An electrode between the tube neck and the faceplate is biased at or above screen potential to deflect electrons over a greater total angle than is obtained from the magnetic deflection.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2001Date of Patent: October 15, 2002Assignees: Sarnoff Corporation, Orion Electric Company, Ltd.Inventor: David A.

Publication number: 20020057048Abstract: Color display device with a deflection-dependent distance between outer beams. A color display device comprises an electron gun, a display screen and a color selection electrode as well as a deflection means. The distance between the electron beams is dynamically varied, whereby the distance in the deflection space decreases as the beams are deflected in at least one direction. The reduction of the distance enables the distance between the color selection electrode and the display screen to be increased in that direction. As a result, the curvature of the color selection electrode is increased, which has a positive effect on the strength and the doming and microphonic properties of the color selection electrode.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 1998Publication date: May 16, 2002Inventors: JOHANNES C.

Patent number: 6373202Abstract: In a color cathode ray tube having a flat panel exterior surface, the screen distortion and the convergence give rise to problems. To overcome these problems, by arranging bar magnets in such a manner that they are disposed parallel to a screen and are shifted from upper and lower ends of a horizontal deflection coil of a deflection yoke by not less than 10 mm in the direction perpendicular to a tube axis, the distortion of the screen and the characteristics of the convergence can be simultaneously improved.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2000Date of Patent: April 16, 2002Assignee: Hitachi Ltd.Inventors: Yoshinori Ito, Takeshi Kaneki, Mitsuru Watanabe, Souichi Sakurai

Patent number: 6335589Abstract: A color cathode ray tube comprises a vacuum vessel including a panel portion having a phosphor screen on its inner face, a neck portion and a funnel portion joining the neck portion and the panel portion. An inline electron gun is disposed inside of the neck portion and includes a main lens and cathode producing a center electron beam and two side electron beams.
