Cathode-ray tube apparatus having a reduced leak of magnetic fluxes

Abstract

 In a cathode-ray tube apparatus, a deflection yoke (25) is provided on a funnel of a tube (20) and a pair of closed loop coils are provided on a panel and the funnel of the tube at upper and lower sides, respec­tively. The deflection yoke (25) generates effective magnetic fluxes in the tube (20) and also generates ineffective magnetic fluxes as leakage magnetic fluxes outside of the tube (20). Some of the leakage magnetic fluxes pass through the coils (28) so that induced cur­rents are produced in the coils (28) and induced mag­netic fluxes are produced as compensating magnetic fluxes from the coils (28). Thus, the leakage magnetic fluxes passing through a space in front of the tube are reduced by the compensating magnetic fluxes from the coils (28).

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a cathode-ray tube apparatus wherein the leakage magnetic fluxes extending from the deflection yoke can be reduced.

[0002] Unnecessary radiation, such as electronic waves, is controlled in accordance with the regulations such as VDE (Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker). Generally, the leakage magnetic field of cathode-ray tubes are also controlled in accordance with VDE.

[0003] The recent trend is to limit leakage magnetic fields harmful to human being, particularly in the Northern European countries, in accordance with MPR (SSI) regulations. Subjected to these regulations are magnetic fields of frequencies ranging from 1 KHz to 400 KHz. In the case of cathode-ray tubes, it is required to reduce, to a considerably low level, the intensity of leakage magnetic fluxes which are some of the magnetic fluxes generated by the horizontal deflection coil of the deflection yoke and which do not serve to deflect the electron beams emitted from the electron gun assembly.

[0004] To control the leakage magnetic fluxes emanating from cathode-ray tube apparatuses, it is necessary to attenuate these fluxes in a predetermined. However, the leakage magnetic fluxes must not be attenuated in a manner that the effective magnetic fluxes are influ­enced to degrade the deflection characteristics of the deflection yoke, such as beam convergence and beam landing.

[0005] Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a deflection yoke of popular type for use in a cathode-ray tube, such as a color cathode-ray tube. The deflection yoke com­prises a molded member 1 and a pair of saddle-type main horizontal deflection coils 2 positioned in the member 1, symmetrically to each other with respect to the hori­zontal axis (i.e., X axis). Most of the magnetic fluxes generated by the coils 2, generally known as "effective magnetic fluxes," are confined in the deflection yoke, or within a hollow cylindrical core 3 which surrounds the molded member 1, and effectively serve to deflect electron beams in horizontal direction. The remaining magnetic fluxes, generally known as "leakage magnetic fluxes," radiate from the deflection yoke.

[0006] Fig. 2 is a diagram illustrating the distribution of the effective magnetic fluxes 6 and that of the leak­age magnetic fluxes 7 and 10. As Fig. 2 shows, two ref­erence leakage magnetic fluxes 8a and 8b emanate from the horizontal deflection coils 2 along lines defining an angle of 30 to 40°. As is evident from Fig. 2, the leakage magnetic fluxes 7, which extend from a flange portions 9 of the coils 2 substantially in parallel to the effective magnetic fluxes 6, exist in the region between the reference leakage magnetic fluxes 8a and 8b, whereas the leakage magnetic fluxes 10, which extends in the direction opposite to that of the effective magnetic fluxes 6, exit outside said region.

[0007] Various methods of controlling the leakage magnetic fluxes emanating from the outer periphery of the cathode-ray tube have been devised, one of which is to enclose the entire deflection yoke within a metal case. This method does not suffices to reduce the leakage magnetic fluxes to a desired level. Further it is dis­advantageous in two respects because of the use of the metal case covering the whole deflection yoke. First, a sufficient heat radiation is impossible. Secondly, the metal case is rather an expensive member and inevi­tably increases the manufacturing cost of the cathode-­ray tube apparatus.

[0008] Published Unexamined Japanese Patent Application No. 62-64024 discloses a cathode-ray tube apparatus, in which as is shown in Fig. 3, a pair of auxiliary coils 11 having substantially the same shape as saddle-type main horizontal deflection coils 2 are located symmetri­cally to each other with respect to a core 3, opposing the main horizontal deflection coils, respectively. Part of the current flowing in either main horizontal deflection coil 2 is supplied to the corresponding auxiliary coil 11 in opposite phase, such that the auxiliary coils 11 generate magnetic fluxes (hereinafter referred to as "auxiliary magnetic fluxes") which extend opposite to the main magnetic fluxes emanating from the main coils 2 and which reduce the leakage magnetic fluxes also emanating from the main coils 2.

[0009] It is difficult, however, to control the auxiliary coils 11 accurately enough to reduce those of the leak­age magnetic fluxes which exist in particular positions. Further, since the auxiliary coils 11 are located at the places where less leakage magnetic fluxes exist than other places, the leakage magnetic fluxes are reduced excessively at the rear of the deflection yoke, inevit­ably generating reverse leakage magnetic fluxes. The reverse leakage magnetic fluxes, thus generated in the vicinity of the yoke, are liable to influence the deflection characteristics of the deflection yoke.

[0010] As has been pointed out, the use of a metal case to reduce the leakage magnetic fluxes results in an inadequate heat radiation from the deflection yoke and also in an increase in the manufacturing cost of the cathode-ray tube apparatus, and the provision of auxi­liary coils adversely influences the deflection charac­teristics of the cathode-ray tube apparatus.

[0011] The object of the present invention is to provide a cathode-ray tube apparatus, in which the leakage mag­netic fluxes emanating from the saddle-type main hori­zontal deflection coils of the deflection yoke are greatly reduced without considerably influencing the deflection characteristics of the yoke, such as beam convergence and beam landing.

[0012] According to the present invention, there is pro­vided a cathode-ray tube apparatus which comprises: electron beam emitting means for emitting an electron beam; light ray producing means for producing light rays when irradiated with the electron beam; an envelope having an axis and enclosing the electron beam emitting means and the light ray producing means; deflection magnetic field generating means located outside the envelope, for generating and applying effective magnetic fluxes into the envelope, thereby to deflect the elec­tron beam in a horizontal direction, and also for gener­ating leakage magnetic fluxes extending in a direction different from that of the effective magnetic fluxes; and control means located across the leakage magnetic fluxes, in which a current is induced, and which gener­ates compensating magnetic fluxes from the current thus induced, thereby to control the leakage magnetic fluxes.

[0013] According to the present invention, there is also provided a cathode-ray tube apparatus comprising: an envelope having an axis and comprising a panel having a face plate and a skirt continuous to the face plate, a funnel connected to the skirt of the panel, and a neck extending from the funnel; an electron gun assembly located within the neck, for emitting electron beams; a screen formed on the face plate, for producing light rays when irradiated with the electron beams; horizontal deflection means mounted on the funnel, for generating deflection magnetic fields for deflecting the electron beams in a horizontal direction, along with leakage magnetic filed outside the envelope; and loop-shaped con-ductor means extending along the skirt of the panel and also along the funnel toward the horizontal deflect­ion means, and crossing the leakage magnetic fluxes, whereby a current is induced to generate compensating magnetic fluxes.

[0015] Figs. 4 and 5 schematically illustrate a color cathode-ray tube apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention. The apparatus has an envelope 22 made of a substantially rectangular panel 20 and a funnel 21 formed integrally with the panel 20. The panel 20 has a face plate. A phosphor screen consisting of red, green, and blue phosphor layers is formed on the inner surface of the face plate. A shadow mask is pro­vided within the funnel 21, opposing the phosphor screen. The funnel 21 comprises a neck portion 23 and a cone portion 24. In the neck portion 23, an electron gun assembly for emitting three electron beams is located. A deflection yoke 25 is wrapped around the junction of the portions 23 and 24 in order to deflect the three electron beams emitted from the electron gun assembly.

[0016] The deflection yoke 25 comprises a molded hollow cylinder 26, a rear flange 27A integrally formed with the cylinder 26, a front flange 27B also integrally formed with the cylinder 26, a pair of saddle-type main horizontal deflection coils (not shown), and a pair of troidle-type vertical deflection coils (not shown, either). The main horizontal deflection coils are located within the hollow cylinder 26 and arranged symmetrically with respect to a horizontal plane includ­ing the axis of the cylinder 26. On the other hand, the vertical deflection coils are mounted on the cylinder 26 and arranged symmetrically with respect to said plane.

[0017] The color cathode-ray tube further comprises two loop-like closed compensating coils 28 mounted on the upper and lower sides of the cone portion 25, respec­tively. Either coil 28 consists of at least one turn of wire, and is positioned such that its rear end rests on the front flange 27A, and its front end surrounds a pair of lugs 30 attached to the left and right ends of the upper or lower side, along with an explosion-proof band 29.

[0018] The closed compensating coils 28 are located in the field of leakage magnetic fluxes emanating from the main horizontal deflection coils. More specifically, as is shown in Fig. 6, both coils 28 are located outside the region which lies between curves 8a and 8b. In this region, leakage magnetic fluxes 7 extend substantially parallel to the effective magnetic fluxes 6 generated by the main horizontal deflection coils. Outside the region, other leakage magnetic fluxes 10 extend from the front flange 27A in the direction opposite to the direc­tion of the effective magnetic fluxes 6. Hence, a cur­rent is induced in either closed compensating coil 28, whereby the coil 28 generates magnetic fluxes 32. The magnetic fluxes 32 are generated as the leakage magnetic fluxes 7 in the region M near the coil 28. In the region N extending from point A on the axis of the enve­lope 22, farther away from the yoke 25 than the region M, the magnetic fluxes 32 cancel out the leakage mag­netic fluxes 7 emanating from the periphery of the color cathode-ray tube apparatus. The point A is 10 to 20 cm in front of the outer surface of the panel 20, depending on the size of the envelope 22, the configuration of the yoke 25, and the intensity of the magnetic fluxes 32.

[0019] The magnetic fluxes 32 generated by the closed com­pensating coils 28 serve to reduce not only the leakage magnetic fluxes 7 extending in front of the color cathode-ray tube apparatus, but also the leakage mag­netic fluxes 7 emanating from the periphery of the apparatus, as will be understood from Figs. 7A, 7B, and 7C showing the results of the experiment conducted by the inventors hereof.

[0020] In the experiment, the inventors tested a color cathode-ray tube apparatus of the type shown in Figs. 4 and 5 and also a color cathode-ray tube apparatus iden­tical to the apparatus of Figs. 4 and 5, but having no closed compensating coils, and measured the density nT of the leakage magnetic fluxes on the surface of a hollow sphere having a 65-cm radius and enclosing the apparatus, as is specified in the MRP Standards. Fig. 7A represents the relationship between the density nT and the position on the sphere surface (in degree), observed in either apparatus when the tangents to curves 8a and 8b are at an elevation angle of 0° to the axis of the color cathode-ray tube apparatus. Fig. 7B illus­trates the density-position relationship observed in either apparatus when the tangents to curves 8a and 8b are inclined at an elevation angle of 22.5° to the axis of the cathode-ray tube apparatus. Fig. 7C shows the density-position relationship observed in either appara­tus when the tangents to curves 8a and 8b are inclined at an elevation angle of 45.0°. In these figures, the solid-line curve indicates the density-position rela­tionship observed in the conventional color cathode-ray tube apparatus, and the broken-line curve presents the the relationship observed in the color cathode-ray tube of the present invention.

[0021] As is evident from the experimental results shown in Figs. 7A, 7B, and 7C, the color cathode-ray tube apparatus of this invention, which has closed compensat­ing coils, reduced leakage magnetic fluxes are reduced 50 to 60% more than the conventional color cathode-ray tube apparatus which has no closed compensating coils, and distributed leakage magnetic fluxes almost uniformly on the entire surface of the 65-cm radius sphere. In the apparatus of the invention, the leakage magnetic fluxes were reduced so much that the remaining leakage magnetic fluxes scarcely degraded the deflection charac­teristic such as beam convergence or the beam landing.

[0022] Another embodiment of the invention will now be described, with reference to Figs. 8A and 8B and Fig. 9, in which the same numerals as those found in Figs. 4, 5, and 6 are used, designating the same components and mag­netic fluxes.

[0023] The color cathode-ray tube apparatus shown in Figs. 8A and 8B is characterized by the use of two loop-­shaped, closed compensating coils 28, either having a rear portion extending along the front flange 27A of the corresponding main horizontal deflection coil of a deflection yoke 25. Since the closed compensating coils 28 are so arranged, the intensity of the leakage mag­netic fluxes 10 emanating from the front flange 27A is inversely proportional to the distance between them and the wires 36 located in the front flange 27, as can be understood from Fig. 9. Obviously, the leakage magnetic fluxes 10 crossing the closed compensating coils 28 gain a maximum intensity. Hence, a great current is induced in the coils 28, and the coils 28 generates compensating magnetic fluxes which are intense enough to reduce the leakage magnetic fluxes 10 sufficiently.

[0024] As is shown in Figs. 8A and 8B, the front portion of either closed compensating coil 28 extends on both the left and right sides of the panel 20, optimally balancing the intensities of the two compensating mag­netic fields existing in front of, and at the back of, the color cathode-ray tube apparatus, respectively. The intensity of either magnetic field is adjusted by the length of that portion of either coil 28 which extends along the front flange 27A and/or the area defined by the closed compensating coil 28. These compensating magnetic fields function, reliably reducing the changes dB/dt in leakage magnetic fluxes, to 15 mT/s or less.

[0025] Figs. 10A and 10B illustrate another color cathode-­ray tube apparatus according to the invention. As com­parison of Figs. 8A and 8B, on the one hand, and Figs. 10A and 10B, on the other, may reveal, this apparatus is identical to the color cathode-ray tube apparatus shown in Figs. 8A and 8B, except that the rear portion of either closed compensating coil 28 is a double loop 38. According to the invention, the rear portion of the coil 28 can consist of more than two turns. Since the leak­age magnetic fluxes emanating from the front flange 27A cross the double loop 38, a great current is induced in the large loop portion 39 of the coil 28. As a result of this, the coils 28 generate compensating magnetic fields which are more intense than those generated in the apparatus shown in Figs. 8A and 8B.

[0026] Figs. 11A and 11b illustrate still another color cathode-ray tube apparatus according to the present invention. This apparatus is identical to that one shown in Figs. 10A and 10B, except that either closed compensating coil 28 has two small loops 38 which are wound around the front flange 27A and the rear flange 27B, respectively. Since the leakage magnetic fluxes emanating from the front flange 27A cross the first small loop 30, and also those emanating from the rear flange 27B cross the second small loop 38, a greater current is induced in the large loop portion 39 of the coil 28 than in the apparatus illustrated in Figs. 10A and 10B. Hence, the coils 28 generate compensating mag­netic fields which are more intense than those generated in the apparatus shown in Figs. 10A and 10B.

[0027] Figs. 12A and 12B also show a color cathode-ray tube apparatus according to the present invention. This apparatus is designed based on the fact that in general, closed compensating coils, if mounted on the cone portion of the funnel of a color cathode-ray tube apparatus, are likely to generate a compensating magnetic field which is less intense in front of the apparatus than at the back of the apparatus. As comparison of Figs. 8A and 8B, on the one hand, and Figs. 12A and 12B, on the other, may reveal, this color cathode-ray tube apparatus is identical to the color cathode-ray tube apparatus shown in Figs. 8A and 8B, except that either closed compensating coil 28 have a small loop 38 located on the top (bottom) of the panel 20. Since both small loops 38 are near the front of the apparatus, the com­pensating magnetic field the coils 28 is as intense in front of the apparatus as at the back of the apparatus.

[0028] Figs. 13A and 13B illustrates another color cathode-ray tube apparatus according to the invention which has a pair of closed compensating coils 28. Either closed compensating coil 28 comprises two loops, the first loop mounted on the top (bottom) of a panel 20, and the second loop located in front of the front flange 27A of a deflection yoke 25. The coil 28 gener­ates a compensating magnetic field which is intense, particularly in front of the apparatus.

[0029] Fig. 14A and 14B show still another color cathode-­ray tube apparatus according to the present invention. As comparison of Figs. 8A and 8B, on the one hand, and Figs. 14A and 14B, on the other, may reveal, this color cathode-ray tube apparatus is identical to the cathode-­ray tube apparatus shown in Figs. 8A and 8B, except that a pair or auxiliary coils 41A are mounted on the deflection yoke 25, and a horizontal-deflection signal is supplied to either auxiliary coil 41A from a horizon­tal deflection signal generator 50. This color cathode-­ray tube apparatus is designed based on the two facts. First, the compensating magnetic field, which a closed compensating coil generates from the current induced in the coil from the leakage magnetic fluxes crossing the coil, has but a limited intensity even if the coil has a complex shape to extend across more leakage magnetic fluxes, just because the more complex the coil, the higher its resistance or inductance. Secondly, the more simple the coil, the better, in view of the manufacturing cost of the color cathode-ray tube apparatus.

[0030] Since the auxiliary coils 141A are located at the rear of the closed compensating coils 28 as is shown in Figs. 14A and 14B, they generate magnetic fluxes 42 which extend in the same direction as the main magnetic fluxes generated by the main horizontal deflection coils as is illustrated in Fig. 15. These magnetic fluxes 42 also extend in the same direction as the compensating magnetic fluxes 37 emanating from the coils 28 in front of, and at the back of, the apparatus, thus cooperating with the magnetic fluxes 37 to cancel out the leakage magnetic fluxes 7. Further, the magnetic fluxes 41 intensify the compensating magnetic fields generated by the coils 28 since they extend in the same direction as the leakage magnetic fluxes 7 and cross the closed com­pensating coils 28.

[0031] Fig. 16A and 16B show still another color cathode-­ray tube apparatus according to the present invention. As comparison of Figs. 8A and 8B, on the one hand, and Figs. 14A and 14B, on the other, may reveal, this cathode-ray tube apparatus is identical to the apparatus shown in Figs. 8A and 8B, except that a pair of auxil­iary coils 41B are mounted on the top and bottom of the panel 20, respectively. This apparatus attains advan­tages similar to those of the apparatus shown in Figs. 14A and 14B.

[0032] Figs. 17A and 17B illustrates another color cathode-ray tube apparatus, which is a combination of the apparatus shown in Figs. 14A and 14B and the appara­tus shown in Figs. 16A and 16B. In other words, a pair of rear auxiliary coils 41A are mounted on the deflection yoke 25, and a pair of front auxiliary coils 41B are mounted on the top and bottom of the panel 20. A horizontal deflection signal may be supplied from the signal generator 50 to the from auxiliary coils 41B, causing the coils 41B to generate compensating magnetic field for canceling the leakage magnetic fluxes. The inductive magnetic fluxes which the coils 28 generate, and the compensating magnetic fluxes which the coils 41A and 41B generate, work together, reliably reducing the the leakage magnetic fluxes. For the functional details of the two pairs of auxiliary coils 41A and 41B, refer to U.S. Patent Application Serial No. (not yet assigned) filed June 8, 1990, for the invention entitled "Cathode Ray Tube Apparatus Intended to Reduce Magnetic Fluxes Leaked Outside the Apparatus"; inventors: Masahiro Yokota, Hideo Mori, and Kiyoshi Oyama (Attorney's Ref: DSL/M.76070/YOKOTA) [European Patent Application No. 90110822.5 filed June 7, 1990 for the invention entitled "Cathode Ray Tube Apparatus Intended to Reduce Magnetic Fluxes Leaked Outside the Apparatus"; inventors: Masahiro Yokota, Hideo Mori, and Kiyoshi Oyama].

[0033] Figs. 18A and 18B illustrates another color cathode-ray tube apparatus according to the present invention. As comparison of Figs. 14A and 14B, on the one hand, and Figs. 18A and 18B, on the other, may reveal, this color cathode-ray tube apparatus is identi­cal to the apparatus shown in Figs. 14A and 14B, except that either closed compensating coil 28 extends rearward beyond the front flange 27A, and is wrapped around the corresponding auxiliary coil 41. The magnetic fluxes emanating from both auxiliary coils 41 extend in the direction opposite to that shown in Fig. 15, but inten­sify the the compensating magnetic fields generated by the closed compensating coils 28. Hence, the auxiliary coils 41 not only intensify the compensating magnetic fluxes existing in front of the apparatus, but also diminish the over intensification of the compensating magnetic fluxes existing at the back of the apparatus.

[0034] The present is not limited to the embodiments described above, wherein the closed compensating coils are not electrically connected to each other, and spaced apart one above the other. Rather, the invention can be applied to, for example, a color cathode-ray tube appa­ratus in which a pair of closed compensating coils are electrically connected as is indicated by the broken lines in Figs. 8A and 8B, thus forming a single closed loop.

[0035] All embodiments described above are color cathode-­ray tube apparatuses. Needless to say, the present invention can be applied to cathode-ray tubes of any other types.

[0036] As has been described, a cathode-ray tube apparatus according to the present invention has a pair of closed compensating coils located, such that either has its part located near the front of the corresponding main horizontal deflection coil of a saddle-type deflection yoke and in the region in which leakage magnetic fluxes emanating from the front flange of the main horizontal deflection coil in the direction opposite to that of the main magnetic fluxes emanating from the main horizontal deflection coil. Hence, a current is induced in either closed compensating coil, from the leakage magnetic fluxes, and the closed compensating coil generates com­pensating magnetic fluxes. The compensating magnetic fluxes reduces the leakage magnetic fluxes emanating from the periphery of the apparatus, uniformly in a space around the apparatus, without degrading the beam-­deflecting characteristics of the cathode-ray tube apparatus.
