Abstract: A test signal is supplied to a test switch provided between a D/A converter for selecting and outputting a gray scale voltage of the driving circuit and an amplifier for amplifying and supplying an output voltage at the D/A converter to set a test mode, and an output voltage of the D/A converter is directly measured by a measuring device through the test switch to measure an ON resistance of a gray scale voltage selection circuit of the D/A converter.

Abstract: An operational amplifier according to an exemplary aspect of the invention includes: a differential stage including a first differential transistor and a second differential transistor that serve as paired transistors; polarity switching units; and an offset adding unit that is connected to one or both of the paired transistors to change a size balance between the first differential transistor and the second differential transistor. The offset adding unit includes a first additional transistor that is connected in parallel with one or both of the paired transistors and receives the same input as one or both of the paired transistors connected, and a second additional transistor connected in series with the first additional transistor, turning on/off of the second additional transistor being controlled by a test signal. The operational amplifier according to an exemplary aspect of the invention enables determination of an offset cancel operation with higher accuracy.

Abstract: A fixture includes a fitting portion fitting a long member, a mounting portion mounting a stationary portion which is shaped into a rectangular in cross section. The mounting portion includes a base portion and a first clamping portion and a second clamping portion. The first clamping portion and the second clamping portion extends in a first direction substantially perpendicular to an extending direction of the base portion from both ends of the base portion. The first and second clamping portion clamps the stationary portion therebetween. The clamping portions respectively has slip-out preventive portions. A projected portion is provided on an inner face of the first clamping portion. The second clamping portion is flexibly formed.

Abstract: A color CRT is provided, which makes it possible to use a larger-sized shadow mask without increasing the size of a face panel. This CRT is comprised of a vacuum envelope having a face panel, a funnel connected to the panel, and a neck connected to the funnel. The envelope has a central longitudinal axis approximatley pernendicular to the panel. The panel has studpins fixed to the inside of its side walls. A shadow mask assembly is provided in the envelope, which includes a shadow mask and a frame for supporting the mask. The frame has an approximately rectangular front section, an approximately rectangular middle section, and an approximately rectangular rear section. The front section and the rear section extend in approximately parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the envelope. The front section is shifted outwardly with respect to the rear section to approach the side walls of the panel. The periphery of the mask is fixed to the front section.

Abstract: A shadow mask type color cathode ray tube prevents rotation of light emitted through slots in a shadow mask that would form a zigzagged stripe during an exposure of a fluorescent film. The slots are rotated at an angle .theta..sub.1 about a center of the slots in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation, whereby light passing through the slots is offset, so that a vertical striped fluorescent surface can be thus obtained.
