Definitions
- Display device having a flat display panel
- the invention relates to a display device having a cathode ray tube which comprises an evacuated envelope having a substantially flat rectangular display panel having a long axis and a short axis the inside surface of which is formed with a phosphor screen, a color selection electrode being arranged adjacent the phosphor screen, the envelope accommodating a means for generating a plurality of electron beams, the display device further comprising means for deflecting the electron beams across the phosphor screen.
- Display devices of the type mentioned in the opening paragraph are known. Such display devices are used, inter alia, in television receivers and computer monitors.
- the invention also relates to a cathode ray tube for use in a display device of the type described in the opening paragraph.
- the invention further relates to a display panel for use in a cathode ray tube of the type described in the opening paragraph.
- Known cathode ray tubes comprise an evacuated envelope having a display panel the inside of which is provided with a phosphor screen. A color selection electrode is arranged adjacent the phosphor screen.
- the envelope comprises means for generating electron beams. The electron beams excite phosphors of the phosphor screen. In operation, the electron beams are deflected across the phosphor screen, thereby generating images.
- the quality of the image produced is governed in a complex manner by the shape of the display panel. In this connection, an important aspect is raster distortion. Raster distortion reduces picture quality. Raster distortion is to be understood to mean herein a picture error which causes straight lines to be reproduced as curved lines.
- DUs A general problem for the designers of the deflection means, or deflection units: DUs, is the limited penetration depth of the higher-order multipoles of the magnetic field.
- This DU will give a strongly pincushion-shaped raster geometry in EW as well as in NS direction.
- the EW pincushion is corrected by EW modulation of the line current as a function of the frame current (EW correction ), such that the raster shape at outmost East and outmost West is straight.
- EW correction EW modulation of the line current as a function of the frame current
- EW inner pincushion error that is hard to get rid of by adaptation of the coil design in the DU.
- the NS pincushion distortion is corrected by means of six-pole modulation in the coils and static NS magnets. Also for NS, when the raster is made straight in North and South, there remains a similar problem: pincushion errors at NS (NS inner pincushion) as this six-pole and the multipoles, due to the magnets, cannot penetrate deep enough into the tube to act sufficiently on the 5 NS raster.
- cathode ray tube of the type set forth in the opening paragraph, which cathode ray tube comprises a substantially flat display panel having an improved picture quality, in particular as regards inner pincushion.
- the cathode ray tube according to the invention is characterized in that the inside surface of the display panel is curved such that the sagittal height at the corners is 5-12 mm larger than the sagittal height at the ends of the long axis, the inner pincushion raster distortion being smaller than 2 mm.
- a degree of freedom not really exploited before is the shape of the inner surface of the display panel.
- curved (i.e. non-real flat) screens where the outside panel more-or-less follows the inner screen panel, it was not feasible to experiment with alternative shapes of the inner panel surfaces due to unacceptable reflections of ambient light when the tube is switched off.
- Real Flat tubes For display tubes where the outside screen is flat, in particular so-called Real Flat tubes, however, one has to deal only with much less disturbing second reflections. If use is made of a spherically curved inner panel surface with a certain predetermined glass wedge in the corner, then there is the freedom to make the inner surface more curved along the vertical axis and/or more curved along the horizontal axis.
- the inside surface of the display panel is curved such that the sagittal height at the corners is 5-12 mm larger than the sagittal height at the ends of the long axis. It is the gist of the invention that, if during the design of a display tube for a display device having a given deflection unit the above rule is met, it is possible to make the inner pincushion raster distortion smaller than 2 mm. It has been found that inner pincushion raster distortions smaller than 2 mm do not disturb the viewing impression (perception).
- the inner pincushion raster distortion (sometimes termed "East- West innerpin", or “EW innerpin") smaller than 1.5 mm, and even equal to or smaller than 1 mm.
- EW innerpin inner pincushion raster distortion
- the relative sagittal height RSH preferably lies between 0.70 and 0.95, the relative sagittal height being the quotient of the sagittal height at the end of the diagonal across the inner panel surface and the sum of the sagittal heights at the ends of the long axis and at the end of the short axis.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a cathode ray tube
- Fig. 2 is a partly perspective view of the inner surface of a display panel, showing how the sagittal heights are defined
- Figs. 3 A and 3B are views of a display panel showing reference points as used in the art
- Figs. 4 and 5 are diagrams showing the dependence of inner pincushion distortion on the sagittal height in the corners with respect to that in the North.
- a cathode ray tube in this example color display tube 1 , comprises an evacuated envelope 2 which includes a display panel 3, a cone portion 4 and a neck 5.
- an electron gun 6 for generating three electron beams 7, 8 and 9 in one plane, the in-line plane, in this case the plane of the drawing.
- a display screen 10 is situated on the inside surface 15 of the display panel 3. Said display screen 10 comprises a large number of phosphor elements luminescing in red, green and blue.
- the electron beams 7, 8 and 9 are deflected so as to scan the display screen 10 by means of deflection unit 11 and pass through a color selection electrode 12 (which is arranged in front of the display window 3 and) which in this case is formed by a thin shadow mask plate having apertures 13.
- the color selection electrode is suspended in the display window by means of suspension means 14.
- the three electron beams 7, 8 and 9 pass through the apertures 13 of the color selection electrode at a small angle and, consequently, each electron beam impinges on phosphor elements of only one color.
- Fig. 2 is a partly perspective view of the inner surface of a display panel.
- x max and y max are, respectively, the x and the y coordinate of a point at the end of the long and the short axis.
- the z-axis extends perpendicularly to the tangent plane in the center of the surface of the display window and is indicated in the Figure.
- the short axis is referred to as the y-axis
- the long axis is referred to as the x-axis.
- Said axes extend perpendicularly to each other and to the z-axis. Both the inside surface and the outside surface can be described in such a manner.
- the sagittal height z max in the corners is indicated by line segment 21 and the sagittal height at the end of the long axis z max (x max ,0) and the sagittal height at the end of the short axis z raax (0,y ma ⁇ ) by line segments 22 and 23, respectively.
- the ends of the short and the long axes are given by the extreme points of the above-described raster in the x-direction and the y-direction, respectively.
- the sagittal height in the corners was 7.5 mm larger than the sagittal height at the ends of the long axis.
- FIG. 3 A schematically shows a view of a display panel on which reference points as used in the art are indicated.
- the (rectangular) display panel has a long axis x and a short axis y.
- Fig. 3B shows a simplified version of Fig. 3 A on which only the Vz East- West points K, L, M, N are indicated. Two raster lines are shown which should go through K, L, M, N, but they don't: this is a case of East- West inner pincushion distortion. A distortion ⁇ is measured at e.g. L in mm.
- Fig. 4 shows in diagrammatic form panel simulation data relating to a 24 inch
- WSRF display panel Along the horizontal axis the sagittal height in the comers, SHc is presented in mm, along the vertical axis the difference between the sagittal height in the comers, SHc, and the sagittal height in North, SHN, is presented in mm.
- the diagram shows diagonal lines of constant raster inner pincushion distortion (in mm). This simulation is for a constant difference of 7 mm between the sagittal height in the comers and the sagittal height in East.
- FIG. 5 A similar diagram is presented in Fig. 5 for a 36 inch WSRF tube. This simulation is for a constant difference of 9 mm between the sagittal height in the comers and the sagittal height in East.
- the invention relates to a CRT having an improved raster geometry performance especially in M-EW (EW inner pincushion) which is achieved by means of a proper choice of the inner panel shape.
- the inner panel surface of the inventive CRT has been given more curvature along the vertical (NS) and/or the horizontal (EW) axis than usual for the conventional almost spherical panels.
- the sagittal height in the comers is 5-12 mm larger than that at the ends of the long axis, the inner pincushion error being smaller than 2 mm.
- the invention is of particular interest for RF tubes, because the flat outer surface of the panel allows more freedom for the inner shape of the panel.
- the invention is in particular applicable to 16:9 aspect ratio Real Flat display tubes, but can also be applied in 4:3 aspect ratio Real Flat display tubes.
