Abstract

In a cathode ray device there is a deflection yoke with axially distributed copper wire segments with respect to the central axis and along the circular axis, generating a harmful unwanted magnetic field in front of the screen. The present invention provides a magnetic ring arranged between the deflection yoke and the screen, the ring is made of magnetically permeable material, its structure and position are determined according to the coil, and it can align the screen at a selected position in front of said coil. The magnetic field distributed in the shape has the best maximum cancellation, so that the best comprehensive reduction of the induced magnetic field can be obtained through the action of this magnetic shunt.

Description

The present invention relates to a cathode ray tube display device, in particular to a display device capable of reducing the external harmful magnetic radiation reaching the front of the cathode ray tube display screen.

A cathode ray tube usually has an auxiliary coil, that is, a deflection coil, to provide a changing magnetic field to deflect the electron beam for raster scanning. In addition to deflecting the electron beam in the cathode ray tube to realize the display of the cathode ray tube, this magnetic field also spreads out of the tube and even reaches the front of the screen. This external magnetic field is not beneficial, and it is often necessary to try to reduce the magnetic field of this part of the deflection coil.

Field weakening of deflection yokes has been disclosed in the prior art, for example by placing Helmholtz coils on the neck of the saddle-shaped deflection yoke, or radially away from or adjacent to the coil. These coils are coupled to deflection yokes in which an electromotive force is induced to generate a magnetic field which helps to cancel the magnetic field in front of the screen. However, this solution to the problem is costly and cumbersome.

Another solution is to shield around the cathode ray tube to attenuate the magnetic radiation due to eddy currents induced in the shield. But this solution to the problem is also costly and only slightly reduces the magnetic field in front of the screen.

Therefore, there is a need for a device that can reduce the unwanted magnetic field in front of the screen of a cathode ray tube to a permissible level, which device should be cheap and compact.

The cathode ray tube display device of the present invention comprises a screen for viewing; means for generating a beam of charged particles projected from the back to the screen parallel to the central axis of the tube; and a coil having a first coil portion parallel to the axis and having a around the central axis for A second coil section that generates magnetic field components to form an ideal magnetic field to deflect the electron beams but creates a non-ideal magnetic field in front of the screen. In order to reduce the non-ideal magnetic field, the display device further includes a substantially complete ring with high magnetic permeability, which is basically centered on the central axis and arranged close to the coil between the coil and the screen. The ring structure, magnetic permeability and The location is chosen relative to the coil to minimize non-ideal magnetic fields.

The ring can be made of less expensive linear ferrite material, therefore, the cost is very low. And the tested embodiments have shown that, after being used in a cathode ray tube, the harmful radiation in front of the cathode ray tube screen can be greatly weakened.

The above and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be further demonstrated when the preferred embodiments of the present invention are discussed below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 17 shows yet another embodiment having a hexagonal shape.

Figure 1 shows the corresponding part of a complete deflection yoke CRT display unit 10, the assembly 10 comprising a cathode ray tube 12 having a display screen 14 at its front end and upper and lower horizontal deflection coils 16,18. As is well known, deflection yokes 16, 18 generate therebetween a varying magnetic field which acts within cathode ray tube 12 to deflect the electron beam within the tube to scan horizontally across the entire surface of screen 14.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of one turn of the upper and lower deflection yokes 16, 18 shown in FIG. Coil 20 is a single turn of deflection yoke 16 and coil 22 is a single turn of deflection yoke 18 . A current i flows through each coil as shown in the figure to produce an effect on the water A changing magnetic field on a flat deflected electron beam. The useful parts of the coils 20, 22 are the axial parts 24, 26, 28, 30 which generate the main deflection magnetic field.

Circumferentially distributed portions of the coil (coil end portions) 32, 34, 36, 38 serve only to complete the loop of the coils 20, 22. In other words, it is not necessary for the operation of the deflection yokes 16,18. The stray distributed magnetic field in front of the screen 14 (FIG. 1) is mainly produced by the circumferentially distributed parts 32, 34, 36, 38 of the coils. This stray distributed magnetic field is harmful and should be weakened. In fact, the stray distributed magnetic field is the vector sum of the main magnetic field of the deflection coil and the magnetic field at the end of the coil. Due to the larger magnetic field component at the end of the coil, this vector sum will coincide with the polarity of the magnetic field at the end of the coil, and both decay at the same rate with distance.

Figure 2 shows the x, y and z axes with their origin in the plane of the circumferentially distributed coil sections 34, 38 and positioned at the center of the plane. The z-axis coincides with the central axis of cathode ray tube 12 (FIG. 1). Note that the upper and lower halves 20, 22 are symmetrical with respect to the x-z plane and the y-z plane.

As is well known, in practice the upper and lower coils are interconnected so as to generate a dipole field along the z-axis. According to the known coil shape and current, the magnetic field B can be given by:

in J is the current, B represents the direction, and R is the distance to point p on the z-axis.

After the typical line deflection coil shown in Figure 1 is shielded with a high magnetic permeability material such as ferrite, its magnetic field The distribution curve A of B is shown in FIG. 3 . actual magnetic field B is a directional magnetic field, and the curve shown in Fig. 3 only indicates the magnitude of the magnetic field along the z-axis, that is, the intensity. The unit of the abscissa is cm, and the unit of the ordinate is Gauss. This curve represents a typical deflection with current flowing The magnetic field generated by the coil can deflect the 20KV electron beam by 40°.

Curves A and BC in FIG. 3 respectively represent the total magnetic field, the partial magnetic field generated by the axial coil and the partial magnetic field generated by the end coil. Curve A represents the magnitude of the vector sum of the magnetic fields represented by curves B and C, respectively. In a typical uncompensated deflection yoke, the magnetic field is in the range of about 1000 to 2000 nanotesla at a distance of 55 cm from the front end of the deflection yoke. Admittedly, this is not a very large magnetic field, however, according to the present invention, this field can be reduced to an even smaller extent. In the preferred embodiment described below, practical tests have determined that the reduction can be as low as 200 nanotesla at 55 cm.

Fig. 4 shows that according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a metal ring 50 made of linear ferrite and acting as a magnetic shunt is added to the cathode ray tube display device 10 shown in Fig. 1 with a complete deflection yoke.

FIG. 5 shows the corresponding shape and the position of the ferrite ring 50 after the ferrite ring 50 is arranged in front of the coils 20 and 22 shown in FIG. 2 .

As mentioned above, ring 50 is made of linear ferrite. Linear ferrite is a well-known material commonly used in the production of transformers and deflection yokes. According to a preferred embodiment, the ring 50 has a relatively high magnetic permeability [mu] and a high volume resistivity [rho], such as above 1 megohm per cubic centimeter. Such a high value of ρ keeps eddy currents at a minimum. Otherwise, more energy would be required to excite the deflection yoke due to the effect of the load on the deflection yoke. In some embodiments of the invention, eddy currents are kept low and such loading effects are avoided in the preferred embodiment if they are fabricated with metal laminations beyond the usual [mu] values. The cross-sectional area of the ring 50 is large enough to avoid saturation.

Referring to FIG. 6, there is shown the effective μ or μe versus the actual μ or μa for a loop which is the loop 50 placed in front of the coils 20, 22 shown in FIG. It can be seen that when μa is small, μe increases sharply with the increase of μa, and then reaches a certain point. After this point, although μa continues to increase, μe does not increase any more, while maintaining hold a constant. A value of 1000 represents a point, such as the value of μ corresponding to point 52, which corresponds to a typical sized ring made of a linear ferrite material as described herein. If the value of μ is selected as 10, it will be in the slope region 53 of the curve shown in Figure 6. Such a material will be very sensitive to changes in manufacturing tolerances, operating temperatures and other factors. Due to the complexization of these factors, the Its characteristics are extremely unstable. By selecting the magnetic permeability to be in the flat part, i.e., the horizontal region of the curve shown in Fig. 6, the above-mentioned detrimental characteristic changes can be avoided. However, considering the cost of the material, the material with low magnetic permeability should be selected as much as possible under the premise that the required stability can be guaranteed.

Fig. 7 is according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, on the same coordinate axis as Fig. 3, represents a set of curves of the effect of a flat ring on the network magnetic field A as shown in Fig. 3, for example this flat ring is in Fig. 4 The Ring 50. Curve A in FIG. 7 is the same as curve A in FIG. 3 . Curve D in FIG. 7 shows the magnetic field distribution due to the magnetization of the ring 50 . Curve E represents the combined effect of curves A and D.

Fig. 8 shows a set of curves to help us better understand the effect of the magnetic field component D of the end coil on the total magnetic field A. This set of curves includes curve D representing the magnetic field component of the end coil and two other curves to aid in understanding. Curve C is the same as curve C in FIG. 3 . Curve F is a curve representing the total magnetic field distribution resulting from the combination of curves D and C. Note that the abscissa in Figure 8 is the same as that in Figures 3 and 7, and the scale on the ordinate (vertical magnetic field) is enlarged for better clarity.

As mentioned above, the curve D represents the theoretical magnetic field distribution when the ring exists alone. An intrinsic magnetic field is generated due to the magnetizing force of the end coil magnetic field. The presence of the ring weakens the magnetic field of this end coil. The degree of attenuation is controlled by varying variables such as the size of the ring, the gap between the ring and the deflection yoke, as discussed in more detail below. It should also be pointed out that the net-shaped redundant magnetic field located in the area in front of the CRT screen is jointly formed by the end coil magnetic field and the main deflection magnetic field. The task of the present invention is to try to weaken this stray magnetic field. In the case of ideal weakening, after The rectified final object coil magnetic field F is equal in size and opposite to the main deflection magnetic field, and its vector sum is zero. In fact, it is impossible for the measurable stray magnetic field in front of the cathode ray tube screen to decay to zero. But applying the above method of the present invention, this unwanted magnetic field can be reduced to a very small level.

The part to the right of 2.5 cm on the abscissa of Figure 7 is shown in Figure 9 . In order to observe the change of the curve in this area more clearly, the scale of the ordinate is enlarged than that in Figure 7. In order to highlight the changes of curves A and E, only curves A and E in FIG. 7 are drawn in FIG. 9 , and curve D is not drawn. Pay attention to observe that the curve E is very close to the horizontal axis representing that the magnetic field is zero near 9.5cm.

Curve E is a curve after compensation of a cathode ray tube deflection coil with a typical structure. The compensation method is to dispose of a ring 50 made of ferrite at 0.4 cm from the end of the coil. The ring inner diameter is 4 cm, thick 0.2 cm, wide 1cm, magnetic permeability 1000-3000, resistivity ρ≥1MΩ/cm ³ . The width of the ring here refers to the radial width obtained by subtracting the inner diameter from the outer diameter.

Figures 10-12 are curves similar to the one shown in Figure 9, but with a slightly different ring structure than that shown in Figure 9 . In Fig. 10, all parameters of the ring are the same as in Fig. 9 except the distance of the ring from the end of the deflection coil. The curves shown in Figure 10 are for a distance of 0.3 cm from the ring to the end of the deflection yoke. It can be seen that after compensation, the curve E' is a little farther from the horizontal axis, such as at 9.5cm.

Figure 11 shows that other parameters are the same as those in Figure 9, except that the inner radius of the ring is not 4cm, but 5cm. It can be seen that the compensation is severely under-compensated, and the curve E″ falls below the horizontal axis at 9.8 cm, which is caused by a much larger value at this point than the curve E on the horizontal axis.

The curve shown in Figure 12 is the same as Figure 9 in other dimensions, except that the distance from the ring to the deflection coil is increased from 0.4cm to 0.6cm. It can be seen that after a slight reduction in compensation, the curve E"' intersects the horizontal axis at 9.5 cm. This means that the optimum compensation is achieved.

The effect of ring width variation on compensation is not shown in the graph. In general, shortening the width of the ring will make the compensation weaker, while increasing the width of the ring will make the compensation stronger.

Therefore, it can be seen from the above-mentioned Figs. 9-12 how to change these dimensional parameters in the preferred embodiment of the present invention so that the characteristics of the ring can more offset the magnetic field component produced by the deflection yoke winding on the Z-axis in front of the screen to achieve compensation the goal of. Through knowledge of these effects. With the method of the invention it is possible to obtain orthotics with optimum counteracting action.

In the actual test, the M34JDJ00×01 series cathode ray tube display device equipped with a complete deflection yoke manufactured by Panasonic Corporation and the ferrite ring made of ordinary linear ferrite are used. The ring’s μ=1000-3000, ρ> 1MΩ/cm ³ , inner diameter 4 3/8 inch, width 3/8 inch, thickness 1/8 inch. When the ring is placed against the circumferential distribution part of the deflection coil of the cathode ray tube display device, the spacing is as long as the insulation with the deflection coil can be ensured. At this time, the ring can produce a good compensation effect.

It must be pointed out that other configurations of the invention can also be applied, such as another ring with a lip 62 as shown in FIG. 13 . This lip 62 acts to enhance cancellation of unwanted magnetic fields. However, since the machining of the structure shown in FIG. 13 is more complicated, the cost is higher than that of the ring 50 .

Another alternative ring is made of two parts, as shown in Figure 14.

In addition, using the injection molding process, for example, injecting ferrite particles into nylon, a ring with a cross-sectional structure as shown in FIG. 15 can be made. This structure provides an effective compensating magnetic field with orthotic properties. But it also costs a bit more than the simple flat iron oxide ring mentioned above.

Figure 17 shows a hexagonal ring used in conjunction with a hexagonal deflection coil in another embodiment.

Finally, it should be pointed out that the rings in the above-mentioned embodiments can all be made of metal laminated plates with a conventional value of μ, and have a cross-sectional shape as shown in FIG. 16 .

The present invention has been discussed in terms of preferred and other varied embodiments herein, and it should be noted that those skilled in the art can easily modify and change the present invention without departing from the spirit of the present invention as set forth herein. and range. All such changes and modifications are intended to come within the scope of the appended claims.
