the edge of the image or at both edges of the image in the direction towards which the scanning movements proceed, is conducted not directly on to ,an auxiliary electrode, but through a diaphragm having a preferably very narrow slot-like aperture which is disposedy parallel to the particular edge of the image. Behind this aperture thereris arranged an auxiliary electrode, which ris connected to a suitable electric circuit.
  • FIG. 1 to 6 show arrangements according to the invention in section
  • Fig. 7 illustrates an arrangement according to the invention in plan.
  • Fig. 1 shows a possible form ⁇ of embodiment'of the arrangement according to the invention, i1- lustrated diagrammatically as regards its position and connection in relation to the system of a Braun tube.
  • Fig. 2 shows a particular form of embodiment of the diaphragm provided in accordance with the invention.
  • Figs. 3a and 3b show further possible relative positions of the diaphragm, the auxiliary electrode and the image screen.
  • Fig. 4 shows an arrangement in which the diaphragm is arranged on the base of the image screen
  • f Fig. 5 an arrangement in which the auxiliary electrode is arranged on the base of the image .5. screen.
  • Fig. 6 shows an arrangement, in which screen-v ing means are provided in the arrangement according to the invention for the purpose of avoiding detrimental interference.
  • Fig. 7 shows in plan an arrangement accord ing to the invention, in which they diaphragm for the image and line synchronization are combined to form an angular diaphragm and the auxiliary electrodes for both synchronizations are u combined to form an angular auxiliary electrode.
  • l is'an anode of the cathode ray tube
  • 2 and 3 are the deiiecting systems.
  • 4 is the image screen, which may be constructed, for example, as photo-electric screen 20 or as luminous screen; its particular embodiment is not important as regards the invention.
  • 5, 5 is the diaphragm provided according to the invention, having the aperture 6. 1 is the auxiliary electrode.
  • I9 45 is the base for the image screen which, particularly in the case illustrated in Fig. 4, may be the wall of the cathode ray tube.
  • 20 is a slot which is furnished if desired in the base for the. image screen.
  • 2l and 22 are screening means for pre- 50 venting a detrimental interference.
  • edge of the image screen 4 itself vas the one edge of the diaphragmaperture 6, i. e., to omit the portion of the diaphragm 5 (see Fig-.12).
  • the width IB of the diaphragm aperture 6 is preferably selected to be very small for the purpose of obtaining sharp impulses, for example smaller than or equal to the width of the cathode ray in the plane of the diaphragm, the ray when impinging on the second edge of the diaphragm aperture may cause in certain circumstances interferences in the edge of the image.
  • the width 9 of the ad part of the diaphragm 5 situated nearer the image screen this for the sake of denite conditions should be greater than or equal to the thickness of the ray, but nevertheless should not be too great, in order that the scanning operations will occur in sufficiently quick succession.
  • the width II of the edge of the diaphragm which is directed away from the image screen and is not necessarily entirely passed over by the ray may be of desired amount within the limits given by the total construction.
  • a lower limit in respect of I I is again provided by the necessity for avoidin;r spreading effects. It is also to avoid spreading effects that the width 43 of the auxiliary electrode 'I is made to be small and the spacing I2 in the direction of the ray between the intercepting electrode 'I and the diaphragm 5, 5' not too small.
  • the diaphragm 5, 5 is preferably arranged as far as possible away from the deflecting system 2, 3, as together with the distance there also increases the speed with which the ray passes over the aperture (i.
  • the diaphragm 5, 5' may be in the same plane as the image screen (Figs. 1 and li), and in certain circumstances image screen i and diaphragm 5, 5 may be arranged with advantage on the same base I9 (Fig. 4), this being furnished to the side of the image screen with a narrow slot 20, at the sides of which there are provided on the base (for example in the form of metallic deposits) metal strips 5, 5' of a width in accordance with the above.
  • the diaphragm 5, 5' may also be disposed in a desired plane which is sufficiently remote from the deflecting system and is substantially vertical to the direction of the ray (Figs. 3a and 3b).
  • the diaphragm must be arranged nearer to the deiecting system than the image screen. It is also possible, particularly in the last-mentioned case, to arrange the auxiliary electrode I in the plane of the image screen, if desired on the same base (see Fig. 5), in the form of a metallic strip (for example deposit).
  • Fig. 6 there may be provided for the purpose of avoiding detrimental spreading effects screening means 2
  • the screening means may be combined with the diaphragm itself to form a substantially closed casing surrounding the electrode 1.
  • diaphragms are provided for the line and image scanning, they may be combined in accordance with an additional feature of the invention, as shown in Fig. 7, to form an angular diaphragm element 0 and an angular synchronizing electrode.
  • the possible arrangements according to the invention as described in conjunction with the remaining figures are capable of being applied to the arrangements in Fig. 7. and Ib may be selected of diiferent size with the object of controlling at will the impulse duration for the line and image synchronization respectively. With equal width of the slots the duration of the impulses for the image synchronization is greater than that for the line synchronization in a proportion which is given by the ratio of the scanning speeds in the two directions.
  • the ratio of the impulse amplitudes for image and line synchronization re spectively it may be desirable to insulate the parts 1a and 1b against each other and to connect the same with differently selected working resistance I 6.
  • the image screen is arranged on the wall of the tube, its base in the majority of arrangements is approximately in the form of a spherical cup.
  • the resistance I6 instead of being connected with the potential of the anode I, may be connected with any other desired suitably selected bias.
