Publication number: 20040004426Abstract: The present invention therefore relates to a colour picture tube and a deflection system for a colour picture tube comprising a rectangular fluorescent screen and an in-line electron beam generator system. An in-line electron beam generator system generates a plurality of electron beams which essentially extend in a common plane and which are directed onto the fluorescent screen. For correcting an east-west inward pincushion distortion, convergence magnets are arranged in a first plane on the colour picture tube and in the deflection system of a colour picture tube, respectively, and geometry magnets are arranged in a second plane which is different from said first plane. The planes of the convergence magnets and of the geometry magnets are each oriented perpendicular to the direction of the electron beams.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2003Publication date: January 8, 2004Applicant: Matsushita Display Devices (Germany) GmbHInventor: Andreas Ehrhardt

Publication number: 20030209968Abstract: The invention therefore refers to a color picture tube and to a deflection system for a color picture tube having a rectangular luminescent screen and an inline electron beam generation system. An inline electron beam generation system generates a plurality of electron beams substantially extending in a common plane, said electron beams being directed towards the luminescent screen. Correction magnets are arranged on the color picture tube and in the deflection system of a color picture tube, respectively, to correct a vertical green bending in the corners of the luminescent screen. The correction magnets are arranged substantially in a plane perpendicularly to the direction of the electron beams. Within this plane, the correction magnets are arranged at an angle to the common plane in which the electron beams extend which is between 20° and 70°.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2003Publication date: November 13, 2003Applicant: Matsushita Display Devices (Germany) GmbHInventor: Andreas Ehrhardt

Patent number: 6621203Abstract: The present invention relates to a deflection unit for mounting on an in-line type cathode ray tube comprising a coil body including grooves for receiving wound coil wires, the grooves extending substantially in a straight line. The groove extension of at least one groove is changed at at least one location such that the coil wires received in the groove become curved in the area of the changed groove extension. In a preferred embodiment the grooves are separated from each other by groove walls which in the area of the changed groove extension comprise a thickening and optionally a bulge. The coil wires wound onto the coil body form the horizontal coil or the vertical coil. The arrangement serves the selective fine adjustment of the deflection fields for eliminating convergence, coma and/or geometry errors.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2001Date of Patent: September 16, 2003Assignee: Matsushita Display Devices (Germany) GmbHInventors: Friedrich-Karl Nelle, Andreas Ehrhardt

Patent number: 6580208Abstract: The present invention refers to a deflection unit for mounting on a color cathode ray tube, an associated tube and a corresponding display apparatus. The deflection unit comprises a pair of coils for vertical deflection and a pair of coils for horizontal deflection. At least one of the pair of coils is subdivided into at least two parts, of which one part is intended for the correction of convergence errors and the other part for the correction of geometry errors. The respective corrections can be carried out independently of the respectively other correction. According to a preferred embodiment the parts are spatially separated and mechanically independent, with the part intended for geometry error correction being positioned closer to the screen of the picture tube. Preferred is the use of an in-line type arrangement of the saddle-saddle or saddle-toroidal type.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2001Date of Patent: June 17, 2003Assignee: Matsushita Display Devices (Germany) GmbHInventor: Friedrich-Karl Nelle

Patent number: 6580207Abstract: The present invention relates to a deflection unit for mounting on a color cathode ray tube. The deflection unit comprises a coil body for a vertical deflection coil and a first and second means for displacing the coil body into a first and second direction. The first and second directions are offset by 90° and are positioned in parallel with the screen plane of the color cathode ray tube. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the first and second means respectively comprise displacement bow members which can be displaced by means of a screw. The screws are preferably identical. To secure the Z-position, the coil body is preferably slid into a cap and rotated in the stop position.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2001Date of Patent: June 17, 2003Assignee: Matsushita Display Devices (Germany) GmbHInventor: Heinz Lehner

Patent number: 6489713Abstract: In the case of shadow masks which are pretensioned vertically and horizontally and the horizontal pretension of which is produced by stretching in the vertical direction, an expensive mask material having a low coefficient of thermal expansion can only be replaced by a less expensive mask material, such as iron, if the tension forces which can be produced for pretensioning the mask in the horizontal direction are markedly higher than the hitherto produced forces. For this purpose, the outer boundaries of the shadow-mask sides which are not connected to the mask frame are implemented such that they have a curved shape and a higher strength. In this way, it is possible to produce in a direction perpendicular to the stretching direction tension forces which are higher than the hitherto produced forces.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2000Date of Patent: December 3, 2002Assignee: Matsushita Display Devices (Germany), GmbHInventor: Johann Mitrowitsch

Patent number: 6483558Abstract: Color television apparatus and color monitors are provided with a device, in particular with an electron lens system, to vary the mutual spacing of the electron beams generated in an electron beam generating system. By reducing the mutual spacing between the generated electron beams, in accordance with the deflection of the electron beams, the spacing of the shadow mask to the viewing screen can be increased at an increasing distance to the center of the screen, and thereby a less expensive shadow mask design can be used without having to take the former disadvantages of a flat screen into account.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 1999Date of Patent: November 19, 2002Assignee: Matsushita Display Devices (Germany) GmbHInventor: Johann Mitrowitsch

Publication number: 20020000769Abstract: A multipole unit normally consists of a support tube, a threaded ring, a plurality of magnetic rings, a plurality of spacer rings and a spring ring. According to the present invention, the structural design of a multipole unit is simplified in that the threaded ring is modified in such a way that the spring ring becomes superfluous. In order to achieve this the threaded ring or a stop arranged on the support tube is provided with spring elements which fulfil the function of the conventional spring ring.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2001Publication date: January 3, 2002Applicant: Matsushita Display Devices (Germany) GmbHInventor: Heinz Lehner
