Definitions
- the screen includes phosphors which emit different colors of light when impinged upon by electrons of different energies.
- the screen comprises a capacitive electrical load and is driven through a transformer.
- the transformer provides an inductive reactance which is selectively resonated with the capacitive load.
- Respective current pulses are applied to the primary winding of the transformer through three silicon controlled rectifiers.
- the controlled rectifiers are turned off at the end of the respective current pulses by resonant interaction between the inductive reactance by the transformer and the capacitive load. The pulses of current change the charge on the screen thereby providing three different electron accelerating voltages.
- This invention relates to apparatus for generating a three-level stepped voltage waveform and more particularly to such apparatus for applying three different electron accelerating voltages to the phosphor screen of a color display system.
- the phosphor screen in such color display systems comprises a capacitive electrical load, a relatively heavy power drain will be required of the voltage generating apparatus if the charges stored on the screen in obtaining the different accelerating voltages are dissipated during each cycle.
- three different colors are employed in the display and thus three different accelerating voltages must be applied in sequence to the phosphor screen.
- the provision of apparatus for generating a threelevel stepped voltage waveform across a capacitive load such as the phosphor screen of a color kinescope; the provision of such apparatus which can change voltage levels at a relatively rapid rate, e.g., at a line-sequential rate; the provision of such a system which does not dissipate relatively large amounts of power; the provision of such a system in which the three voltage levels are relatively equally spaced; the provision of such a system in which the voltage level remains substantially constani at each level of the stepped waveform; the provision of such apparatus which is highly reliable; and the provision of such apparatus which is relatively Simple and inexpensive.
- Other objects and features will be in part apparent and in part pointed out hereinafter.
- apparatus is operative to generate a three-level stepped voltage waveform across a capacitive load.
- the apparatus includes an inductive reactor, such as a transformer, having an output circuit for connection to the capacitive load and an input circuit.
- a first controlled rectifier means is provided for selectively producing a pulse of current through the input circuit in one direction thereby changing the charge on the capacitive load to obtain a first voltage on the load with respect to its initial voltage.
- a second controlled rectifier means is provided for selectively shorting the input circuit to produce a pulse of current in the opposite direction thereby changing the charge on the load to obtain a second voltage which is of opposite polarity to the first voltage with respect to the initial voltage.
- Third controlled rectifier means are provided for selectively producing a second pulse of current in the one direction, the sum of the two pulses in the one direction being substantially equal in magnitude to the one pulse in the opposite direction thereby to return the load substantially to its initial voltage.
- the first, second and third controlled rectifier means are sequentially energized at timed intervals, each of the rectifiers being reverse biased and turned off by resonance of the inductive reactor with the capacitive load after the respective current pulse is completed, whereby a three-level stepped voltage waveform is generated across the load.

- FIGURE 2 is a circuit diagram of an equivalent circuit of the apparatus of FIGURE 1;
- FIGURE 3 is a circuit diagram of a simplified equivalent circuit of the apparatus of FIGURE 1;
- FIGURE 4 illustrates graphically the fiow of current to and voltage changes on the screen of FIGURE 1 in relation to current flow paths indicated on a repeated showing of the simplified equivalent circuit of FIGURE 3.
- Kinescope 11 includes a conventional glass envelope 13 having a screen portion 15, a neck portion 17 and a bell-shaped intermediate portion 18 connecting the neck and screen portions. Coated on the inner surface of the screen portion 15 is a phosphor screen or layer 19 which includes phosphors which emit light of different colors when struck by electrons of different energies.
- Phosphor screen 19 may, for example, be constituted by a mixture of three different kinds of phosphor particles a first of which emits red light when energized by electrons having energies above a first, relatively low predetermined level; a second of which emits cyan light when energized by electrons having energies above a second or intermediate level; and a third of which emits blue light when energized by electrons having energies above a third, relatively high predetermined level.
- the three kinds of phosphors are cumulatively energized so that the screen emits red light when struck by electrons at the relatively low level; warm, substantially achromatic light when struck by electrons at the intermediate energy level; and cool, substantially achromatic light when struck by electrons at the relatively high energy level.
- Such unsaturated color image displays are described in greater detail in application 450,705, filed April 26, 1965, now abandoned. 'Images presented by such displays appear to have a relatively wide range of hues subjectively having a greater saturation than that which is actually present in the colorimetric sense. Methods of preparing phosphors useful in making such a screen are disclosed in application Ser. No. 459,582, filed May 28, 1965, now U.S. Patent No. 3,408,223.
- a film 21 of aluminum which is conductive and yet is also thin enough to be substantially electron permeable.
- suitable electron accelerating voltages may be applied to the phosphor screen 19.
- Aluminum film 21 also extends beyond the face portion '15 of kinescope 11 onto a preselected margin of the intermediate portion 18 of envelope 13 thereby constituting a first conductive band 23 on the inner surface of the intermediate portion.
- a conventional electron gun 27 for emitting a beam of electrons directed toward phosphor screen 19.
- this color display system is operated in a line-sequential mode.
- a three color, linesequential video signal is applied to gun 27 for varying the electron beam current, that is, the number of electrons which are emitted by the gun.
- the video signal thus controls the instantaneous brightness of the light produced by the beam on phosphor screen 19.
- other modes of presentation such as field-sequential, may also be employed by appropriately varying the different voltage switching rates described hereinafter and applying a correspondingly switched video signal to gun 27.
- Electrons emitted from gun 27 pass through the magnetic influence of a deflection yoke 29.
- Yoke 29 is energized in conventional manner to deflect the beam of electrons over the screen 19 in a scanning raster comprising a series of generally parallel horizontal lines.
- the raster will be of uniform size only if the electrons emitted by gun 27 are all accelerated to the same energy or if compensation is made for the different deflection effects experienced by electrons having different energies.
- a conductive band as indicated at 33 thereby to constitute a generally annular, horn-shaped electrode which is concentric with gun 27 and through which the beam of electrons emitted by the gun pass on their way to phosphor screen 19.
- Band 33 may conveniently be constituted by a so-called dag coating on envelope 13. As is explained in greater detail hereinafter, electrode band 33 is employed to exercise a radial corrective effect on the deflection of the electron beam passing therethrough.
- Electrodes are made to the electrode band 33 and to the phosphor screen-covering aluminum film 21 as indicated at 35 and 37 and these connections extend through envelope 13 by means of conventional feedthrough terminals.
- Screen 19 and electrode band 33 are provided with out-of-phase three-level stepped voltages of several kilovolts amplitude by the circuit indicated generally at 41.
- electrode band 33 and the screen band 23 are connected to respective secondary windings W1 and W2 of a transformer TR1.
- the opposite ends of the transformer secondary windings are provided with respective D.C. biasing potentials by a D.C. bias source 42.
- Appropriate nominal D.C. potentials for electrode band 33 and screen 19 are approximately 12 and 16 kilovolts, respectively.
- Transformer TRl also includes a primary winding W3, one end of which is connected to a positive D.C. supply 4 lead L1 through a D.C. blocking capacitor C1 and the other end of which is connected to a negative D.C. supply lead L2 through the anode-cathode circuit of an SCR (silicon controlled rectifier) Q1. Triggering signals for energizing SCR Q1 are coupled to its gate terminal from a. terminal 43 through a coupling capacitor C2.
- SCR silicon controlled rectifier
- the junction between primary winding W3 and SCR Q1 is also connected to the positive supply lead L1 through the anode-cathode circuit of a third SCR Q3 connected in series with a rheostat R1.
- the junction between SCR Q3 and resistor R1 is indicated at 48 and the voltage at this point is filtered by a pair of capacitors C4 and C5 extending from junction 48 to supply leads L1 and L2 respectively.
- Capacitors C4 and C5 remove substantially all A.C. components from the voltage at junction 48 and current flowing through SCR Q3 in the forward direction charges this point to a D.C. potential which is positive with respect to the voltage provided by the positive supply lead L1.
- the voltage at junction 48 is thus of polarity opposite to that of lead L2 with respect to lead L1.
- junction 48 thus provides or constitutes a second D.C. voltage source or reference level.
- the particular D.C. level to which this junction is charged may be adjusted by varying the setting of rheostat R1 thereby to vary the voltage drop produced by the mean current flowing through SCR Q3.
- Other means of providing a second voltage source may also be employed.
- the circuit 41 When SCRs Q1, Q2 and Q3 are triggering sequentially, the circuit 41 operates, as described in greater detail hereinafter, to apply respective three-level stepped voltage waveforms to the electrode band 33 and to the screen 19.
- the transformer secondary windings W1 and W2 are connected so that the waveforms applied to screen 19 and band 33 are out-of-phase with respect to each other.
- Electrons emitted by gun 27 during the different time intervals corresponding to the three different voltage levels of the waveform applied to screen 19 are accelerated to different energy levels before reaching phosphor screen 19.
- the respective energy levels are chosen in relation to the threshold or level-sensitive characteristics of the phosphors which make up screen 19 so that the lower energy electrons excite only the red phosphor; the intermediate energy electrons excite both the red and cyan phosphors thereby causing warm, substantially achromatic light to be emitted; and the high energy electrons cause all of the phosphors, including the blue, to be energized thereby causing cool, substantially achromatic light to be emitted.
- the stepped voltage Waveforms are synchronized by triggering the SCRs Q1, Q2 and Q3 in timed relation to the sequence in which video signals representing different colors are applied to gun 27, so that the different accelerating voltages are produced during periods which correspond to the sequencing of the color video signal applied to gun 27.
- the beam current is thus modulated to reproduce the various image components in their respective colors. In the example illustrated this is assumed to be a line-sequential rate.
- the screen 19 When a red line is being displayed, the screen 19 is driven to the lowest of its three voltage levels. The total acceleration experienced by electrons emitted by gun 27 during this line period is thus relatively small and only the red phosphor is energized. While the screen is at its low voltage level, the electrode band 33 in driven to the highest of its three voltage levels and thus electrons emitted from gun 27 are rapidly accelerated as they first leave the gun. These electrons are thus not greatly deflected in the region of the yoke and therefore follow a path substantially as indicated at B in FIGURE 1.
- both the screen 19 and the electrode band are maintained at their respective intermediate voltages and the electrons emitted by gun 27 follow a generally intermediate path as indicated at C and again strike the screen at the same point P.
- switching circuit 41 Since the operation of switching circuit 41 depends upon the non-ideal behavior of transformer TRl, that is, the transformer acts as an inductive reactor as well as a transformer, the operation of this circuit may conveniently be described using equivalent circuits. A fairly complete equivalent circuit is illustrated in FIGURE 2 and the significance of each of the elements thereof is indicated in Table 1.
- V1 Voltage provided between leads L1 and L2.
- V2 D.C. voltage generated at junction 48 with respect to lead L1.
- RQl On resistance of Q1.
- RQ2 On resistnce of Q2.
- RQ3 On resistance of Q3.
- CC Capacitance of capacitor C1.
- CP Primary distributed shunt capacitance
- RP 'D.C. resistance of primary LLP Primary leakage inductance.
- LP Incremental primary inductance
- LS Incremental secondary inductance
- RS D.C. resistance of secondary
- LLS Secondary leakage inductance.
- CM Transformer interwinding capacitance
- VL Load voltage
- the equivalent circuit of FIGURE 2 may be further reduced by com bining the effects of certain of the elements, by eliminating others whose values cause their effect to be insignificant, and by referring the value of all components to the primary winding so that the transforming or turns ratio eflfect of transformer TRl may be omitted.
- Such a simplified unity-turns ratio equivalent circuit is shown in FIGURE 3.
- the significance of the previously unidentified components is as indicated in Table 2.
- CLT Total loading capacitance including the external capacitive load and distributed winding capacitance, all referred to the primary winding.
- FIGURE 4 includes graphs representing the voltage (VL) on and the instantaneous current (IL) through the loading capacitance CLT as a function of time, together with a repeated drawing of the simplified equivalent circuit in which the path of instantaneous current flow during each significant period of the circuits cycle of operation is shown by a heavy line.
- the triggering of SCR Q1 causes the source potential V1 to apply an impulse of current to the series circuit comprising the inductive leakage reactance LLPS and the loading capacitance CLT.
- the sudden application of this voltage at the start of the period designated T1 causes a sinusoidally oscillatory current to start to flow in the resonant circuit comprising the inductive leakage reactance LLPS and the loading capacitance CLT.
- the leakage inductance is relatively small, the natural period of this oscillatory current is quite short.
- the voltage across capacitance CLT thus quickly reaches a peak value which approaches twice the source voltage V1.
- the rectifying characteristic of the SCR Q1 constituting switch S1 causes the switch to essentially become an open circuit so that current can no longer flow from the charged loading capacitance CLT through the voltage source.
- the triggering of SCR Q1 thus produces only a single pulse of current which flows in one direction only during the first interval T1.
- the charged capacitance CLT can discharge only relatively slowly through the primary reactance LP which essentially shunts the loading capacitance. Since this shunting reactance comprises a relatively high value of impedance, the loading capacitance CLT can discharge only relatively slowly and the voltage across the load thus remains relatively constant during this relatively long interval.
- SCR Q2 is triggered. Triggering SCR Q2 has the effect of closing the switch S2 in the equivalent circuit of FIG- URE 3 thereby providing a low impedance discharge path to the loading capacitance CLT which path bypasses the voltage source. In effect the input circuit is shorted and a pulse of current flows in the direction opposite to the pulse in the one direction described previously.
- the loading capacitance thus discharges during interval T3 according to a sinusoidal voltage characteristic which is centered on the potential at lead L1.
- the potentials at the beginning and end of the period T3 are thus of substantially equal orders of magnitude but of opposite polarity with respect to the initial voltage.
- voltage source V2 is constituted by the network of capacitors C4 and C5 and rheostat R1 as explained previously and provides a voltage source which is of polarity opposite to that of source V1 with respect to lead L1.
- the loading capacitance CLT thus discharges according to a soidal function centered around the voltage V2.
- Rheostat R1 is adjusted so that voltage V2 is substantially equal to one-half the residual voltage remaining on the loading capacitance CLT at the end of period T4.
- the sinusoidal discharge of capacitance CLT during period T5 returns to load voltage substantially to its initial level, the two pulses of current in the one direction being substantially equal in magnitude to the one pulse in the opposite direction. After a period equal to one-line sweep has passed, the entire cycle is repeated.
- a three-level stepped waveform is repeatedly generated across the loading capacitance CLT. As is understood by those skilled in the art, this voltage is substantially the same as that which appears across the primary Winding of the transformer T1. Accordingly, similar three-level stepped voltage waveforms, amplified by the respective turns ratios of windings W1 and W2 with respect to winding W3, are applied to the electrode band 33 and screen 19. These stepped waveforms are superimposed upon the respective bias voltages and, as noted previously, are applied outof-phase with respect to each other to provide the color display mode of operation described previously. Since the switching from level to level of the stepped Waveform is obtained by means of a resonant interchange of energy between inductive and capacitive components, it can be seen that energy consumption and power requirements are minimized.
