  • Patent number: 7034901
    Abstract: A projection display comprises three cathode ray tubes each having a deflection yoke and convergence yoke and each tube generating a raster for projection. One of the three cathode ray tubes has the convergence yoke coupled for current flow in a direction opposite to that of the other two convergence yokes. An amplifier is respectively coupled to each convergence yoke for convergence correction of each raster. A convergence circuit supplies correction signal values that are coupled to each respective amplifier such that convergence correction by the other two convergence yokes is responsive to a difference between the correction signal value coupled to the one convergence yoke and the correction signal values coupled to the other two convergence yokes.

  • Patent number: 6489735
    Abstract: In a waveform generator, a repetitive non-linear waveform is generated by varying the number supplied to a pulse reduction circuit during the repetition period. Consequently, the pulse reduction circuit supplies a number of desired output pulses, which number varies in time corresponding to the varying number. For example, when a lower number is inputted to the pulse reduction circuit during a sub-period of the repetition period, a corresponding lower number of output pulses will be generated. Consequently, a lower number of increment values will be summed or integrated during this sub-period and the waveform changes less steeply.

  • Patent number: 6380988
    Abstract: A focus compensation apparatus and method for a monitor system are provided. The focus compensation apparatus includes a parabolic signal generation circuit for generating a parabolic signal in synchronization with a horizontal flyback pulse, the waveform of the parabolic signal varying in response to first and second control signals. A video signal focus compensator adjusts the gain of an input video signal such that the gain increases from the center of the monitor screen toward the edge of the monitor screen in response to the parabolic signal. The focus compensator outputs a gain-adjusted video signal as a focus-compensated video signal. According to the focus compensation apparatus, the gain of an input video signal is adjusted using a parabolic signal, the level of which increases from the center of a monitor screen toward the edge of the monitor screen, thereby preventing a picture from being out of focus and blurred at the edge of the monitor screen.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for reducing an electric field produced by display devices equipped with cathode ray tubes, in their surroundings. According to the invention, a part of a spectrum (ff), caused by a picture content, the level of which is separately adjusted, is discriminated from an interference voltage frequency spectrum (fs), produced by the display terminal and caused by deflection signals (fv, fh). Spurious pulses, significant for the generation of the electric field, are connected to a compensation circuit, wherein they are summed and supplied to a common emitter. The directions of the pulses are determined so that the electric field produced by the emitter reverses the field produced by the display device.

  • Patent number: 6215258
    Abstract: A dynamic focus circuit enables ideal focusing characteristics to be obtained across the entire screen of a wide-angled cathode ray tube, by generating a dynamic focus voltage having a flat-bottomed waveform through the addition of a simple circuit to a conventional analog circuit. If an S-shaping voltage method is used, the voltage of a signal induced in a secondary coil of a step-up transformer for raising the voltage of a parabolic waveform signal having a horizontal deflection period switches the gain for converting the parabolic waveform signal to a dynamic focus voltage, according to whether the induced voltage exceeds a specified reference value. If the induced voltage does not exceed the specified reference value, the parabolic waveform signal is converted to the dynamic focus voltage at a gain of less than one.
