2 Claims, 3 Drawing Figures COLOUR PICTURE TUBE INCLUDING SHADOW MASK HAVING SELF-COMPENSATION FUNCTION FOR- THERMAL STRESS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a colour picture tube and more particularly to the improvements of the colour selection electrode of a colour picture tube.
In a colour picture tube wherein a shadow mask is used as the colour selection electrode, electron beams emitted from an electron gun assembly are caused to impinge upon a fluorescent screen comprising a plurality of trios of phosphor dots for three colours through the shadow mask assembly mounted in front of the fluorescent screen, thereby reproducing a picture image thereon.
Generally, the shadow mask assembly comprises a shadow mask with a plurality of small perforations and a supporting frame welded to the periphery of the shadow mask and the shadow mask assembly is supported in an evacuated envelope of the colour picture tube through a plurality of leaf springs. Usually the supporting frame is welded to the periphery of the shadow mask with a suitable spacing therebetween. However, since the shadow mask is made of an extremely thin metal sheet having a thickness of about 0.2mm which is provided with a plurality of small perforations, maldistribution of a small stress will cause deformation of the shadow mask.
Even when the stress is prevented at the time of welding since the frame is welded to the shadow mask at spaced apart pointsstress will be created in the shadow mask due to various heat treatments performed at various fabrication steps of the colour picture tube and the heat generated by the collision of the electron beams during the use and test of the completed tube. The central portion of the shadow mask is provided with a plurality of small perforations whereas the peripheral portion is not perforated so that these two portions have different mechanical strength with the result that the heat expansion of the shadow mask caused by the collision of the electron beams will cause abnormal deformation of the interface between the central and the peripheral portions. Such a deformation is enhanced by the facts that the peripheral portion is secured to the frame having a large heat capacity and that the electron beams are shielded by the mask frame and an electron shield secured thereto.
The same problem also occurs in the slit type colour selection electrode.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION colour picture tube including an improved colour selection electrode which will not be deformed by the heat generated during the fabrication and use of the colour picture tube.
A further object of this invention is to provide a colour picture tube including an improved colour selection electrode which is constructed to prevent abnormal local deformation caused by thermal expansion of the colour selectionelectrode.
According to this invention there is provided a colour picture tube comprising a colour selection electrode assembly including an operating portion adapted to transmit an electron beam, a peripheral portion surrounding the operating portion, and a supporting frame welded to the peripheral portion, characterized in that a cushion zone is provided for the peripheral portion for absorbing and alleviating the stress created therein due to heat.
The cushion zone is formed by providing a plurality of small perforations, blind openings or grooves in the peripheral portion or decreasing the thickness thereof.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In the accompanying drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a shadow mask assem bly embodying the invention and FIGS. 2 and 3 show partial sectional views of modified shadow masks.
DESCRIPTlON OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS tions 21 for transmitting electron beams, whereas the peripheral portion 23 surrounding the central portion is not perforated. The peripheral side 24 is provided with cushion zones 26 formed with small perforations 25. While in the illustrated example small perforations are formed throughout the entire surface of the peripheral side 24, it should be understood that such perforations may be formed in areas around equally spaced apart spot welds which interconnect the side 24 to a supporting frame 30.
The result of experiment shows that in a shadow mask of thin metal sheet having a thickness of about 0.15mm wherein the central portion thereof is provided with a plurality of small perforations at a pitch of about 0.50, 0.60 or 0.70mm, a diameter of from 0.15 to 0.45mm of the small perforations 25 in the cushion zones 26 and a density of from 10 to of the perforations 25 give satisfactory results.
It will be clear that the configuration and size of the small perforations 25 in the cushion zones 26 may be decided properly in design in accordance with the number of spot welds and the like. In other words, the small perforations are adapted merely to form cushion zones 26 for stress acting between the operating portion 22 of the shadow mask 20 having perforations 21 and the spot-welded portions of the peripheral side 24. From the standpoint of manufacturing it is advantageous to make equal the diameters of the perforations 21 in the I operating portion 22 and the perforations 25 in the side 24.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 since a rigid peripheral portion 23 is interposed between the central portion 22 and the peripheral side 24 of the shadow mask it is impossible to efficiently absorb or alleviate the stress caused by the expansion and contraction of the shadow mask and/or frame 30. This problem can be solved by a modified embodiment shown in FIG. 2 wherein the shadow mask is constructed to have sub stantially uniform mechanical strength throughout the entire surface thereof.
In FIG. 2, a cushion zone 26 is formed in both'peripheral portion 23 and the peripheral side 24 of the shadow mask 20. The cushion zone is provided with a plurality of small blind openings 28, preferably having the same diameter as the perforations 21 at the central portion 22. Provision of a plurality of small blind openings 28 decreases the effective thickness of the peripheral portion 23 and the side 24, thus assuring substantially uniform mechanical strength over the entire area of the shadow mask. With this modification, the shadow mask 20 expands in the direction of the passage 40 of the electron beam as shown by dotted lines. For this reason, the shadow mask 20, especially the central portion thereof is freed from any abnormal deformation caused by thermal expansion thereby preventing the degradation of the colour purity and colour shading of the colour picture tube. In FIG. 2, numeral 42 indicates a panel of the envelope of the tube.
In another modification shown in FIG. 3, the thickness of the pheripheral portion 23 and the side of a shadow mask is decreased to form a cushion zone which has the same effect as the embodiment shown in FIG. 2. The dot and dash lines show the original thickness of the cushion zone.
Although in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the cushion zone 26 is formed by providing a plurality of small blind holes or by decreasing the thickness of the cushion zone, grooves may be provided for this zone provided that the uniform mechanical strength of the shadow mask can be assured.
Although FIGS. 2 and 3 show one example where the outer side (so-called panel side) of the shadow mask is cut away, it should be understood that the invention is also applicable to formation of the cushion zones by eliminating the inner side of the shadow mask.
Although the invention has been described in terms of some preferred embodiments thereof it will be clear that many changes and modifications will be obvious to one skilled in the art within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. Further, it should be understood that the invention is also applicable to other types of the colour selection electrode. for example of the slit type or zig-zag type.
