  • Horizontal and vertical dynamic correction in CRT monitors
    Patent number: 7777432
    Abstract: A device and method for generation of a dynamic focus correction signal for use with a CRT that includes an analog scanning processor for generating a dynamic focus correction signal that is proportional to Kx2+(1?K)x4, where x is the distance from a mid point of a viewing surface of the CRT, and K is a real number in the range 0.00 to 1.00. Embodiments of the invention find particular use in CRTs having generally flatter, squarer configurations.

  • Circuit, method and system for generating a non-linear transfer characteristic
    Patent number: 7161411
    Abstract: A circuit, method and system for generating a non-linear transfer characteristic, including a plurality of current mirror circuits in parallel, each current mirror circuit having an offset current applied to an output terminal of an output-side transistor of the current mirror circuit for controlling an output current thereof, wherein the offset current of each current mirror circuit is set to a respective predetermined level, and the transfer characteristic is generated by summing the respective output currents of the current mirror circuits in a piece-wise manner.
