Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement of an in-line type color picture tube device.

[Technical background of the invention]

The envelope of the color picture tube has a neck that houses three electron guns,
It is composed of a face plate having a fluorescent screen and a funnel interposed between the neck and the face plate.

The three-electron gun is mounted in the neck in a horizontal direction in an in-line shape, and the emitted electron beam is made to strike the fluorescent surface on which the fluorescent material layer is formed to emit light. In order to realize the emission of the phosphor layer with good color reproduction, it is necessary to selectively project the electron beam onto a predetermined phosphor layer. Therefore, a shadow mask with a large number of apertures is close to the face plate. Are placed.

The in-line electron gun is designed to generate three electron beams on a common plane by a cathode and concentrate these three electron beams in the vicinity of the face plate. A method of concentrating three electron beams is described in, for example, US Pat. No. 2,957,106.
As shown in the specification, there is a technique of concentrating the electron beam emitted from the cathode by inclining it from the beginning,
Further, as shown in US Pat. No. 3,772,554, among the three electron beam passing holes provided in the electron gun electrode, the holes on both sides of a part of the electrodes are slightly outward from the central axis of the electron gun. There is a technique of concentrating the electron beam by displacing it, and both are widely adopted.

In order to display a television image on the screen (fluorescent screen) of a color picture tube, a deflecting device for scanning the electron beam emitted from the electron gun over the entire fluorescent screen is required. This is located outside the funnel cone. Mounted. The deflection device basically has a horizontal deflection coil for generating a horizontal deflection magnetic field for horizontally deflecting the electron beam and a vertical deflection coil for generating a vertical deflection magnetic field for vertically deflecting the electron beam. ing. In an actual color picture tube device, when the electron beam is deflected, the concentration of the three electron beam spots on the face plate collapses. Therefore, measures are taken to prevent this concentration collapse. This is called a convergence-free system, in which the horizontal deflection magnetic field is a pincushion type and the vertical deflection magnetic field is a barrel type so that three electron beams are concentrated on the entire phosphor screen. As a result, this system eliminates the need for a parabola current generation circuit for convergence correction and a convergence yoke for generating a convergence correction magnetic field, which results in many effects such as cost reduction and productivity improvement.

[Problems of Background Art] As described above, although the quality of the color picture tube has been improved by adopting many development techniques, new problems are being highlighted as the size of the tube becomes widespread.

That is, the beam spot emitted from the three-electron gun and concentrated on the face plate exhibits only a circular core as shown in FIG. At the peripheral portion of the screen, a flattened core and flare spread vertically are exhibited as shown in FIG. 4 (b). As a result, the size of the electron beam of the electron beam increases at the peripheral portion of the screen, and the focusing performance and resolution deteriorate.

Specifically, in the case of a 20-inch 90-degree deflection tube, if the horizontal dimension of the core is C _H and the vertical dimension is C _V ,
C _H = C _V = 1.0 mm, but C _H = 20 mm, C at the horizontal deflection end
Very flat with _V = 0.3 mm. Also, the dimension F _V from the upper end to the lower end of the flare is 1.5 mm. This dimension is a value only when the electron beam is horizontally deflected, but is further distorted at the corner of the screen where vertical deflection is applied.

[Object of the Invention]

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide a color picture tube device capable of obtaining bright high resolution over the entire screen while reducing the distortion of the electron beam spot at the peripheral portion of the screen. And

[Outline of Invention]

The present invention provides a neck in which three electron guns are horizontally installed inline, and three colors of red, green, and blue are formed by a bombardment of an electron beam emitted from the electron gun on the inner surface of the neck connected to the neck through a funnel. A plate having a phosphor surface on which a phosphor layer for emitting light is regularly formed and deposited, and a large number of apertures arranged close to the face plate for selectively projecting the electron beam onto the phosphor layer. A color picture tube having a shadow mask and a deflection device which is mounted on the outer wall of the funnel and generates a deflection magnetic field for horizontally deflecting an electron beam emitted from the electron gun and a deflection magnetic field for vertically deflecting the electron beam. .

Here, the three electron beams emitted from the electron gun are substantially parallel. Further, the horizontal deflection magnetic field forms a substantially uniform magnetic field distribution, the vertical deflection magnetic field forms a barrel type magnetic field distribution, and the center of the horizontal deflection magnetic field advances from the center of the vertical deflection magnetic field to the phosphor screen side. . The half value width a of the magnetic flux density distribution on the tube axis of the horizontal deflection magnetic field is included in the range of 0.1 to 0.4 times the distance A from the center of the density distribution to the phosphor screen. The full width at half maximum a exhibits a better effect in the range of 0.2 to 0.3 times the distance A, and the full width at half maximum a is about 0.25 times the distance A and exhibits the best characteristics.

Further, the transfer signals to the three-electron gun have mutually controlled time lags so that the three-electron beam is substantially concentrated on the face plate or in the vicinity of the plate.

The color picture tube device of the present invention having the above configuration will be described in more detail based on the results of experiments conducted by the inventor.

The inventors of the present invention focused on the fact that the horizontal deflection magnetic field is the pincushion type, which is the main cause of the distortion of the electron beam spot around the screen, and tried to make the horizontal deflection magnetic field uniform. Fig. 5 shows the electron beam spot shape at the center of the screen and the peripheral part of the screen in the case of a uniform horizontal deflection magnetic field as shown in Fig. 2 (a) in a 20-inch type 90 degree deflection tube. C _H = Since 1.5 mm and C _V = 0.6 mm, it can be seen that the shape of the core has been greatly improved.

However, this electron beam spot shape is still not sufficient.

The inventors of the present invention further conducted experiments and found that the shape of the flare becomes better when a predetermined relationship is established between the magnetic flux density distribution of the deflection magnetic field and the size of the color picture tube.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the relationship between the magnetic flux density distribution on the tube axis of the uniform deflection horizontal deflection magnetic field and the distance from the center of this distribution to the phosphor screen.

Here, the position showing the maximum value B _P of the magnetic flux density distribution is defined as the center of the density distribution, and the length determined by the half-width of the maximum value B _P is defined as the magnetic path length a, and the distance from the center of the density distribution to the face plate is defined. Be A. As shown in FIG. 5, if the horizontal dimension of flare is F _H and the vertical dimension is F _V , then a / A and F _V /
It was found that there is a relationship with F _H as shown in Fig. 6.
On the other hand, the value of F _V / F _H needs to be 0.5 or more and 2.0 or less when evaluated practically.
The practical range of / A is 0.1 or more and 0.4 or less. The more preferable range of a / A is 0.2 to 0.3. The most ideal state is obtained when a / A≈0.25, and the flare is circular and minimum.

FIG. 7 shows the electron beam spot shapes at the screen center and the screen peripheral portion when a / A≈0.25. To further improve the electron beam spot shape (b) at the peripheral portion of the screen in FIG. 7, it is possible to improve it by adjusting the focal length of the electron lens of the electron gun at the screen alignment portion. For example, as shown in FIG. It is improved as shown in.

The above configuration improves the electron beam spot shape. On the other hand, regarding the concentration of the three electron beams, the three electron beams emitted from the electron gun are made substantially parallel by the configuration of the present invention, and the signals transferred to the three electron guns wait for mutually controlled time lags. By doing so, the electron beam is concentrated on the entire face plate.

This method will be described. If signals are simultaneously sent to the three electron guns, the electron beam spots on the face plate are separated from each other by a certain amount Δ. However, in this method, the signal transfer time to the second electron gun is delayed by τ with respect to the signal transfer time to the first electron gun, and the signal transfer time to the second electron gun is set to the third time. The signal transfer time to the electron gun is delayed by τ. Here, if the horizontal width of the screen is H, the horizontal deflection frequency is _H , and the constant determined by overscan is C, the delay time τ is Thus, the electron beam spot can be concentrated over the entire screen.

In the present invention, since the deviation amount Δ of the three electron beam spots is one factor, it is preferable to keep this Δ constant over the entire screen. For that purpose, the vertical deflection magnetic field needs to be barrel type. There is.

The effect of the barrel-shaped magnetic field on the deviation Δ is Given in. Where H ₂ is a coefficient that indicates the inhomogeneity of the magnetic field. Is defined by Y is the amount of the beam on the tube axis of the color picture tube, and increases as it approaches the face plate. Z _S represents the distance from the face plate to the deflection start point.
Therefore, the larger Y is, that is, the closer the deflection magnetic field is to the face plate, the greater the effect that the barrel magnetic field has on the deviation amount Δ.

On the other hand, the vertical beam concentration error at the four corners of the screen usually shows the pattern shown in FIG. 9, and in order to reduce it, it is necessary to make the fluorescent screen side of the vertical deflection magnetic field as uniform as possible.

Furthermore, it has been found that the following measures are indispensable in order to obtain substantially acceptable beam concentration accuracy.

That is, it is necessary to make the center of the horizontal deflection magnetic field and the center of the vertical deflection magnetic field different from each other so that the center of the horizontal deflection magnetic field is advanced to the phosphor screen side from the center of the vertical deflection magnetic field.

To obtain such a magnetic field distribution, either shift the vertical deflection coil to the electron gun side, or remove the coil at the end of the fluorescent screen side to make the magnetic field distribution substantially shorter than the horizontal magnetic field. There is a means to do so.

As a result, the vertical beam concentration error at the four corners of the screen can be substantially allowed.

On the inner surface of the face plate (1), phosphor dots or phosphor stripes that emit red, green and blue colors are regularly arranged to form a phosphor screen (5) for image display. A shadow mask (6) is arranged in close proximity to the fluorescent screen (5). Shadow mask
(6) is usually made of a thin iron plate with a dome shape similar to the inner surface of the face plate (1), and the part facing the phosphor screen (5) was opened so that the electron beam would hit the phosphor correctly. It has a large number of openings.

Inside the neck (4) are three electron guns corresponding to the three colors red, green and blue
(7) is enclosed. These 3 electron guns are arranged in a line in the horizontal direction, and the emitted electron beams are about 6.6m from each other.
It is configured to be parallel with an interval of m. Each electron gun is composed of a cathode control electrode, a closing electrode, a focusing electrode, and a high-voltage electrode of an electron beam generation source, to which a predetermined voltage is applied. The high-voltage electrode voltage is usually an extremely high voltage of 25 kV, and the inside of the color picture tube is maintained at a constant voltage of 25 kV.

The vicinity of the neck (4) connection part of the funnel (2) is called a cone part (3), and the deflecting device (9) is usually attached to this part.

The deflecting device is a magnetic field that horizontally deflects the electron beam and generates a uniform magnetic field as shown in FIG. 2A, and a magnetic field that vertically deflects the magnetic field. It consists of a vertical deflection coil that produces a barrel-shaped magnetic field as shown in b). The deflection coil is designed so that the half width a of the magnetic flux density distribution on the tube axis of the horizontal deflection magnetic field and the vertical deflection magnetic field is 0.25 times the distance A from the center of the density distribution to the phosphor screen.

The 20-inch 90-degree deflection tube has conventionally set the deflection magnetic field center at a position of about 290 mm from the phosphor screen, but in the embodiment of the present invention, the horizontal deflection magnetic field center position is about 285 to 280 mm from the phosphor screen,
The vertical deflection magnetic field position was set to about 295 to 300 mm.

That is, the horizontal deflection magnetic field center is approximately 10
It was advanced in the range of ~ 20mm.

The 20-inch 90-degree deflection tube has a screen (phosphor screen) width of about 400 m.
When the horizontal deflection frequency is 15.75 kHz, the deviation amount Δ of the electron beam spot on the screen is 6.6 mm, and the constant C is 0.75, m is 3
The mutual delay time of the signals transferred to the electron gun is about 0.8 μsec
Is.

The color picture tube device configured as described above can obtain an acceptable concentration accuracy of 3 electron beams substantially not only in the center of the screen but also in the periphery of the screen, and the distortion of the core and flare is extremely small, and the entire screen is covered. It was confirmed that it was bright and the resolution was improved.

As another example, a 26-inch type 110-degree deflection tube was used, the other conditions were the same as the above-mentioned example, and the color picture tube device was evaluated for a / A of 0.1 and 0.4. It has better characteristics than the method. a /
The characteristics were further improved when A was 0.2 to 0.3.

In the above description, the electron beam in the non-deflected state has been described as being substantially parallel, but this naturally includes geometrical parallelism, and a fixed delay time is given to the signal to perform color misregistration correction. It is natural that the three electron beams in the color picture tube in the non-deflected state are in a non-concentrated state and do not substantially coincide with each other unless the gist thereof is deviated.
