  • Patent number: 5663774
    Abstract: A projection system suitable for reducing the convergence angles for red, green and blue color beams is disclosed. The projection system includes first and second beam projection tubes arranged in an in-line type arrangement in the center of the interior of a support part of the system, and a third beam projection tube placed beside the first and second beam projection tubes and inclined relative to the first and second projection tubes at predetermined inclination angles. A dichroic mirror is placed on an optical axis of the third projection tube in front of the third projection tube. The dichroic mirror transmits the beams projected by the first and second projection tubes but reflects the beam projected by the third projection tube. The third beam projection tube may be placed in back of the first and second beam projection tubes.

  • Patent number: 5654778
    Abstract: An image display device, having a casing in which a television device and a video device are enclosed, includes a main circuit board having a first area for installing electronic parts of a power supply circuit and a second area for installing remaining electronic parts for TV and video device. Since the electronic parts of the power supply circuit are arranged within a separated area formed on the main circuit board, the electronic parts for the TV device and the electronic parts for the video device can be installed with high density and with no substantial interference with each other.

  • Patent number: 5416595
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for securing a degaussing coil to a cathode ray tube (CRT) are disclosed wherein one or more restraint cables are used together with one or more cable ties to secure and position a degaussing coil onto a CRT. The method and apparatus of the present invention compensate for variations in the length of the degaussing coil without compromising the positioning of the degaussing coil on the CRT.

  • Patent number: 5410373
    Abstract: An electronic chassis is disclosed for supporting components such as a CRT device or flat panel display unit and adapted for installation through an opening in a cabinet without requiring access from within the cabinet to secure the chassis in place. The frontal end of the chassis has flange members on opposite sides which fit against the cabinet surface around its opening. One side of the chassis frontal end has a movable retainer means controlled by one or more drive screws that can be adjusted to grip one side of the cabinet opening. Continued actuation of the drive screws moves the chassis into locking contact with a fixed retainer means on the opposite side of the chassis. A bezel frame member attached to the frontal end of the chassis covers the drive screws but has access holes to facilitate their adjustment, and gaskets are provided on the bezel frame to prevent moisture from entering the chassis or the cabinet opening.

  • Patent number: 5363148
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to display sets wherein the image produced by a cathode-ray tube is displayed on a display screen by means of an optical device. It relates more particularly to means for facilitating the relative positioning between the cathode-ray tube and the optical device. The cathode-ray tube comprises a bulb having one end closed by a transparent plate bearing an cathodoluminescent screen. In one characteristic, the transparent plate is greater than the bulb and comprises a peripheral part that extends beyond the bulb so as to constitute a reference marker of the position of the cathodoluminescent screen. FIG. 1.

  • Patent number: 5359421
    Abstract: A bezel which minimizes possible production of powder by rubbing thereof with a cathode ray tube to prevent possible deterioration of an appearance of a display unit in which the bezel and the cathode ray tube are assembled. The bezel has, around a substantially rectangular opening thereof, a contact area at which it is to contact with a cathode ray tube to which the bezel is to be assembled. The contact area is provided by a plurality of ribs formed in a suitably spaced relationship from each other on the bezel along an inner periphery of the opening in such a manner as to extend perpendicularly to the inner periphery of the opening. Some of the ribs which are provided along a pair or two pairs of opposing edges of the inner periphery of the opening may be replaced by different ribs which individually extend in parallel to the edges of the inner periphery of the opening.

  • Patent number: 5347367
    Abstract: A cathode-ray tube comprises an evacuated envelope having a faceplate panel with a sidewall joined to a funnel. A shrinkfit implosion protection band surrounds at least a portion of the sidewall and is in contact therewith. A plurality of openings are formed in the implosion protection band to support a degaussing coil. The implosion protection band is improved over prior bands by providing a cavity in the band around at least three sides of each of the openings. The cavity is directed toward the sidewall of the panel so that the openings in the band are spaced therefrom.

  • Patent number: 5294994
    Abstract: An computer assembly having an integral video display and processor subsystem in a single enclosure is described. The assembly contains an electrically conductive safety wall inside the enclosure which separates the interior of the enclosure into a high-voltage region where the video display components are mounted, and a low-voltage region where the processor subsystem is mounted. The enclosure has a removable rear cover which allows access to the processor subsystem for upgrading memory. An electrically conductive liner is attached to the rear cover for EMI shielding of the low-voltage region.
