Definitions

  • cathode-ray tube incorporating this principle, which may be termed "post-deflection-focusing, and also called PDF, is designed with a relatively large number of narrow component-color phosphor strips laid down in a predetermined sequence to form a screen, or
  • phosphor strips luminesce, when impacted by the cathode-ray beam, in various component colors of the image to be synthesized.
  • the order in which the phosphor strips are laid down may be red, green, blue, green, red, green, etc., bearing in mind that the color of a phosphor as used herein refers to the color of the light emitted therefrom which reaches the eye of an observer.
  • An electricallyconductive coating overlies the phosphor strips, and is produced in some preferred manner, such as by aluminization.
  • a grid assembly is located adjacent to the phosphor screen, and, with the latter, comprises a color control structure of the type to which the present invention is particularly applicable.
  • a grid is formed of a large number of wires, or linear conductors, extending in the same general direction as the phosphor strips, and lying in the path of electrons directed to the target electrode from the electron gun of the cathode-ray tube.
  • the wires of the grid assembly are electron-optically related to the phosphor strips so that, in this electron-optical sense, there is a wire aligned with each blue strip, and similarly a wire aligned with each red strip.
  • this electron-optical alignment incorporates whatever spacing corrections are necessary to compensate for variations introduced into the tube operation by changes in the instantaneous angle of impingement of the cathode-ray beam as it scans the target, and also by changes in deflection sensitivity at portions of the target electrode as symmetrically located with respect to the tube axis.
  • these corrections form no part of the present invention, and are mentioned merely as an aid in understanding the operation of a tube of'the nature set forth. All of the wires together electrically.
  • the grid wires are electron-optically aligned with the phosphor strips, a zero potential difierence between the red and blue terminals of the gridwill result in the beam electronsundergoing a focusing action alone, and hence these electrons may be caused to impinge the target within the boundaries of a particular strip such as green. If the conductors associated with the red strips are then made positive relative to the conductors electron-optically related to the blue strips, the beam electrons will be subjected to an auxiliary, or micro-, deflection over and above that due to the deflection providing the raster, so that the lines of impingement of such electrons will now lie within the respective boundaries of the red strips. Similarly, electrons will strike the blue strips when the wires associated with such strips are suitably positive with respect to the red wires.
  • the grid wires are chosen to be essentially coplanar, and are maintained in position relative to the phosphor strips of the target by means of spacer elements.
  • the spacing between the plane of the grid wires and the phosphorcoated surface of the target is critical in many respects, and must remain substantially unchanged during operation of the cathode-ray tube.
  • One preferred construction in which the grid wires and the target electrode are formed as a unit is illustrated and described in United States Patent #2,683,833 of the present applicant granted July 13, 1954.
  • a lighttransmissive base plate (which may be of glass). is em? ployed as a target backing.
  • This base plate is-securedto a grid frame by the strand conductors, or wires, of the grid.
  • a pair of spacer elements is fixed to one surface of the base plate, and defines a window, or target area,
  • tubes constructed as described above exhibit a white glow at the extreme edges of the reproduced image. It has been determined that this glow is caused, at least in part, by electrons in the scanning beam impinging upon the target beyond the boundaries of the phosphor coating. This condition may arise due to a variation in the horizontal deflecting voltage (which increases the length of each trace) or by manual variations in the size control adjustments which result in the height and/or the width of the raster to be increased to a point where it extends beyond the area of the base plate which is coated with phosphor.
  • the white glow above referred to is believed to be due to an electrostatic charge built up on the bare glass base plate due to bombardment thereof by the scanning beam electron.
  • the structure of the present invention acts (1) as a mask between the gun and the target electrode of the tube so as to intercept electrons which would otherwise impinge such target beyond the boundaries of the phosphor coating, (2) as an electrostatic shield to prevent appreciable leakage into the beam path of the electric field from the aluminum, and (3) to collect (when a suitable potential is applied thereto) the secondary electrons emitted from the color grid during operation of the tube.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide an electron shield, for use with a color structure of the nature set forth, which acts in effect as an overseam interceptor to enhance the fidelity of the developed polychrome image.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide an electron shield, for use with a color structure of the nature set forth, which serves to confine the electric field associated with the conducting coating on the phosphor target to a region of the cathode-ray tube where such electric field has no undesired effect upon the electrons in the scanning beam.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide a shield of the above nature which further serves to collect when a suitable potential is applied thereto, at least a portion of the secondary electrons emitted from the color grid structure during tube operation.
  • An additional object of the present invention is to provide a shield of the above nature which is simple in 4 construction and capable of being fabricated at low cost.

  • the beam shield 56 is secured in spaced-apart relation to the frame 30 in the manner best shown by Figure 5, that is, by four tabs on lugs 62 respectively located near the corners of the shield and insulated from the frame in a manner to be described in connection with Figure 6.
  • the opening in the beam shield 46 (or, in other words, the window area) is of such dimensions that the electron beam 14 is caused to impinge up on'the outer surface of the shield when it is deflected by; the coils 24 and 26 to a degree such that, in the absence of. the shield, it would strike the base plate 22 beyond the edges of the phosphor coating-48.

  • the beam shield 56 is preferably composed of a single sheet of metal having its two edges parallel to the grid wires 38 of flanged configuration and its remaining two edges in part bent downwardly as best shown in Figure 5, so that the shield at this point is maintained substantially equi-distant from the grid wires 38 after such wires contact the spacer bars 40 prior to passing around the edge of the base plate 22 as best shown in Figure 3.
  • the beam shield 56 is positioned relative to the frame 30 by means of four tabs 62 respectively located near the four corners of the mask and secured thereto by some suitable method such as welding.

  • a slotted metal washer 67 may also be associated with each screw head.
  • each of the screws 60 is held in place by a nut 68 which may be of locking design. It will now be seen that the structure of Figure 6 results in the screw 60 being isolated electrically from the frame 30 by the ceramic bushing 64 and the mica washers 66, and hence contact between the screws 60 and the beam shield tab 62 will not result in any electrical contact between the shield 56 and the frame 30.
  • the reason for preventing such electrical contact between the beam shield 56 and the frame 30 is that, in many cases, it is desired to apply a potential to the beam shield 56 which is different from the potential applied to the frame 30. This permits the shield 56 to serve as a collector of secondary electrons emitted when the electron scanning beam 14 strikes the grid wires 38 during operation of the cathode-ray tube. If the beam shield 56 is suitably positive with respect to the mean potential of the grid wires 38, then these secondary electrons, instead of falling back upon the phosphor-coated base plate 22, will instead be attracted to the beam shield 56, and hence the latter will serve to prevent any contamination of the resulting image which would otherwise be produced by these spurious electrons.
  • the former also acts as an electrostatic shield in the manner shown by Figures 7, 8 and 9 to prevent any electric field from the aluminum coating on the phosphor target (and also any field surrounding the contact point where a lead to this aluminized surface is brought from exterior to the cathode-ray tube) from leaking around the edge of the wire grid and thus having a deleterious effect upon the trajectory of electrons directed toward the phosphorcoated base plate 22 from the electron gun.
  • the beam shield 56 of the present invention eliminates the necessity for winding these extra turns of wire.
  • Other shielding means previously thought necessary may also be dispensed with, and hence the overall cost of the grid assembly is considerably lowered.
  • the particular securing means shown in Figure 6 for positioning the beam shield 56 relative to the frame 20 has been shown merely as an example, and that other fastening means are obviously applicable.
  • the particular configuration of the beam shield 56 may be modified according to the configuration of the wire grid assembly with which it is to be employed, and also according to the particular design of the color structure as a whole.- It is only necessary that the under surface of the mask 56 be positioned relatively close to the grid wires 38 so as to perform the shielding effect brought out above.
