  • Patent number: 7385341
    Abstract: A plurality of magnet rings for correcting a convergence are arranged in a tube axis direction with spacers interposed therebetween, on an outer circumferential surface of a neck. A velocity modulation coil for modulating a scanning velocity in a horizontal direction of an electron beam is placed so that a position of the velocity modulation coil in the tube axis direction is overlapped with those of the magnet rings. At least one of the spacers is made of only a magnetic substance. Alternatively, at least one of the spacers is made of a magnetic substance, and the outermost surface in a radius direction of the spacer made of a magnetic substance is covered with a non-metallic material. Because of this, the magnetic field formed by the velocity modulation coil can be intensified without disturbing the magnetic field of the magnet rings of a CPU.

  • Patent number: 7355331
    Abstract: In a cross-section including a tube axis, assuming that T1 represents a thickness of a funnel at a point on an outer circumferential surface of the funnel, which is placed at the same position in a tube axis direction as that of an end of a horizontal deflection coil on a phosphor screen side, and T2 represents a thickness of the funnel at a point on the outer circumferential surface of the funnel, which is placed at the same position in the tube axis direction as a position 7 mm away from the end of the horizontal deflection coil on the phosphor screen side to the phosphor screen side along the tube axis, the funnel includes at least one cross-section including the tube axis satisfying a relationship: T2/T1?1.18. Owing to this, cone halation can be prevented while an X-ray leakage amount is limited to a predetermined value or less.

  • Patent number: 7315112
    Abstract: An insulating frame of a deflection yoke is fixed to a funnel with a metal band and a metal screw. A partition formed so as to be integrated with a holder holding a magnet ring of a CPU includes a first partition provided on a first axis so as to hide the metal screw when the deflection yoke is seen from the holder side along a tube axis, and a second partition provided on a second axis orthogonal to the first axis. A height H1 of the first partition, a height H2 of the second partition, a minimum height Hmin of the partition, a height HM of a pull of a magnet ring on a side closest to the deflection yoke, and an outer circumferential edge diameter RM of the magnet ring excluding the pull satisfy relationships: H1>H2, HM?H2>10 mm, and Hmin>RM. Because of this, a discharge between a metal band and a metal screw that fix the deflection yoke, and a velocity modulation coil can be prevented without decreasing the operability of the rotation adjustment of the magnet ring of the CPU.

  • Patent number: 7211941
    Abstract: A deflection yoke includes a horizontal deflection coil, a vertical deflection coil, an insulating frame made of an insulating material, a deflection adjusting plate attached to an outer circumferential surface of the insulating frame, and a ferrite core covering at least a part of an outer circumference of the insulating frame. The deflection adjusting plate is fixed to the outer circumferential surface of the insulating frame, under the condition of being surrounded by a high-soft resin material with a hardness of 10 to 60. Because of this, even when the deflection adjusting plate vibrates during driving, the deflection adjusting plate does not directly bump into the insulating frame, so that the noise generated by the deflection yoke can be reduced significantly.

  • Patent number: 7129628
    Abstract: A pair of velocity modulation coils are placed with a horizontal plane including a tube axis interposed therebetween, and a pair of magnetic substances are placed with a vertical plane including a tube axis interposed therebetween. A straight line portion of the velocity modulation coil extending substantially in parallel to the tube axis is placed between the magnetic substance and the tube axis. An interval D between the magnetic substance and the straight line portion is 1 to 3 mm. Assuming that the tube axis is a Z-axis, a size of the velocity modulation coil in a tube axis direction is L, and a position of an end of the velocity modulation coil on a side opposite to a phosphor screen in the tube axis direction is Z=0, a center point of the pair of magnetic substances in the tube axis direction is present in a range of Z=0.2×L to 0.9×L. Consequently, the sensitivity of velocity modulation can be enhanced while suppressing an increase in a driving power with a simple configuration.

  • Patent number: 7126292
    Abstract: A deflection coil for deflecting an electron beam emitted from an electron gun is provided outside a cathode-ray tube in which the electron gun is housed, and a phosphor screen is formed.
