  • Patent number: 7471053
    Abstract: The present invention provides a multi-beam klystron apparatus. In the above-described multi-beam klystron apparatus, the magnetic field generating element of the electron-gun-unit-side magnetic field generating unit is disposed around the electron gun unit, and a plurality of magnetic gaps are provided in the inner peripheral surface of the magnetic pole, which covers the magnetic field generating element, in the direction of travel of the electron beams. Therefore, lines of magnetic force, which are parallel to the center axis of the radio-frequency interaction unit, can be generated. Thus, even the electron beam, which is generated from the location apart from the center axis of the electron gun unit, can be guided to the radio-frequency interaction unit in the same manner as in the location at the canter axis of the electron gun unit.

    Abstract: A set of three cathodes, a control electrode, an accelerating electrode, a first focus electrode, a second focus electrode, a third focus electrode, a fourth focus electrode, a final accelerating electrode and a shield cup electrode are provided successively in an electron beam travelling direction. The shield cup electrode has a pair of screen-shaped electrodes that sandwich electron-beam through-holes in a vertical direction. A quadrupole lens that has a horizontal convergent action and a vertical divergent action is generated by an electrical potential difference between the screen-shaped electrodes and the final accelerating electrode. Accordingly, even if vertical and horizontal convergence power difference in a main lens formed by the fourth focus electrode and the final accelerating electrode is not large, a composite lens formed through a combination of the quadrupole lens and the main lens has strong horizontal convergence power and weak vertical convergence power.

At an end, on a screen side, of the electron gun, two pairs of members for generating a magnetic field are placed above and below side beams of three electron beams so as to sandwich them, respectively. Between each of the two pairs of members for generating a magnetic field, a localized barrel magnetic field is formed to vary cross-sectional shapes of the side beams positioned on both sides of a center beam so that the cross-sectional shape of one of the side beams is horizontally or vertically elongated to a higher degree than that to which the cross-sectional shape of the other of the side beams is. Magnetic fields for reverse correction of spot distortions of the side beams are generated and therefore the symmetry in the spot distortions of the side beams asymmetric with each other is improved, thus improving focus quality.

    Abstract: A color picture tube apparatus comprises auxiliary electrodes provided between first and second focusing electrodes, a nonaxisymmetric electrostatic lens is generated between the auxiliary electrodes and a focusing lens is generated between the first focusing electrode and the auxiliary electrode. A dynamic voltage V.sub.d is applied to the first and second focusing electrodes. Consequently, the effect of compensating the astigmatism of the electron beam caused by the deflection magnetic field and the defocus of the electron beam can be increased, the dynamic voltage can be decreased, and as a result, the cost of the circuit can be reduced. As the focusing function of the additional focusing lens is weakened and the electron beam trajectory is expanded, the magnification of the lens both at the center and the periphery of the screen can be equalized substantially and the uniformity of the focus of the electron beam between that at the center of the screen and that at the periphery of the screen becomes high.

  • Patent number: 5227692
    Abstract: A convergence correcting magnet assembly means for adjusting the position of plural correcting magnets closer to or further from electron beams in a cathode ray tube, preferably comprising four bipolar magnets arranged in two offset pairs, one pair oriented in the lateral direction and a second pair in the longitudinal direction; the pairs of magnets permit laterally and longitudinally deviating beams to be adjusted or converged toward the center beam. Preferably, each of the bipolar magnets is installed in a clearance space having a spring-loaded or elastic member and an adjusting member, so that the intensities of each magnet can be adjusted by individually moving each magnet closer to or further from the beams under spring tension. Interactions between the magnets are minimized by isolating the magnets from one another.

  • Patent number: 5202603
    Abstract: A color cathode ray tube apparatus is provided with an electron gun assembly which emits three electron beams and focuses and converges the electron beam onto a phosphor screen. In the gun assembly, the electron beams generated from cathodes are accelerated and controlled by first and second grids and pass through third, fourth and fifth grids. The third and fourth grids have single rectangular apertures common to the three electron beams, respectively, which are faced to each other and have different heights and widths. Each of the fourth and fifth grids have individual apertures which allow the corresponding electron beams to pass therethrough, respectively. The third and fifth grids is maintained at fixed potentials and a potential of the fourth grid is adjusted. Thus, individual focusing and convergence electron lenses are formed between the fourth and fifth grids.

  • Patent number: 5170101
    Abstract: A three beam, in-line, color CRT electron gun is disclosed for use in high resolution tubes with self convergent yokes. The dynamic quadrupole and main lenses of the gun are complementary to provide emitted beams that are radially symmetrical and of like size and shape, and of constant horizontal dimension and focal length throughout the deflection cycle, thus letting the yoke provide for the correct beam focus upon deflection. Vertical emitted-beam dimension is balanced against the yoke compressive force and the increased deflected beam throw distance to provide well-controlled spot sizes.

  • Patent number: 5027097
    Abstract: A coil-carrier half (11) for a saddle-coil arrangement for a cathode ray tube accomodates a saddle-coil winding, in a front groove (13), a rear groove (14), left slots (18.11-18.51) and right slots. Prolongation of the left slots in comparison with the right slots results from the presence. in a rear wall (15.h) of a front-groove, at the positions where the left slots open out into the groove, of steps which are greater towards the front than at the fan-out positions of the right slots.In an asymmetrically built coil-carrier half of this sort, turns (12)' are introduced in each slot so that they run towards the prolongation position of the slot. This produces a saddle-coil arrangement which leads to fewer image defects than when a conventional saddle-coil arrangement with symmetrical coil-carrier halves is used.
