Patent number: 6124686Abstract: A horizontal deflection circuit is provided in which a large retrace pulse voltage applied to a horizontal deflection yoke can be taken to reduce the deflection current and which is capable of easily performing horizontal image size adjustment and distortion adjustment. A parallel connection of a switching element, a damper diode, and a resonance capacitor is connected in series to a parallel connection of another switching element, another damper diode, and another resonance capacitor, and power is supplied from the connection point via a fly-back transformer. The comparison value of the retrace pulse voltages applied across both ends of the switching elements is fed back through a switching element control circuit to the switching element so that the deflection current of the horizontal deflection yoke is controlled.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 1998Date of Patent: September 26, 2000Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Ken Kikuchi, Junzo Watanabe, Ban Kawamura, Hidetaka Honji

Patent number: 5349274Abstract: In a dual direction horizontal bi-directional scan circuit, deterioration of the picture quality is prevented, while linearity is improved without supplying wasteful deflecting current, and pin distortion is corrected. The deflecting current in the going scan and in the returning scan are supplied to each deflecting coil by first and second resonance circuits, and capacitors substantially the same in capacitance are provided in the first and second resonance circuits to bias the deflecting voltage so that the terminal voltage and the power source voltage of the capacitors are synchronized to the vertical synchronizing signals to produce a parabolic modulation.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 1993Date of Patent: September 20, 1994Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Junzo Watanabe, Akihiro Ueyama, Ban Kawamura

Patent number: 5341072Abstract: At a horizontal deflecting circuit of bi-directional deflection, timings of deflection of forward scan path and backward scan path are respectively controlled. The timing of deflection of forward path or backward path is controlled at the first timing control circuit 22 so that it is synchronized with the horizontal synchronizing signal HD and timing of deflection of backward path or forward path is controlled at the second timing control circuit 24 so that deflection cycles of forward path and backward path are equalized.Further, timings of deflection of forward scan path and backward scan path are controlled respectively at first and second phase comparison circuits 22 and 24 so that the relation in phase between the image signal and the deflection takes a constant value on the basis of the horizontal synchronizing signal, to previously prevent occurrence of steady phase error.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 1993Date of Patent: August 23, 1994Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Junzo Watanabe, Akihiro Ueyama, Ban Kawamura

Patent number: 5331532Abstract: A coil (11) is connected in series to a primary winding (1a) of a flyback transformer (1). A series circuit of a capacitor (15) and a switching circuit (12) is connected in parallel to the coil (11). By turning on and off the switching circuit (12), the connection of the capacitor (15) to the coil (11) is switched, to thereby connect or disconnect the coil (11) in an AC fashion. Therefore, it is possible to realize a high voltage regulating circuit which can be made inexpensive.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 1992Date of Patent: July 19, 1994Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Kenji Iwai, Seiji Kawaberi, Akihiro Ueyama, Junzo Watanabe

Patent number: 5051668Abstract: A sine wave deflecting circuit has a simplified configuration capable of ensuring an efficient and stable operation with a function of facilitating external synchronization. The deflecting circuit comprises a resonant circuit comprising a deflecting coil and a resonant capacitor, and a circuit for detecting a signal waveform of the resonant circuit and driving the resonant circuit in accordance with the detection signal, wherein the deflecting coil is driven with sine waves generated by self-oscillation. A deflection interruption time is set during the driving action, and the sine-wave driving frequency is controlled by controlling the length of such interruption time.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 1990Date of Patent: September 24, 1991Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Seiji Kawaberi, Junzo Watanabe, Hitoshi Suzuki

Patent number: 4868464Abstract: In a horizontal deflection output circuit adapted for correction of horizontal linearity in a television receiver or the like, and which comprises a switching transistor, a damper diode, a horizontal deflecting coil and an S correcting capacitor connected in series to the horizontal deflecting coil; the terminal voltage of the S correcting capacitor is modulated by a sawtooth signal produced by a linear distortion correcting circuit synchronously with a horizontal periodic signal. The sawtooth signal produced by the switching transistor and fed to the horizontal deflecting coil is applied to the S correcting capacitor which feeds an S correcting current to the horizontal deflecting coil, so as to correct the image distortion caused particularly by the resistance component of the horizontal deflecting coil.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 1988Date of Patent: September 19, 1989Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Junzo Watanabe, Seiji Kawaberi
