Abstract: A wiggler that, when used in a free electron laser, reduces the harmonicity of the light emitted from the free electron laser. In general, the reduced harmonicity is accomplished by making the magnetic field distribution of the wiggler to be sinusoidal, rather than like a square wave. The sinusoidal magnetic field distribution reduces the number of harmonics that can be used to approximate the magnetic field distribution of the wiggler, and thus reduces the harmonicity of the light produced by passing an electron beam through the wiggler. In a particular embodiment, the wiggler is composed of pieces or segments of permanent magnets that are arranged along an axis such that their magnetic orientations are perpendicular to the axis, and such that the magnetic field distribution along the axis is sinusoidal.

Abstract: A method of correcting color purity is provided for reducing differences in picture quality between film images and television receiver images by the video signals, thus enabling reproduction of picture quality that approximates images that are shown in a movie theater. When outputting signal levels of each of the color components of video signals, color mixing is performed in which the output signal level is the sum of products of all of the color component levels that have been received as input multiplied by coefficients. By setting these coefficients within the range −0.3 to 0.3, the influence from other colors can be limited to prevent excessive change from the colors of the original image.

Abstract: A frame synchronizer disposed in a multiple-gun type cathode ray tube relatively delays outputting an image signal for one of split screens with respect to an image signal for the other split region. Thereby, a relative difference in scanning time of electron beams which scans the split screens is generated so that the sum of beam currents applied to a phosphor in the same pixel position per unit time does not exceed a limit of intensity saturation of the phosphor. Therefore, in a scanning mode that field (frame) scanning is carried out on the split screens on the right and the left sides in a direction opposite to each other, a intensity drop resulting from intensity saturation of the phosphor can be avoided, and a proper image can be displayed.

Abstract: In a CRT display device including a CRT (MM tube) having brightness higher than that in the background-art CRT, it is an object of the present invention to improve contrast and prevent conspicuous recognition of noises. A video signal modulation circuit (10) modulates a video signal (9) (first video signal) into a second video signal having a signal level in an area of low gradation level lower than a signal level of the first video signal. A cathode bias voltage source (7) generates a driving voltage on the basis of the second video signal. It is therefore possible to keep the driving voltage in the area of low gradation level low and reduce brightness in the area of low gradation level of a CRT (1). As a result, noises of an image in the area of low gradation level are not conspicuously recognized and a contrast value is increased, resulting in improvement in image quality.

A signal outputting electrode is mounted in an area which is not covered with an internal conductive film in a state where the periphery of the electrode is apart from an inner wall of a funnel via an intermediate member.
