Patent number: 6903520Abstract: Disclosed is a deflection yoke mounted around a glass bulb of a CRT so as to cover a predetermined area of the glass bulb. The predetermined area is where an outer shape of the glass bulb smoothly goes from circular to substantially rectangular along a tube axis of the CRT. The deflection yoke includes a horizontal deflection coil disposed in a shape to fit with the outer shape of the glass bulb, and a funnel-shaped ferrite core disposed to surround the horizontal deflection coil. The inner shape of the ferrite core is circular throughout a length of the ferrite core.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2002Date of Patent: June 7, 2005Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenichiro Taniwa, Koji Shimada, Shunsuke Matsuura

Publication number: 20040251835Abstract: A CRT apparatus is composed of a CRT, a deflection yoke, a velocity modulation coil, and a magnetic member. The CRT includes a glass bulb made up of a panel and a funnel connected together and an electron gun housed within the glass bulb, and emits an electron beam from the electron gun toward a phosphor screen formed on an inner surface of the panel. The deflection yoke includes a horizontal deflection coil and a vertical deflection coil, and scans the electron beam over the phosphor screen. The velocity modulation coil is arranged outside the CRT, and modulates a velocity at which the electron beam is scanned horizontally. The magnetic member is arranged to surround an outer circumference of the CRT with the velocity modulation coil positioned therebetween, so as to cover a position corresponding to a space between axially aligned electrodes of the electron gun.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2004Publication date: December 16, 2004Inventors: Katsuyo Iwasaki, Kenichiro Taniwa

Patent number: 6791287Abstract: A deflection yoke device includes a deflection yoke for deflecting electron beams in horizontal and vertical directions, the electron beams being emitted from an electron gun of a color cathode ray tube; coma correcting coils positioned on an electron gun side of the deflection yoke so as to be opposed to each other in such a manner that the electron beams pass therebetween; and a pair of cores around which the coma correcting coils are wound, wherein a sliding mechanism is further provided for allowing each of the coma correcting coils to be slidable with respect to the corresponding core. Therefore, a misconvergence can be corrected by a simplified configuration without reducing a sensitivity of the coma correcting coils.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2002Date of Patent: September 14, 2004Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenichiro Taniwa, Katsuyo Iwasaki, Takahiro Yoshinaga

Patent number: 6703801Abstract: In a deflection yoke including a horizontal deflection coil, an insulation frame, a vertical deflection coil, and a ferrite core arranged in this order outwardly, on an outer wall of a minor diameter portion of the insulation frame, a plurality of elastic projections are provided that are arranged in a standing condition to hold an outer wall of a minor diameter portion of the ferrite core. The ferrite core thus can be held in an optimum position in a vertical axis direction. Preferably, the outer wall of the minor diameter portion of the ferrite core has a tapered portion having a diameter decreasing in a direction towards an end side of the minor diameter portion that is held by the elastic projections. The ferrite core thus can be held also in an optimum position in a tube axis direction. A color cathode ray tube device with reduced YH crossed misconvergence thus can be realized.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2001Date of Patent: March 9, 2004Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takahiko Yoshinaga, Kenichiro Taniwa

Publication number: 20040032227Abstract: The invention provides a deflection yoke comprising: a tube-shaped core made of a magnetic material that has on its inner wall, ridges each of which extends along the CRT axis direction, the ridges being arranged circumferentially at intervals and thereby forming slots; a vertical deflection coil wound so that part of its length is disposed in the slots; and a horizontal deflection coil wound so that part of its length is disposed in the slots, wherein the slots include (a) first slots in which one of the horizontal deflection coil and the vertical deflection coil is disposed and (b) second slots in which both of the deflection coils are disposed, and the bottom of each first slot is, for part or all of the length of the slot, closer to the external surface of the evacuated envelope than the bottom of each second slot is.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2003Publication date: February 19, 2004Inventor: Kenichiro Taniwa

Patent number: 6646372Abstract: A deflection yoke having a capability of correcting a lateral inner pincushion distortion with a magnetic field generated by a deflecting coil itself is provided. The deflection yoke includes a saddle-type vertical deflecting coil including a screen side bend portion, a neck side bend portion and a cone portion connecting the screen side bend portion and the neck side bend portion and is installed to a cathode ray tube. When viewing the screen side bend portion of the vertical deflecting coil from a screen side of the cathode ray tube in a direction along the tube axis, a distance between the screen side bend portion and the tube axis is the minimum at a portion close to a diagonal direction of the screen. As a result, the lateral inner pincushion distortion can be corrected with a magnetic field generated by the deflecting coil itself with a simple configuration, without adding any component for correcting the distortion and increasing a deflecting power.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2002Date of Patent: November 11, 2003Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenichiro Taniwa, Koichi Matsumoto
