  • screen 12 on which an imageis produced which may be viewed by an observer.
  • a cathode14 In the opposite end of the tube from the screen 12 there is provided a cathode14 and a plurality of accelerating and focusing electrodes 16, 18,
  • the fluorescent material 10 comprises the gun for color project that beam down the axis of the tube toward the screen 12.
  • the ratio section 22 comprises three plates 23, 24, 25 arranged substantially in the form of a triangle or delta, as is shown in Fig. 2.
  • the three plates 23, 24, 25 of the ratio section 22 are arranged so that the center of their cross sectional triangle lies on the axis of the tube.
  • the three plates 23, 24, 25 of the ratio section 22 are electrically insulated from each other and are provided with connections 27 for applying variable high frequency potentials to those plates independently of each other.
  • the beam splitting section comprises a center section 28 which comprises essentially three plates which extend parallel to the axis of the tube and the cross section of which, when taken across the tube, is in the form of a Y.
  • the three plates comprising the center section 28 of the beam splitting section are connected together electrically at the axis of the tube. Connections 29 are provided for applying a small clirectrcurrent potential to the beam splitting section.

Three of the sir plates of the positioning section 30 are arranged in a triangle 32 in themanner ofthe ratio section. The other three plates or thepositioning section are arranged cross sectionally in the form of a Y 34 similar tothe arrangement of the beam splitting section.
  • the three Y plates 34 in the positioning section 30 which are arranged in cross section in the form of a Y are located inside the three delta plates 32 which are arranged in cross section in the form of a delta or triangle.
  • the Y section 28 of the ratiosection could be a physical extension of the 'Y section 34- of the positioning section and the two Y sections 28, 34- would be at the same potential.
  • Connections 36 are supplied for providing variable directcurrent potentials to the three delta plates of the positioning section so as to vary the potentials on the three delta plates independently.

  • the beam When the beam emerges from the ratio section 22, its axis is slightly displaced from the axis of the tube.
  • the electrons of the beam which are divided among the three regions separated by the plates 28, are deflected outward away from the axis of the tube. Since the axis of the beam has been deflected from the axis of the tube before the electrons reach the beam splitting section, more of the electrons will be in one of the regions separated by the plates 28 than will be in a region between other of the plates.
  • the relative distribution depends, of course, upon the potentials which have been applied in the ratio section 22.
  • the electron beams formed by the beam splitting section pass into the positioning section 30.
