Abstract: A first lens unit and a third lens unit are constituted by a lens which is rotationally symmetrical with respect to an optical axis and are disposed on the same optical axis, a first freeform-curved surface lens and a second freeform-curved surface lens have the same shape and are disposed to be rotated at 180 degrees with respect to the optical axis, the first freeform-curved surface lens and the second freeform-curved surface lens are movable in a Y-axis direction when the optical axes of the first lens unit and the third lens unit are set to be a Z-axis, an axis perpendicular to the Z-axis on an image surface is set to be a Y-axis, and an axis perpendicular to the Y-axis and the Z-axis on the image surface is set to be an X-axis, a refractive power of the second lens unit is variable due to the first freeform-curved surface lens and the second freeform-curved surface lens moving in opposite directions, and the first freeform-curved surface lens and the second freeform-curved surface lens are moved in the Y

Abstract: There is provided a recording and/or reproducing apparatus which may include a cassette insertion slot formed at a front panel, an opening/closing lid for opening/closing the cassette insertion slot, a cassette compartment, and cassette double insertion blocking means. The cassette compartment may include a cassette loading holder for loading and unloading a cassette inserted through the cassette insertion slot while pushing the opening/closing lid open inward by moving between a cassette loading position and a cassette ejecting position along a substantially L-shaped path extending horizontally and vertically.

Abstract: In an adjusting method for a cathode position of an electron gun, an apex point of a dome-shaped cathode is detected and then a positional adjustment is executed by moving a first grid in a X-Y direction so that a center of a grid aperture is coincided with the position of the apex point, at first. Next, a sleeve ring and a collar portion of a sleeve holder are welded together by a laser beam. The a dgk-vale adjustment is done so as for a gap between first grid and apex point of the cathode to be a predetermined value and welded by irradiating the laser beam to a superposed position of the cathode structure and the sleeve. According to the present invention, these positioning adjustment and the dgk-value adjustment are able to be executed independently.
