ELECTRONIC DEVICE Filed April 1, 1938 DEFLFCT/ON INVENTOR ERNST B/gC/{E BY MM -ATTORNEY Patented Apr. 8, 1941 Ernst Bruche, Berlin-Eteinickendorf, Germany,
assignor to General Electric Company, a orporation of New York Application April 1, 1938, Serial No. 199,330 In Germany April 12, 1937 Claims.
This invention relates to electronic devices and more particularl to cathode ray tubes and electrode structures for such tubes, together with an improved method and means to deflect a concentrated cathode ray.
In using cathode ray tubes for television, for example, or oscillographic work, it has been usual to supply means for deflecting the beam in one or two directions linearly with respect to time, either in only one direction, that is, from left to right, or from top to bottom, for example, or linearly deflecting the beam left to right, right to left, top to bottom, and bottom to top. For this purpose it has been necessary to develop what is known as a saw-tooth voltage wave, i. e. to develop a voltage whose amplitude increased linearly with time and then decreased linearly with time, or to increase linearly with time and abruptly return to zero at the end of a predetermined time depending upon the frequency. Such voltages having been developed, are applied to electrostatic deflecting electrodes positioned parallel to the axis of the cathode ray tube, and between which electrodesthe cathode ray passed. Alternatively, if magnetic deflection is desired, a saw-tooth wave of current was developed. Such a current wave would increase linearly with time and abruptly decrease to zero at the end of a predetermined time interval, or else increase linearly with time and then decrease linearly with time at the end of a predetermined time interval. Such a current wave was then applied to magnetic deflecting coils positioned perpendicular to the axis of the tube for deflecting the cathode ray. Great dif'rlculties are attendant in the production of such sawtooth waves. These difliculties arise from the fact that the frequencies present in such a sawtooth wave, as deduced from resolving the wave into its sinusoidal components of a Fourier Series, become exceedingly great where strict linearity of the wave as a function of time is desired. Thus, for example, in a modern television system where the horizontal sweep circuit has a fundamental frequency on the order of 10,000 cycles harmonic components as high as the hundredth harmonic is necessary, which results in a frequency on the order of a million cycles. It will be readily appreciated that not only must the component of this frequency be present with proper amplitude, but the phase difference between this harmonic and the fundamental frequency must also be kept invariant as the wave is fed from the generator through the deflecting circuit. The problem is one, therefore, attendant with great difliculties and has involved the necessity of many correcting circuits in order to produce such a wave. The additional circuits necessary, add to the over-all complexity of the television transmitter and receiver and give rise to large costs both for the initial installation and for maintenance.
The use of sinusoidal waves for deflection circuits solve the problem arising from complexity of circuits, but as proposed in the prior art, introduced distortion in the reproduced picture, inasmuch as the sinusoidal wave deflections had a tendency to make the center of the picture system, so that over-all linearity of deflection results, thereby overcoming the distortion of the type described above, and at the same time obtaining the benefits arising from the simplicity of supplying a sinusoidal wave, the benefits being simplicity of apparatus, greater ease in maintenance of synchronization, and reduced cost of initial installation and maintenance.
Turning now to the drawing, my invention will be described in detail. In the drawing,
Figs. 1 through 3 show graphical representations of a portion of the patterns resulting from asymmetrical linear deflections, symmetrical linear deflections, and sinusoidal deflections respectively;
Fig. 4 shows in schematic form the broad concept of my invention;
Fig. 5 is a graphical representation of the resultant deflection with respect to time of the combination of the sinusoidal wave and the defiection system according to my invention;
Fig. 6 shows one embodiment of my invention wherein an auxiliary deflecting field is supplied;
Figs. 7 and 8 show modifications of the embodiment of my invention shown in Fig. 6 where electrostatic deflecting systems are used, while Figs. 9 and 10 show modifications of my defleeting system for use in electromagnetic deflecting systems.
In accordance with my invention, an auxiliary deflection of the cathode ray beam is supplied or superimposed upon the deflection arising from the application of sinusoidal voltage or current, depending upon whether or not electrostatic or electromagnetic deflection is contemplated. In order to provide an over-all linear deflection upon the fluorescent screen, I have discovered that this auxiliary and additional deflection of the beam should be proportional to the third power of the radial distance measured from the axis of the beam at which the electron beam enters the deflecting system. That is to say that as the beam is deflected from its axial position, the auxiliary field comes into action to deflect it in accordance with the third power of the distance that the beam is deflected from the axis. Under such conditions an initial sinusoidal deflection of the beam results in a linear deflection of the beam on the screen after passing through this auxiliary field.
Accordingly, it is one of the purposes of my invention to provide a new and improved method and means for deflecting a cathode ray beam.
Another object of my invention is to provide a simplified cathode ray beam deflection system and method utilizing sinusoidal waves, and pro ducing non-distortionless deflection therefrom.
A further object of my invention is to provide a new, novel, and improved electrode system for electrostatic deflection of a cathode ray beam.
A still further object of my invention is to provide a new and improved electromagnetic deflection system for deflecting the cathode ray beam.
Other and further objects of my invention will become clear upon a consideration of the detailed description of my invention as follows:
Turning now to the drawing, it will be seen in Fig. 1 that when an asymmetrical saw-tooth wave is supplied to the deflection system of conventional cathode ray tubes, the pattern of the scanning path increases linearly from left to right at a relatively slow rate and decreases from right to left at a relatively high rate. The resultant pattern shown in Fig. 1 is obtained from simultaneously deflecting the beam in mutually perpendicular directions at two different rates of speed so that the horizontal deflections are relatively great relative to the vertical deflection. In Fig. 2 a symmetrical sawtooth wave supplied to the same type of deflecting system produces a scanning pattern in which the travel from left to right and right to left is identical, while at Fig. 3 the use of two sinusoidal waves deflecting the beam in mutually perpendicular direction is shown. It will be noticed in this case that since the rate of deflection along the right and left hand edge has decreased, that there will result much greater intensity of light along the edges, since the cathode ray beam impinging upon a luminescent screen acts for a longer time at the ends of the path travel than it does through the center of the pattern. However, the combination of the sinusoidal wave with my new and improved method and means of deflection results in converting the pattern on the luminescent screen shown in Fig. 3 to that shown in Fig. 2, which pattern results in linear reproduction across the entire surface of the screen. In Fig. 4 I have shown schematically a cathode ray tube H equipped with an electron gun l3 for producing a beam of electrons which are focused upon the luminescent screen 2| on the end wall of the tube H. Intermediate the electron gun and the luminescent screen there is provided two parallel electrostatic deflecting electrode systems l5 and I7 through which the beam of electrons passes. Connected to the electrode deflecting systems are the oscillators 2'1 and 29 respectively, which may be of any conventional type to produce sinusoidal wave shapes and which may be synchronized in methods Well known in the prior art, by feeding controlling impulses to the oscillators at the terminals 3| and 33 respectively. Intermediate the luminescent screen 2! and the last deflection system N, there is provided an electron lens of a dispersive or negative type, which lens is symmetrical with respect to the axis of the cathode ray tube. The lens is so chosen as to provide an electrostatic field which varies in accordance with the third power of the radial distance from the axis. Under such conditions the electron beam in its undeflected position 00- incides with the axis of the tube shown as 2i. Under the influence of voltage from the oscillator 29 the beam, in the absence of the electron lens l9, would be deflected, for example, to follow the path 23. However, the presence of the lens l9 aiding the auxiliary deflection thereto, actually causes the beam to take th position 25. Since the superimposed deflection provided by the auxiliary electron optical system 19 varies as the cube of the radial distance, the difference in deflection between 23 and 25 will be greater, the further away from the axis that the beam is deflected. Accordingly, where sinusoidal waves are employed, as the voltagebalances up to its peak value, the beam is deflected by the auxiliarysystem at a much greater rate, although it is deflected by the main deflecting systems l5 and i! at a much slower rate than when the beam is close to th axis of the tube. Since the two deflections are additive, the auxiliary beam tends to compensate for the decrease in deflection of the main deflecting system with the over-all result of providing a linear deflection across the entire face of the luminescent screen 2|. This effect is shown in Fig. 5 where curve 35 shows the deflection as a function of time for one of the main deflecting systems, such as H, for example, while line 37 shows the deflection resulting from the auxiliary system [9, while 39 shows the deflection resulting from the combination of the auxiliary and main deflections. It will be noticed in this case that the graph 39 results in a symmetrical saw-tooth.
In Fig. 6 I have shown one embodiment of my invention in which the auxiliary deflection field is provided by positioning beyond the deflecting plates I! an apertured diaphragm M and a ring-electrode 43. The diaphragm 4| is connected to the ring electrode 43 through a battery 45. By suitably dimensioning the aperture, in the electrode 4!, and the diameter in the ring electrode 43, a divergent electrostatic field is provided which has its radial component varying substantially as a third power of the radial distance from the axis about which both the electrodes 4i and 43 are symmetrically placed.v By suitably varying the potential 45 supplied between these electrodes, the auxiliary deflection field can be made to be complementary to that of the deflecting fields of the electrode systems l5 and H. It will be noticed that this system provides an auxiliary deflecting system which is symmetrical about the axis'so thatregardless of the direction of deflection, whether vertical or horizontal, the proper correction is added to provide linear deflections.
Alternatively, the arrangement shown in Fig; '7 may be used in this embodiment. The deflecting plates themselves are so shaped as to provide the necessary auxiliary field. The electrode systems all and 49 are so shaped that the beam on first entering the space between the plates, undergoes its major deflection. Thereafter the field progressively varies due to the divergence of the plates, and thereafter becomes substantially constant but of smaller magnitude. Accordingly, the combination of the sinusoidal voltage and the non-linear deflection of the beam between the electrostatic deflecting plates, cause the beam to execute a linear traversal of the luminescent screen 2|.
A still further modification is shown in Fig. 8 in which there is actually provided for each of the horizontal and vertical deflection circuits two sets of deflecting electrodes, one with greater spacing than the other and positioned in register with but removed therefrom, and supplied from the same potential source with different potentials. Due to the edge effects between the two pairs of electrostatic deflecting plates 5| and 53 respectively,
a radial component is provided such as to produce a complementary deflection to that produced by the supplied sinusoidal wave to provide linear deflection across the luminescent screen 2|. To provide the difierence in potentials and proper magnitudes from a single source, the potentiometer El is provided and the plates, deflecting electrodes 5|, and variable taps 63 and 65 are also provided, while the taps 61 and 59 are provided for the plates 53. By providing individual taps for each of the plates, potential difference between the upper plates is determined by the position of the taps 6'1 and 63, while the potential difference between the lower plates of the electrode systems 5| and 53 are provided by the position of the taps 65 and 69. By suitably varying the taps, the proper amount of auxiliary deflection can be superimposed upon the main deflecting plates 5| to provide linear deflection across the screen 2!. It will be understood, of course, that a similar pair of deflecting electrodes, and resistor with variable taps may be provided to replace the deflecting system for producing the mutually perpendicular deflection to take the place, for example, of the electrodes I5 shown in Fig. 6.
Where it is desired to use electromagnetic deflection, suitable electromagnets for deflecting the beam may be provided, in which the pole pieces are suitably shaped to provide the complementary characteristic necessary to produce the linear deflection across the screen. One such form I have shown in Fig. 9 in which the tube I! provided with a screen 2| has positioned external thereof, although the electromagnets may be provided within the tube, with pole faces positioned to provide a first portion of substantially constant intensity, and a second portion of varying intensity. An oscillator 1| supplies sinusoidal current to the windings l3 and 15, which are wound on a suitable magnetic core H, the pole faces 19 and BI being shaped substantially as shown.
Alternatively, I may use windings of the form shown in Fig. 10. In Fig. 10 the coil 83 is wound so as to provide in the region between the left hand edge and the line 8585 to provide a high maintenance constant electromagnetic field. In the region between lines 85-85 and 8181, the field is weaker and varies in intensity as the distance increases from 85-435 towards 81-81, and
finally becomes constant again in the region of 81-431 and 98--89. It will be understood, of course, that the axis of the coil is positioned perpendicular to the axis of the cathode ray tube, so that Fig. 10 shows a plan view of the coil winding. Such a coil produces substantially the same effect on the deflection of the cathode ray beam as that produced by the structures 13, 15, I1, 19, shown in Fig. 9.
