  • Patent number: 7847481
    Abstract: Ribs for defining pixel cells are formed in the shape of a lattice, and sustain electrodes and scan electrodes are disposed near the ribs. The electrodes are spaced apart in each pixel cell, and the sustain electrode and the scan electrode are each cut away between pixel cells arranged in the row direction to provide each pixel cell with individually separated electrodes. In addition, between pixel cells adjacent to each other in the row direction, the sustain electrodes and the scan electrodes are connected to each other by means of a sustain-side bus electrode and a scan-side bus electrode, respectively. This makes it possible to provide a high luminous efficiency. Furthermore, each pixel cell is provided with a wide distance between the electrodes and thereby with a large effective opening portion. Thus, this provides only a small amount of reduction in intensity when the electrodes are spaced apart between the pixel cells arranged in the row direction in order to increase the luminous efficiency.

  • Patent number: 6262525
    Abstract: A ring-formed correction coil for generating a magnetic field is mounted on the cathode side of CPM 4 provided on the neck portion of a color cathode ray tube, thereby being disposed distant from the deflection yoke. By using the magnetic field generated by supplying a correction current from a control circuit to the correction coil of this arrangement, correction of convergence error of R and G beam horizontal lines are carried out without causing landing transition or raster rotation. Further, since the correction coil is disposed distant from the phosphor screen, a large amount of correction can be assured on the phosphor screen, thereby saving current supplied from the control circuit to the correction coil.
