Patent number: 6472810Abstract: A light device includes a shielding plate (2) having an opening (2H) of a rectangular cross-sectional configuration and placed over an optical window retainer (15). The shielding plate (2) is placed so that an opening wall surface (2HS) thereof is positioned on an optical path (Zr(x)) of light emerging from an optical window (14) at a usable angle (&thgr;e) and that a half width (Xu) of the opening (2H) satisfies Xu=u/cot(&thgr;e)+t×sin(&thgr;e)/sgrt(ng2−sin2(&thgr;e))+s. The optical window retainer (15) is placed in a region outside a boundary line given as Zh(x)=±(1×tan(&thgr;e)(x±Xu)+u (plus (+) when x≦−Xu; minus (−) when x≧Xu) and also in aregion outside the optical path (Zr(x)). The light source device suppresses an uneven illuminance distribution of exposure light resulting from superimposition of light scattered from the opening wall surface of the optical window retainer upon the exposure light.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2000Date of Patent: October 29, 2002Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroshi Teramoto, Nobuyuki Zumoto, Shigeru Nishimoto

Patent number: 6469842Abstract: An apparatus for patterning a phosphor screen on the faceplate of a cathode-ray tube has a main lens that refracts light to simulate electron-beam trajectories. The main lens includes a fixed lens with a curved surface, and at least one replaceable flat element. The apparatus also has at least one sub-lens, with a curved surface, that can be substituted for the flat element to compensate for inaccurate simulation of the electron-beam trajectories.
