Patent number: 6411027Abstract: The invention relates to a color display device comprising an in-line electron gun (5) for generating three electron beams (6,7,8), and a convergence unit (14′) to dynamically influence the convergence of the electron beams, preferably to decrease a distance (p) between the electron beams. The convergence unit (14′) comprises a ring-shaped element (21′) having four coils (22′). The coils (22′) comprise electrically conductive wires, which have been toroidally wound in a winding direction and according to a winding density distribution N (&phgr;) given by N (&phgr;)=N0 cos (2&phgr;). Here &phgr; is an angle enclosed by the X-direction and a line between an element of the coil and the center, which ranges between 0° and 360°, N0 is the winding density at &phgr; equal to 0°, and the sign of N &phgr; denotes the winding direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 1999Date of Patent: June 25, 2002Assignee: U.S. Philips CorporationInventors: Albertus A.

Patent number: 4885502Abstract: An electromagnetic deflection unit for use in a projection television display tube, includes: a system of line deflection coils having two oppositely located saddle coils each with their longitudinal conductor groups which are to be positioned on either side of the longitudinal axis of the display tube. At the screen-sided end the conductor groups of the oppositely located saddle coils are located at a first distance, on one side of the tube axis and on the other side they are located at a second, smaller distance from each other, whereas at the gun-sided end the situation is just the reverse. The distances at the screen-sided end are adjusted to generate a 4-pole component upon energization of the line deflection coil system, which component renders the raster to be written on the display screen trapezoidal. The distances at the gun-sided end are adjusted to generate a 4-pole component which is opposite to the 4-pole component generated in the proximity of the screen-sided end.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 1988Date of Patent: December 5, 1989Assignee: U.S. Philips CorporationInventors: Albertus A.

Patent number: 4746837Abstract: A color display tube deflection unit having an annular magnetizable core of tapered cylindrical shape and a raster distortion correction device comprising four pole shoes positioned at the corners of a rectangle adjacent the end of the core facing the display screen, the pole shoes respectively being near respective ends of a pair of vertical deflection coils. The four pole shoes are connected in pairs by respective bridging flux collector elements of soft magnetic material. The flux collector elements divert magnetic flux from the core which otherwise would not have emerged from the core, and such flux is conveyed to the pole shoes so as to cause the vertical deflection field to become pincushion-shaped adjacent the display screen.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1986Date of Patent: May 24, 1988Assignee: U.S. Philips Corp.Inventor: Nicolaas G.
