Abstract: A horizontal S-shaped correction signal circuit having a correction condenser disposed in a cathode ray tube (CRT) horizontal deflection circuit such as in a television receiver, a display monitor, etc. In particular, a horizontal S-shaped correction signal circuit which is capable of obtaining an accurate correction effect and a desired adjustment. The total capacitance of the correction condenser C.sub.S for a horizontal deflection circuit is variable by selectively connecting in parallel therewith correction condensers C.sub.S1 and C.sub.S2 by switches SW.sub.1 and SW.sub.2 during the scanning interval. Therefore, the correction characteristic is improved. Namely, it is possible to obtain a highly accurate S-shaped correction signal. In addition, it is possible to independently control the width of the front portion and rear portion of the horizontal scanning interval by controlling externally inputted direct control current signals DA-C.sub.TL1 and DA-C.sub.TL2.

The lamp includes a plurality of light-emitting diodes arranged on a supporting board, condenser lenses provided in front of each of the light-emitting diodes, and diffusion lenses arranged in front of the condenser lenses. A housing member supports the supporting board, the condenser lenses, and the diffusion lenses, the housing member having air holes formed therein to provide for ventilation. With this arrangement, the light produced by the light-emitting diodes is applied in the form of parallel beams to the front lens member by the condenser lenses, and the parallel light beams are diffused by the diffusion lenses on the front lens member. Accordingly, the front surface of the front lens member is illuminated in its entirety and illuminated uniformly.

Additional embodiments are disclosed for imparting both lateral and vertical divergence to the light beam emitted, and for producing two vertically overlapping light beams.

Abstract: A lamp assembly is disclosed as adapted for use as a supplemental high mounted stop lamp to be installed just interiorly of a steeply slanting rear window of a motor vehicle. A lamp housing has a light source disposed therein, and two generally planar lens members are mounted at the open front end of the lamp housing in parallel spaced relation to each other. The inner lens member is configured to provide a Fresnel lens effective to render the light rays from the source parallel to the principal axis of the lamp assembly, thereby superseding the paraboloidal reflector heretofore employed to the same end. The outer lens member has a plurality of prismatic lens segments for internally reflecting the parallel rays from the inner lens member in a predetermined direction at a considerable angle to the lamp assembly axis. Preferably, the two lens members are further so molded as to impart both lateral and vertical divergence to the light beam emitted by the lamp assembly.
