  • Patent number: 5783902
    Abstract: The improved convergence core assembly utilizes a separate carriage for the convergence core. This separate carriage properly aligns and holds the convergence core in relation to the convergence core assembly. In particular embodiments, the separate core carriage provides self centering and positional stability for the convergence core in the x-y plane, in the z-axis, and rotationally in the x-y plane. To accomplish this, the core carriage includes means for positioning the convergence core in the convergence core assembly. In certain embodiments, the means for positioning includes leaf springs and positioning tabs. The leaf springs tend to force the electromagnetic coil assembly against the stops of the positioning tabs to properly locate the convergence core in the z-axis. The positioning tabs also exert opposing spring forces on the convergence core to center the convergence core assembly in the x-y plane.

  • Patent number: 5519281
    Abstract: Display tube comprising a deflection unit provided with a (twist) correction device which includes an annular (twist) correction coil surrounding the tube neck, which coil, when energized by a circuit providing a (twist) correction current, generates a magnetic correction field in the axial direction of the display tube. According to the invention, the device also provides a 4-pole y field for correcting (twist) errors in the center of the display screen. This 4-pole y field can be generated by causing the turns of the annular coil to follow a path having four predetermined corrugations alternately facing the display screen and the electron gun.

  • Patent number: 5519371
    Abstract: The horizontal deflection apparatus has a separator whose cross-section takes a saddle-shape form, and horizontal deflecting coils are comprised of three coil groups connected in a series to each other. The first coil group is wound on the outermost circumference on the inside of the main structure of the separator, the second coil group is wound at a predetermined distance from the first coil group, and the third coil group is wound at a predetermined distance from the second coil group. Deflecting efficiency at the deflection center is improved because the deflection magnetic field generated from the second and third coil groups is generated at the deflection center.

    Abstract: A deflection yoke has a non-magnetic conductor on a screen-bent portion or a neck-bent portion of a vertical deflection coil, and the non-magnetic conductor is connected to ground by means of a lead line for the purpose of eliminating a ringing phenomenon caused by stray capacitance between horizontal and vertical deflection coils, and the vertical deflection coil and a ferrite core, which can be adopted to any saddle-saddle type deflection yokes having saddle-shaped vertical and horizontal deflection coils. A considerable amount of the stray capacitance is passed to the ground, and the ringing phenomenon is improved.

A form holds the magnets in a first annular array at substantially equally spaced intervals in which the magnet axes are substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis defined by the first annular array and holds the coils in a second annular array at positions spaced angularly between the magnets. Annular flanges of high magnetic permeability are disposed over longitudinally opposite ends of the magnets. At least one annular winding is disposed substantially adjacent to and inwardly from the first array of the magnets. In one embodiment, the coils are helical coils disposed in substantial circumferential alignment with the first annular array of the magnets.

  • Patent number: 5465026
    Abstract: A deflection yoke includes a first core portion and a core extension portion. The core extension portion is located in the rear of the yoke closer to the beam entrance region. To adjust the yoke for the particular cathode ray tube on which it is mounted, the position of the yoke is adjusted for obtaining acceptable image geometry. Then, the core extension is moved with respect to the first core portion in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tube to obtain convergence symmetry while the position of the first core portion remains the same. In this way, convergence symmetry adjustment is accomplished separately from image geometry adjustment.
