Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improved color picture tubes having inline electron guns, and particularly to a tube having an inline electron gun that includes a split focus electrode.
  • the resolution of a picture is dependent upon having small electron beam spot sizes at the tube viewing screen.
  • an electron gun generates three electron beams, which must be simultaneously focused to small spots on the screen.
  • coils on the neck of a tube to provide scan velocity modulation (SVM).
  • SVM coil is a two-pole device aligned to produce vertical magnetic fields, which induce horizontal deflection of the electron beams. Such coils improve the image quality of a tube by modulating the horizontal deflection velocity of the electron beams.
  • the SVM coil is driven as a function of the video signal. As video rate increases, such as from the NTSC rate to VGA and SVGA rates, the SVM coil should be operated at correspondingly higher frequencies.
  • the present invention relates to a color picture tube having a viewing screen and an electron gun within a neck of the tube for generating and directing three inline electron beams, a center beam and two side beams, toward the screen.
  • the electron gun includes a plurality of electrodes including a focus electrode.
  • the tube neck is adapted for receipt of surrounding scan velocity modulation coils at a location thereon.
  • the focus electrode includes two spaced parts that are electrically connected and adapted for connection to the same focus voltage. The space between the parts is surrounded by the neck location for the coils. This space provides an eddy current-free region, thus increasing the resultant magnetic field seen by the electron beams.
  • FIGURE 1 is a plan view, partly in axial section, of a color picture tube embodying the invention.
  • FIGURE 2 is a side view, partly in axial section, of the electron gun of FIGURE 1, positioned in the tube neck with SVM coils located on the neck.
  • FIGURE 3 is a schematic view of the electron gun of FIGURE 2, showing the electrical connections of the electrodes of the electron gun.
  • FIGURE 4 is a front view of the side of a G5B electrode part that opposes a G5T electrode part in the electron gun of FIGURE 2.
  • FIGURE 5 is a front view of the side of the G5B electrode part that opposes the G5T electrode part in an alternative electron gun.
  • FIGURE 1 shows a rectangular color picture tube 10 having a glass envelope 11 comprising a rectangular faceplate panel 12 and a tubular neck 14 connected by a rectangular funnel 15.
  • the funnel 15 has an internal conductive coating (not shown) that extends from an anode button 16 to the neck 14.
  • the panel 12 comprises a viewing faceplate 18 and a peripheral flange or sidewall 20, which is sealed to the funnel 15 by a glass frit 17.
  • a three-color phosphor screen 22 is carried by the inner surface of the faceplate 18.
  • the screen 22 is preferably a line screen with the phosphor lines arranged in triads, each triad including a phosphor line of each of the three colors.
  • the screen can be a dot screen.
  • a multi-apertured color selection electrode or shadow mask 24 is removably mounted, by conventional means, in predetermined spaced relation to the screen 22.
  • An electron gun 26, shown schematically by dashed lines in FIGURE 1, is centrally mounted within the neck 14 to generate and direct three electron beams along convergent paths through the mask 24 to the screen 22.
  • the tube of FIGURE 1 is designed to be used with an external magnetic deflection yoke (not shown) that is attached to the tube in the neighborhood of the funnel-to-neck junction.
  • the yoke When activated, the yoke subjects the three beams to magnetic fields which cause the beams to scan horizontally and vertically in a rectangular raster over the screen 22.
  • the details of the electron gun 26 are shown in FIGURES 2, 3 and 4.
  • the gun 26 comprises three spaced inline cathodes 34 (only one of which is shown), a control grid electrode 36 (Gl), a screen grid electrode 38 (G2), an accelerating electrode 40 (G3), a plate-shaped electrode 42 (G4), a focus electrode (G5) divided into two parts, 44 (G5B) and 46 (G5T), and a final electrode 48 (G6), spaced in the order named.
  • Each of the Gl through G6 electrodes has apertures therein to permit passage of three electron beams.
  • the electrostatic main focusing lens in the gun 26 is formed by the facing portions of the G5T electrode part 46 and the G6 electrode 48.
  • the G5B electrode 44 and the G5T electrode are each formed by two pieces, 44B and 44T, and 46B and 46T, respectively.
  • All of the electrodes of the electron gun 26 are either directly or indirectly connected to two insulative support rods 50 and 52.
  • the support rods are of glass which has been heated and pressed onto claws extending from the electrodes, to embed the claws in the rods.
  • SVM coils 54 and 56 Shown on the neck 14 in FIGURE 2 are two scan modulation (SVM) coils 54 and 56. Each coil is somewhat rectangular and is contoured to conform to the cylindrical shape of the neck. Each coil also includes a large central window which are located opposite to each other on the top and the bottom of the neck.
  • SVM coils have been used on tubes having electron guns with fixed focus voltages, the present inventors have found that the effect of the SVM coils on these tubes can be increased by incorporating an additional space 45 within the electron gun to allow the SVM field to act on the electron beams in an unobstructed manner.
  • the space 45 permits the rapidly changing flux created by the SVM coils to reach the electron beams without suffering the losses caused by the generation of eddy currents in the electrodes.
  • This additional space 45 is formed by longitudinally separating the G5 focus electrode into two parts, the G5B electrode part 44 and the G5T electrode part 46.
  • the coils should surround the space between the parts 44 and 46, but preferably, the space should be located closer to the longitudinal center of the coils than near their ends, as shown in FIGURE 2.
  • Electrical connections of the electrodes of the electron gun 26 are shown in FIGURE 3.
  • the Gl electrode is connected to ground.
  • the G2 and G4 are connected to each other and to the G2 voltage VG2, the G3, G5B and G5T are all connected to each other and to a fixed focus voltage VFOCUS.
  • FIGURE 5 shows an alternative embodiment of the parts 44T and 46B, designated with primes of the same items, respectively. This alternative embodiment shows how the shapes and sizes of all of the apertures in electrode parts 44 and 46 can be altered to obtain a particular level of performance. In the portion of the alternative embodiment shown in FIGURE 5, a larger elongated aperture 47' is included in the part 44T' and three larger apertures, 60' 62' and 64' are included in the part 44B'.
  • One set of electrode spacings for the electron gun 26 is given in the following table.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un tube image en couleur (10) possédant un écran de visualisation (22) et, à l'intérieur d'un col (14) du tube, un canon à électrons (26) qui sert à émettre trois faisceaux d'électrons en ligne, à savoir un faisceau central et deux faisceaux latéraux, et à les diriger vers l'écran. Le canon à électrons comprend plusieurs électrodes dont, entre autres, une électrode de concentration (G5). Le col du tube possède un emplacement destiné à accueillir une bobine (54, 56) de modulation de la vitesse de balayage, qui entoure ledit col. L'électrode de concentration est constituée de deux parties espacées (44, 46), connectées électriquement et conçues pour la connexion à la même tension de concentration (VFOCUS). L'emplacement de la bobine sur le col entoure l'espace (45) entre ces deux parties.
