Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a color cathode ray tube as defined in the preamble portion of claim 1.
  • a color cathode ray tube comprises an envelope including a substantially rectangular panel provided with a skirt portion at the periphery of the panel, and a funnel.
  • a phosphor screen On the inner surface of the panel is formed a phosphor screen which includes a number of phosphor layers of three colors which radiate in red, blue, and green.
  • an electron gun In the neck of the funnel is arranged an electron gun for emitting electron beams toward the phosphor screen.
  • a shadow mask is provided and opposed to the phosphor screen with a predetermined distance maintained therebetween.
  • electron beams emitted from the electron gun are deflected by a deflector and subjected to selection by the shadow mask, so that the phosphor screen is scanned horizontally and vertically by the electron beams to display a color image.
  • the shadow mask has a substantially rectangular mask body having a surface opposed to the phosphor screen where a number of electron beam apertures are formed, and a rectangular mask frame welded to the periphery of the mask body. Plate-like frame holders are welded to the side walls of the mask frame. The shadow mask is supported on the inside of the panel by engaging the frame holders with stud pins fixed to the skirt portion of the panel.
  • the mask body is welded to the mask frame at each corner and at one or plural points in the area of the center of each side edge.
  • the shadow mask As a support structure for supporting the shadow mask on the panel, there has been a structure in which the shadow mask is supported by a band-like frame holder welded to the substantial center of each side wall.
  • the mask body and the mask frame are generally welded to each other, at positions which are slightly distant from engaging points of stud pins of the frame holder, avoiding welding points between the mask frame and the mask holder.
  • miss landing is caused mainly by the mask body heated and thermally expanded, in an early stage of operation after the color cathode ray tube is started.
  • miss landing of electron beams is caused by the mask frame or the frame holder thermally expanded due to heat transferred from the mask body during operation of the color cathode ray tube for a long time (i.e., long-term purity drift).
  • a mask body made of invar (iron-nickel alloy) having a low thermal expansion coefficient is used in place of a mask body made of soft steel, in order to reduce the miss landing of electron beams caused by the thermal expansion of the shadow mask.
  • the thermal expansion of the mask body itself can be reduced to be small.
  • a heated mask body is thermally expanded symmetrically in the radial direction and landing of electron beams is therefore not misregistered in asymmetric directions such as vertical, lateral, and rotational directions.
  • misregistration in asymmetric directions is estimated to occur depending on the structure of installing the mask frame and the support structure of the shadow mask with respect to the mask body.
  • the thermal expansion of the mask body is as small as 1/10 of that of the mask frame. Therefore, if the shadow mask is thermally expanded, the mask body is tensioned outwardly. However, the thermal expansion of the mask frame is absorbed by the skirt portion of the mask body, and does not substantially make effects on the effective portion of the mask body.
  • peripheral portions of the short side edges of the mask body are shifted in the vertical direction.
  • peripheral portions of the long edges of the mask body are shifted in the lateral direction (or X-axis direction) due to the thermal expansion of the mask frame. Because of these shifts in both the vertical and lateral directions, the peripheral portions of the mask body are shifted, as a whole, in the rotational direction.
  • the present invention has been made in view of the problems described above and its object is to provide a color cathode ray tube which is improved in color purity by reducing miss landing of electron beams on a phosphor layer, caused by thermal expansion of a mask frame and frame holders.
  • a color cathode ray tube according to the present invention comprises the features of claim 1. Preferred embodiments of the invention are defined in the sub-claims.
  • LF/LH (0.75 to 1.00) ⁇ ⁇ H/ ⁇ F
  • ⁇ F is a thermal expansion coefficient of the mask frame
  • ⁇ H is a thermal expansion coefficient of each of the mask holders
  • LF is a distance from the welding position between the mask frame and the mask holder to the welding position between the mask frame and the mask body in each of the long and short side walls of the mask frame
  • LH is a distance from each of welding positions between the mask holders and the mask frame to a center axis of a corresponding one of the stud pin.
  • the welding positions between the long side edges of the mask body and the long side walls of the mask frame are shifted from the short axis, and the welding positions between the short side edges of the mask body and the short side walls of the mask frame are shifted from the long axis.
  • the lengths in both sides of a welding position on each side wall of the mask frame are different from the lengths in both sides of a welding position on each edge of the mask body.
  • the amount of deformation caused by the thermal expansion differs between each of the welding positions on the mask frame and each of the welding positions on the mask body.
  • the mask body since the mask body has a smaller thermal expansion coefficient in comparison with the mask frame, the mask body is deformed so as to rotate or move in the diagonal direction, with respect to centers consisting of the welding positions with the mask frame, when the mask frame and the mask holder are thermal expanded.
  • the direction of the movement By arranging the direction of the movement to be the direction in which the movement of the mask frame is cancelled by operation of the mask holder, the mask body can substantially be maintained at a fixed position and landing misregistration can be reduced, so that color purity can be improved.
  • the welding position between the mask frame and each edge of the mask body is properly shifted to the side opposite to the welding position between the mask frame and a corresponding mask holder or is properly shifted to the side of the welding position between the mask frame and a corresponding mask holder, with respect to the long axis or the short axis. Therefore, a landing change peculiar to the case of supporting the shadow mask by mask holders attached on the side walls of the mask frame can be cancelled and a color cathode ray tube with improved color purity can be obtained.

  • the funnel 24 has an end portion forming a cylindrical neck 23 and is joined to the skirt portion.
  • a phosphor screen 25 consisting of a plurality of phosphor layers which respectively emit light in red, green, and blue, and light absorbing layers located between the phosphor layers.
  • a shadow mask 26 is provided to oppose the phosphor screen 25, with a predetermined distance maintained from the phosphor screen.
  • An electron gun 29 which emits electron beams 28B, 28G, and 28R toward the phosphor screen 25 is provided in the neck 23 of the funnel 24.
  • a deflection yoke 30 is mounted on the outer circumference of the funnel 24.
  • the color cathode ray tube displays a color image by deflecting the electron beams 28B, 28G, and 28R by means of a magnetic field generated from the deflector 30 to scan horizontally and vertically the phosphor screen 25 through the shadow mask 26.
  • the shadow mask 26 comprises a substantially rectangular mask body 34 and a rectangular mask frame 36 on which the mask body is equipped.
  • the mask body 34 includes an effective surface 32 and a skirt portion 33 provided at the periphery of the effective surface 32.
  • the effective surface 32 is formed of a curved surface opposing the phosphor screen 25 and is provided with a number of electron beam passage apertures.
  • the mask frame 36 has a side wall 35 welded to the skirt portion 33 of the mask body 34 and is formed to have an L-shaped cross-section.
  • the mask body 34 is formed of a material having a low thermal expansion coefficient, such as invar or the like, and the mask frame 36 is made of an iron material such as a cold-rolled steel plate.
  • the mask body 34 has a center C through which the tube axis Z of the color cathode ray tube passes, and a horizontal axis (long axis) X and a vertical axis (short axis) Y which pass through the center C and are perpendicular to each other.
  • the skirt portion 33 has a pair of long side edges 16a parallel to the horizontal axis X and a pair of short side edges parallel to the vertical axis Y.
  • the mask frame 36 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape having a pair of long side walls 17a parallel to the horizontal axis X and a pair of short side walls 17b parallel to the vertical axis Y.
  • the shadow mask 26 is supported on the panel 22 by an on-edge-four-pin method.
  • the panel 22 has a horizontal axis X and a vertical axis Y respectively corresponding to the horizontal and vertical axes of the shadow panel 22, and the skirt portion 21 has a pair of long side walls parallel to the horizontal axis and a pair of short side walls parallel to the horizontal axis.
  • a stud pin 38 is fixed on an intermediate portion of each of the long and short side walls, and is positioned on the horizontal X or the vertical axis Y.
  • the mask holders 39 are respectively welded to the long side walls 17a and short side walls 17b, and the mask holders are engaged with corresponding stud pins 38, thereby supporting the shadow mask 26 on the panel 22.
  • Each mask holder 39 is formed by bending an elongated rectangular plate and has a fixed portion 18a welded to the side wall of the mask frame 36, an engagement portion 18b engaged with the corresponding stud pin 38, and a slanting portion 18c extending and slanting between the fixed portion 18a and the engagement portion 18b.
  • Each mask holder 39 extends along the side wall of the mask frame 36.
  • each frame holders 39 are provided such that the holders 39 are positioned to be rotation-symmetrical to each other with respect to the center C of the mask body 34. That is, the frame holders 39 are arranged such that each holder functions in one same rotational direction in response to its thermal expansion, e.g., the frame holders 39 are fixed to the mask frame in clockwise direction.
  • the mask body 34 is connected to the mask frame 36 by respectively welding corner portions of the skirt portion 33 to corresponding corner portions of the mask frame, and by respectively welding the intermediate portions of the long side edge 16a and the short side edge 16b of the skirt portion 33 to corresponding long side walls 17a and short side walls 17b.
  • the welding positions 41a between the long side edges 16a and the long side walls 17a are displaced from the vertical axis Y, and the welding positions 41b between the short side edges 16b and the short side walls 17b are displaced from the horizontal axis X.
  • the displacements of the welding positions 41a and 41b from the horizontal axis X and the vertical axis Y differ depending on materials of the mask frame 36 and the mask holder 39. Specifically, where the mask holder 39 has a larger thermal expansion coefficient than that of the mask frame 36, each of the welding positions 41a and 41b is displaced onto the side opposite to the welding position 43 where the mask holder 39 and the mask frame 36 are welded to each other, with respect to the vertical axis Y or horizontal axis X. On the contrary, where the mask holder 39 has a smaller thermal expansion coefficient than that of the mask frame 36, each of the welding positions 41a and 41b is displaced onto the side of the welding position 43, with respect to the vertical axis Y or horizontal axis X.
  • Welding positions 43 between the mask holders 39 and the mask frame 36 and the welding positions 41a and 41b between the mask frame 36 and the mask body 34 are set such that the thermal expansion amount of each mask holder 39 from the welding position 43 (welded to the mask frame 36) to the center of the stud pin 38 in the lengthwise direction becomes substantially equal to the thermal expansion amount of the mask frame 36 from the welding position 41a or 41b (welded to the mask body 34) to the welding position 43 in the same direction as the lengthwise direction, during operation of the cathode ray tube for a long time.
  • each of the welding positions 41a and 41b between the mask frame 36 and the long and short side edges of the mask body 34 is set so as to satisfy the relation as follows.
  • LF/LH (0.75 to 1.00) ⁇ ⁇ H/ ⁇ F
  • the mask frame 36 is made of an iron material and the mask holder 39 is made of a stainless-based spring material, the relation is as follows.
  • LF (1.15 to 1.45) ⁇ LH
  • the color cathode ray tube constructed as described above it is possible to reduce miss landing of the electron beams which appears inherently when each of the mask body 34, the mask frame 36, and the mask holder 39 is heated and expanded during operation for a long time, i.e., landing shift including a rotation component in case where four holders 39 are attached rotation-symmetrically.
  • the mask holder 39 is thermally expanded in the lengthwise direction with respect to the stud pin 38 as a fixed point thereby rotating the mask frame 36 in the direction of an arrow 45, as the mask body 34, the mask frame 36, and the holders 39 are heated. This is caused by the following two reasons.
  • the first reason is a thermal expansion difference between the mask holder 39 and the mask frame 36, as shown in FIG. 7A.
  • a power component parallel to each side wall portion of the mask frame is caused due to a movement amount by which each side wall portion of the mask frame 36 is moved in the horizontal or vertical axis direction and due to a movement of each fixed point which is moved in the horizontal or vertical axis direction by a change in length due to a thermal expansion.
  • the mask frame 36 is moved in the radial direction due to a thermal expansion to push each mask holder 39 toward the skirt portion 21 of the panel 22, and as a result, each mask holder is deformed in the direction in which each mask holder extends. In this manner, a force component is generated in the direction parallel to each of the side walls of the mask frame 36.
  • FIGS. 7A and 7B indicated conditions after a thermal expansion, respectively.
  • the entire mask frame 36 is thermally expanded so that the welding positions 41a and 41b between the mask body 34 and the mask frame 36 are going to move in the directions in which these positions are apart from the horizontal axis X and the vertical axis Y of the shadow mask 26, respectively.
  • the movements of the welding positions 41a and 41b between the mask body 34 made of a low thermal expansion material and the mask frame 36 are smaller than the mask frame 36. Therefore, the mask body 34 receives a force which acts to rotate the mask body 34 in the direction of the arrow 46 due to a difference in thermal expansion.
  • the welding between the mask body 34 and the mask frame 36 at corner portions acts to resist the force as described above.
  • the force which rotates the mask body 34 in the direction of the arrow 46 has a larger absolute value than the resistance by the welding.
  • the mask body 34 rotates and shifts in a direction opposite to the direction of the arrow 45 of the rotation shift caused by the thermal expansion of the mask holder 39.
  • the amount of the rotation shift of the mask body 34 in the mask frame 36 increases as the welding positions 41a and 41b moves apart from the horizontal axis X and the vertical axis Y. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the rotation of the mask body 34 so that the shadow mask 26 does not look to be moved in relation to the panel 22, by setting the welding positions 41a and 41b between the mask body and the mask frame 36 having a larger thermal expansion coefficient than the mask body 34, as well as the welding positions between the mask frame 36 and the mask holder 39, as described above.
  • the mask holders 39 may be attached to be mirror-symmetrical with respect to the horizontal axis X and the vertical axis Y of the shadow mask 26, as shown in FIG. 8.
  • each of the mask holders 39 is thermally expanded in the lengthwise direction from the stud pin 38 as a fixing point thereby shifting the mask frame 36 and the mask body 34 in the diagonal direction indicated by the arrow 48, as shown in FIG. 9. Therefore, a landing change having horizontal and vertical components appears.
  • the mask body 34 is shifted, inside the mask frame, in the direction of the arrow 49 opposite to the diagonal direction of the shift of the mask holder 39 caused by a thermal expansion, by setting the welding positions 41a and 41b of the mask frame 36 to the side edges of the mask body 34, as well as the welding positions 43 between the mask frame 36 and the mask holder 39, as described above.
  • the shift of the mask body 34 in the diagonal direction can be cancelled, so that the shadow mask 26 looks to be not moved in relation to the panel 22.
  • a landing change or miss landing of the electron beams, containing horizontal and vertical components can be reduced and deterioration of color purity can be prevented, even when four mask holders 39 are arranged to be mirror-symmetrical with respect to the horizontal axis X and the vertical axis Y of the shadow mask 26.
  • the length (or distance LH) from each welding position 43 of the mask holders 39 with the mask frame 36 to the center axis of a corresponding stud pin 38 is 40 mm.
  • the welding positions between the mask frame 36 and respective side edges of the mask body 34 are set at positions shifted by 10 mm to the side opposite to the welding positions 43 between the mask holders 39 and the mask frame 36 with respect to the horizontal axis X and the vertical axis Y.
  • the temperature tF of the mask frame 36 during operation of the cathode ray tube for a long time is 30 to 50°C
  • the temperature tH of the mask holders is about 75 to 100% of the temperature.
