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.

  • Patent number: 6674230
    Abstract: A cathode ray tube includes an electron gun directing electrons away from a faceplate having an electrode biased at screen potential. One or more electromagnets located on or near the rear wall of the tube envelope are biased with dc currents so that the electron beam (three beams in a color tube) is deflected by the magnetic field produced thereby to impinge upon the faceplate. The electron beam is magnetically deflected over a relatively small angle as it exits the electron gun to scan across the faceplate to impinge upon phosphors thereon to produce light depicting an image or information. The electromagnet closest the electron gun is typically biased to produce a strong magnetic field to deflect electrons to the faceplate near to the electron gun. The electromagnets more distant the electron gun produce magnetic fields to direct electrons towards the faceplate, with the electromagnet most distant the electron gun deflecting the electrons to tend to increase the landing angle thereof on the faceplate.

  • Patent number: 6617779
    Abstract: Roughly described, a CRT contains a magnetic loop bender which causes the beam to undergo a 270° (for example) bend and intersect itself before exiting the bender orthogonally with the screen. Downstream of the bender, the beam is deflected by conventional biaxial scanning means before impingement on the screen. A magnetic field stop plate can be added in a plane that passes through the beam intersection point and that lies parallel to the pole termination plane of the bender magnetic structure. An astigmatic beam shaping mechanism can also be included, as can post-deflection acceleration of the beam to provide further shortening of the tube depth as well as a focusing action that reduces the effect of beam enlargement due to mutual electron repulsion within the beam. All of the beam bending and deflection can be done by externally attached components.

The three in-line electron beams are arranged along an axis that is inclined with respect to a horizontal axis perpendicular to the tube axis and are emitted from an electron beam producing unit. Of the three electron beams, the center beam is focused at a higher degree than the pair of side beams by an electric field lens forming unit. The pair of side beams are deflected by a deflecting unit in the direction of arrangement of the three electron beams away from the center beam and are made incident on a focusing magnetic field generating device constituting a common magnetic field focusing type electron lens for focusing and converging the three electron beams. Then, the three electron beams are directed to a phosphor screen. Accordingly, the electron beams are desirably focused and converged on the phosphor screen with a small beam spot size.
