Definitions

  • This invention relates to color television in general and to color television picture tubes in particular.
  • the most practical color television picture tube presently manufactured is the so-called shadow mask tube.
  • the shadow mask tube is a modified cathode ray tube having a multi-colored luminescent screen, a perforated shadow mask and three electron guns.
  • Auxiliary components, not ordinarily considered to be part of the tube itself, are usually mounted on the outside of the tube to control and deflect the electron beams emanating from the electron guns.
  • the screen is composed of three different luminescent materials or phosphors, each producing one of the additive primary colors.
  • the first phosphor produces the color red when excited by electrons; the second, blue; and the third, green.
  • Each of the phosphors is separately deposited on discrete portions of the viewing end of the tube bulb to form a symmetrical mosaic. Although the shape of each phosphor element in the mosaic may be varied, it is preferred that each element be circular.
  • the individual elements or dots in the mosaic are arranged in closely spaced triads, each dot in each triad producing one of the primary colors upon excitation.
  • the shadow mask is usually a thin metallic sheet disposed between the luminescent screen and the electron guns. Apertures are formed in the shadow mask in such a manner that the elements or dots on the screen which produce red may be energized only by electrons which arrive at the screen from a first direction, those which produce green may be energized only by electrons arriving from a second'direction and those which produce blue by electrons arriving from a third direction. In a practical tube, there is one aperture in the shadow mask for each triad of dots on the viewing screen.
  • the electron guns may be of well-known design, but it is preferred that they be mechanically modified for mounting adjacent each other.
  • the electron beams from the guns will then be substantially parallel to each other and equally spaced around the longitudinal axis of the tube.
  • External means are usually provided to cause the electron beams to converge simultaneously on the same aperture in the shadow mask.
  • each electron beam approaches the shadow mask from a different direction.
  • the proper proportioning of the electron guns and the relative size and position of each aperture in the shadow mask with respect to each of the phosphor dots so restricts each electron beam that it energizes only one type of phosphor dot.
  • each electron beam in a finished tube is not a straight line.
  • the magnetic field of the earth exerts a force on each electron beam of such magnitude and direction that each beam follows a curved path.
  • the path is essentially circular, bending to the right as observed from the electron guns looking toward the screen.
  • the approximate circularity of the path is caused by the vertical component of the earths magnetic field.
  • One of the leaders in the field places magnets on the outside of the tube adjacent the periphery of the viewing screen to form a so-called color equalizer.
  • the electron beams are allowed to bend under the influence of the earths field until they come into the field of the peripheral magnets.
  • the peripheral magnets are so arranged and polarized that the path of each electron beam may be sharply bent near the viewing screen to direct each beam to its corresponding phosphor clot.
  • An absolutely uniform field having a predetermined magnitude and direction must be maintained across an area approximately the size of the viewing screen by adjusting the strength and position of a number of independent magnets.
  • the other manufacturer presently uses a so-called purity coil to obtain color registry.
  • the purity coil is an electromagnet mounted on the neck of the picture tube, so that its field is concentrated along a short distance near the electron guns.
  • the coil is energized with direct current to produce a magnetic field.
  • the intensity and direction of the magnetic field may be adjusted by changing the current and the polarity of the coil current or by rotating the coil around the neck of the tube.
  • the intensity and direction of the magnetic field affect the direction of the electron beams. Although each electron beam is allowed to bend under the influence of the earths field along the greater part of its length, color registration may still be obtained by the proper adjustment of the purity coil field.
  • a purity coil has some advantages over peripheral magnets, but several different objectionable effects arise. Perhaps the most objectionable effect of a purity coil is that known as neck shadow. Neck shadow causes a serious problem, namely, the loss of a portion of the visible raster. This loss results from interception of the electron beams by the inner wall of the tube at the junction of the neck and the conical part of the tube whenever a certain critical deflection angle is exceeded. Unfortunately, use of a purity coil makes it more likely that the critical deflection angle be exceeded. In fact, in an unshielded, all glass, wide angle tube, neck shadow is almost invariably observed when the purity coil is adjusted to obtain optimum color registration and this phenomenon may even be found in metal cone tubes.
  • the purity coil is in proximity to and interacts with the deflection, convergence and centering electromagnets usually used with color television picture tubes.
  • the resultant magnetic field is very complex; the design and adjustment of each electromagnet being greatly affected by that of each other electromagnet. Such complexity makes adjustment diflicult for even trained personnel; it is evident that widespread commercial acceptance of color television requires that adjustments be simplified so that untrained persons may perform them.
  • a still further object of this invention is to improve convergence of the electron beams in a color television picture tube.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a process for fabricating a color television picture tube needing no compensation for magnetic effects.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view, partly cut-away, of a color television picture tube embodying the principles of this invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a diagram of an electron beam path in a color television picture tube showing in particular how the viewing screen may be offset to compensate for curvature of the electron beams in a color television picture tube.
  • FIG. 3 is a diagram of a color television picture tube showing how this invention minimizes neck shadow and improves scanning.
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view, partly cut-away, of an apparatus by which the principles of this invention may be used to fabricate a tri-color viewing screen.
  • the present invention consists in a color television picture tube, and a method of producing such a tube, wherein no compensation for the effects of the earths magnetic field is required after the tube is fabricated.
  • the centers of the phosphor dots do not bear a straight-line relationship to the electron gun with which they are associated. Rather, a line traced from a given gun to any of the phosphor dots which it is designed to energize follows a curved path. The curvature of each line is such that the electron beams from each gun pass through each aperture in the mask at the same angle as the light beam which originally formed the dot, if the photographic process was used.
  • the point source of light is offset from the straight-line relationship.
  • the amount of offset is dependent upon the physical size of the tube, the velocity of the electron beams therein, and on the strength of the earths magnetic field.
  • FIG. 1 an embodiment of the present invention in a practical tube may be seen. It should be noted that several simplifications, not material to the invention have been made.
  • the electron beam forming, focusing and accelerating elements have not been shown. Standard means to shape and direct the electron beams are well-known in the art and may be applied without change in a tube embodying the concepts of the present invention.
  • Well-known current waveshapes may be applied to the deflection yoke shown in FIG. 1 to obtain horizontal and vertical deflection of the beams. Only one gun and one beam are depicted to prevent undue complication of the figure.
  • the tube shown in FIG. 1 operates in the following manner. An electron gun 11 is positioned in the neck 12 of the tube 13.
  • the electron beam 14 is directed along the length of the neck 12.
  • a magnetic deflection yoke 15 may be mounted on the outside of the neck 12 as shown although the type of deflection means used is not material to the invention.
  • the electron beam 14 is shown for convenience, deflected toward the observer in a horizontal plane. After deflection by the deflection yoke 15, which may be considered, without significant error, to take place at point A, the electron beam 14 passes along the length of the tube 13 through an aperture 16 formed in the shadow mask 17 and impinges on a phosphor dot 18. Both apertures and phosphor dots have been greatly exaggerated in size to show more clearly the working of this invention.
  • the electron circuit is completed through a conducting surface (not shown) on the phosphor dot 18 back to the electron gun 11.
  • the electron beam 14 follows a substantially circular path from the point A through the aperture 16 to the phosphor dot 18.
  • the electron beam 4 also follows an approximately circular trajectory between its point of origin at the electron gun 11 and the point A, the path having the same radius of curvature as the path from the point A to the phosphor dot 18.
  • the earths magnetic field which imparts the curvature to beam 14 is represented by the arrows 19.
  • the inclination of the arrows 19 to the horizontal represents the dip angle of the earths magnetic field at a latitude of approximately 40 and the direction of the arrows represents the direction of the earths magnetic field 19 in the northern hemisphere.
  • the cross-sectional area of the tube 13 is so small that the field 19 may be assumed to be uniform throughout the tube. A well-known principle of electron motion in a uniform magnetic field may now be applied to determine the trajectory of the electron beam 14.
  • the principle is that if the original velocity of an electron is not normal to the direction of a magnetic field, the velocity component of an electron parallel to the field is not affected either in direction or magnitude while the velocity component normal to the field continually changes direction, remaining constant in magnitude. Strict application of this principle leads one to the conclusion that the trajectory of the electron beam 14 in the tube 13 would be helical. However, consideration of the size of tube 13 and the relative size of the normal and parallel components of the initial electron velocity in the beam 14 shows that a helical path will not result in this practical case. The normal component of the velocity, remaining constant in magnitude, but continually changing direction, causes the beam to describe an approximately circular path. The same considerations indicate that the beam 14, when deflected upwardly or downwardly in tube 13, will follow an essentially circular path which, for any given angle of deflection, occurs entirely in a plane.
  • the curvature of the electron beam 14 which is aimed at the cent-er of screen 20 may be determined empirically by measuring the distance of the point of inpingement of beam 14 from the center of the viewing screen 20 when no deflection waveform is applied to the deflection yoke 15. It is not necessary to actually determine the geometric center of the viewing screen 24) to measure the desired distance. If the point of impingement of the electron beam 14 be noted and the tube be rotated 180, a second point of impingement of the beam 14 on the viewing screen 20 will be observed. One half the distance between the two points of impingement corresponds to the offset of the electron beam 14 due to its curvature.
  • the deflection center of the electron beam, marked A, the center of given aperture 16 on the shadow mask 17 and the center on the corresponding phosphor dot 18 lie on a curved line.
  • This line represents the trajectory of the electron beam 14,.
  • Curvature of the electron beam 14 is emphasized by the straight dotted line passing from the center of the phosphor dot 18. through the aperture 16 in the shadow mask and intersecting the deflection plane of the deflection yoke 15 at the point B.
  • Point B represents the position of the dot-forming light source which would be used to form the dot 18 and the other similar color generating dots on the viewing screen 20 in the photographic process. described above.
  • the determination of the distance between point A and point B will be explained in detail in connection with FIG. 2;
  • the utilization of point B in the fabrication of a practical viewing screen will be explained in connection with FIG. 4.
  • the line GAX represents an ideal electron beam emanating from an electron gun at the point G, passing through the point A in the deflection plane of the tube and impinging on a viewing screen at the point X;
  • the arc GY represents the path of an actual electron beam emanating from an electron gun at the point G, passing through a uniform transverse field and impinging on the viewing screen at the point Y;
  • the line GY represents a chord drawn from the point G to Y;
  • the line BY represents a tangent to the trajectory of an actual electron beam at the point Y intersecting the deflection plane of the tube at the point B;
  • the lines GO and Y0 the lines GO and Y0.
  • the line PO represents a construction line drawn from the intersection of the line GAX and the line BY to the intersection of the lines GO and Y0; and the line AB represents the required offset.
  • angle OGY isosceles
  • angle OGY equals the complement of one-half the angle
  • Equation 12 may be simplified still further in a practical case. Since the angle qb is very small, the cosine of the angle 5 is very nearly equal to unity and Equation 12 reduces to the form:
  • FIG. 3 shows how the neck shadow is overcome in a color television picture tube embodying the present invention.
  • the electron beam 14a represents the trajectory of an electron beam which has been properly changed by apurity coil to obtain color registration on the viewing screen.
  • the electron beam 14 represents the trajectory of a properly registered electron beam in a, tube constructed according to this invention. It is evident that the electron beam 14a is more likely to be intercepted by the inner wall of the tube in the area D than the electron beam 14. In fact, the point C is ordinarily so close to the area D that the beam 14a is deflected more than the critical angle so that it is partially blocked from reaching the viewing screen 20. The electron beam 14 cannot, be partially blocked since the critical angle is obviously greater than the maximum deflection angle of beam 14.
  • the raster in a tube embodying this invention is more centrally located. It is evident that the angle which beam 14 makes with the centerline of the tube is greater than the angle the beam 14a makes. This means that for a given angle of deflection the electron beam 14 impinges on the screen at a point closer to the axis than the electron beam 14a. Thus, the raster is shifted farther in the case of electron beams passing through the point C in the manner of beam 14a. It is obvious that a greater correction is required to center such a raster.
  • the electron beam 14 rotates at a constant angular speed about the point A to trace out each horizontal line in the raster in the preferred embodiment of the invention and that the electron beam 14a traces out each horizontal line in the raster of a presently known tube by rotating at a constant angular speed about the point C, it may be seen that the point of impingement of each electron beam on the viewing screen moves at a varying speed as the horizontal line is generated. However, the variations in speed of the point of impingement of the electron beam 14 are less than the variations of the speed of the point of impingement of the beam 14a.
  • the apparatus shown in FIG. 4 may be conveniently used to form the dots in a manner similar to that disclosed in the cited Perry and Rowe application. Care must be taken when offsetting the point source of light that it be moved in the correct direction. A simple rule to follow is that the light source should always be moved directly opposite to the direction in which the electron beam bends in the finished tube. If a tube is being compensated for use in the northern hemisphere, the position of the light source will always be to the left of the beam deflection center A, looking toward the shadow mask 17 as shown in FIG. 1. The light must be placed in the plane of the deflection center of the electron beam in order that the length of the electron beam will be substantially constant as the raster is formed.
  • the lighthouse contains a small source of light 22 fixed on a support 29 and means for supporting the shadow mask 17 in a unique position at a predetermined distance from the light source 22.
  • the supporting means may conveniently be pins 23 projecting from a fiat top 24 on the lighthouse 21.
  • the viewing screen may be positioned with respect to the shadow mask 17 in exactly the same manner as in the completed tube, using springs 25 and positioners 26.
  • the type of light source 22 is not material so long as the spot size is small as compared with the distance from the light 22 to the shadow mask 17.
  • a carbon arc may be arranged to operate essentially as a point source to give sharp edges on the dots 18.

  • the shadow mask 17 is placed in position.
  • the shadow mask 17 and the viewing screen 20 may be uniquely positioned with respect to one another to form the same unitary structure they will form in the finished tube and then uniquely positioned on the lighthouse.
  • the dots 18 are formed on the viewing screen 20 by the light from the source 22 shining through the apertures 16 in the shadow mask 17. After exposure, the dots 18 may be developed and the process repeated to form a second and third array of dots such as dot 18 to produce three primary colors in the finished tube.
  • the position of the light source 22 with respect to the shadow mask 17 is changed each time an array of dots 18 is formed. Either the light source 22 or the shadow mask 17 and viewing screen 20 may be moved to accomplish this end.
  • the preferred embodiment shows a set of auxiliary holes 27 into which the pins 23 may be moved, thereby changing the relative positions of the light source 22 and the shadow mask 17 and the viewing screen 20. It should be noted that a third set of auxiliary holes, such as the holes 27, would be required to determine a third position of the shadow mask 17 and the viewing screen 20 with respect to the light 22. Many mechanical variations will immediately suggest themselves as methods of positioning of the light source 22 with respect to the shadow mask 17.
