BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an improvement in a deflecting yoke apparatus used in a cathode ray tube of, e.g., a color television receiver or a color display apparatus. Further, the present invention relates to a television receiver using the above-described deflecting yoke apparatus.

2. Description of the Related Art

As is well known, the above-described deflecting yoke apparatus controls in such a manner that respective electron beams R (Red), G (Green) and B (Blue) corresponding to three primary colors emitted from an electron gun scan along a fixed path on a fluorescent screen by applying deflection in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction to the respective electron beams R, G and B.

This deflecting yoke apparatus comprises a separator formed in a substantially conical shape, and generates to a horizontal deflecting coil provided on the inner side of the separator and a vertical deflecting coil provided on the outer side of the same a magnetic field by passing serriform deflecting currents synchronized with horizontal and vertical cycles, thereby giving deflection to the respective electron beams R, G and B by using this magnetic field.

Meanwhile, in this type of deflecting yoke apparatus, if a vertical direction in a screen is determined as a Y axis, there are generated a Y axis (vertical) horizontal misconvergence YH (Horizontal) that the electron beams R and B produce a displacement in a lateral direction with the Y axis therebetween and a Y axis (vertical) vertical misconvergence VCR (Vertical Convergence Ratio) that the electron beams G produce a displacement with respect to the electron beams R and B.

Therefore, in general, a frame coil is provided to the deflecting yoke apparatus in order to correct the displacement of the three types of electron beams R, G and B on the fluorescent screen. As this frame coil, there are a YH coil used to correct the Y axis horizontal misconvergence YH and a VCR coil used to correct the Y axis vertical misconvergence VCR.

However, it is actually difficult to correct the Y axis horizontal misconvergence YH to a practically sufficient level due to a collapse of a waveform of current provoked when a reverse current is led to the YH coil in a vertical blanking period. As a result, there is generated a problem that an image quality is deteriorated.

Each of Jpn. Pat. Appln. KOKAI No. 11-167884, Jpn. Pat. Appln. KOKAI No. 7-193831, Jpn. Pat. Appln. KOKAI No. 2001-101983 and Jpn. Pat. Appln. KOKAI No. 2000-41264 discloses a structure to correct the Y axis horizontal misconvergence YH. However, these laid-open publications do not have a description about dealing with a deterioration in an image quality caused when a reverse current is led to the YH coil used to correct the Y axis horizontal misconvergence YH in the vertical blanking period at all.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

A first embodiment according to the present invention will now be described in detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a television receiver described in connection with the first embodiment. In FIG. 1 , reference numeral 11 denotes an antenna. This antenna 11 receives a television broadcast signal and outputs it to a tuner portion 12 .

This tuner portion 12 selects a television signal of a desired broadcast channel from the inputted television broadcast signal. Then, this tuner portion 12 outputs the selected television signal to a video decoding processing portion 13 and a synchronization detection portion 14 .

Of these portions, the video decoding processing portion 13 extracts a video component from the inputted television signal and applies decoding processing to this component. Thereafter, it outputs a result to a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) 16 through a drive portion 15 .

Further, the synchronization detection portion 14 extracts respective horizontal and vertical synchronization components from the inputted television signal, and outputs them to a deflecting current generation portion 17 . This deflecting current generation portion 17 generates respective horizontal and vertical deflecting currents from the respective inputted horizontal and vertical synchronization components, and outputs them to a deflecting yoke portion 18 of the CRT 16 .

Then, the respective horizontal and vertical deflecting currents outputted from the deflecting current generation portion 17 are supplied to a horizontal deflecting coil and a vertical deflecting coil of the deflecting yoke portion 18 . As a result, a video signal outputted from the drive portion 15 is displayed as a screen image in the CRT 16 .

FIG. 2 shows an external appearance of the deflecting yoke portion 18 . This deflecting yoke portion 18 mainly comprises a separator 19 formed into a substantially conical shape having both opened ends, a horizontal deflecting coil (not shown) set on the inner side of this separator 19 , an annular core 20 coaxially set on the outer side of the separator 19 , and a toroidal type vertical deflecting coil 21 directly wound around this core 20 .

Furthermore, a pair of frame coils 22 and 23 are set to the separator 19 of this deflecting yoke portion 18 at positions corresponding to upper and lower portions in a screen. Moreover, to the separator 19 of the deflecting yoke portion 18 is set a terminal plate 24 which is used to electrically connect the horizontal deflecting coil, the vertical deflecting coil 21 and the frame coils 22 and 23 and supply a current to these coils from the outside.

FIG. 3 shows the toroidal type vertical deflecting coil 21 wound around the core 20 seen from a screen side of the CRT 16 . It is to be noted that a vertical direction is determined as a Y axis and a horizontal direction is determined as an X axis in the screen of the CRT 16 .

That is, in a state that the core 20 is seen from the X-Y plane side, the vertical deflecting coil 21 comprises an upper vertical deflecting coil 25 which is wound around an upper part obtained when the core 20 is divided into two in the Y axis direction and which is in charge of vertical deflection of the upper side in the screen, and a lower vertical deflecting coil 26 which is wound around a lower part obtained when the core 20 is divided in two in the Y axis direction and which is in charge of vertical deflection of the lower side in the screen.

Additionally, the upper vertical deflecting coil 25 comprises an upper main coil 25 a wound around the substantially entire upper part obtained when the core 20 is divided in two in the Y axis direction, and an upper sub-coil 25 b which is wound around only the vicinity of the Y axis which divides the core 20 in two in the X axis direction of the upper part obtained when the core 20 is divided in two in the Y axis direction.

In this case, the upper main coil 25 a is wound first, and the upper sub-coil 25 b is wound around the upper layer of the upper main coil 25 a . The upper main coil 25 a has a coarse winding density at a part around which the upper sub-coil 25 b is wound. In FIG. 3 , only a transit portion 25 c which cuts across the Y axis exists. Further, the upper sub-coil 25 b is wound on this transit portion 25 c.

Here, the both end portions of the upper main coil 25 a are electrically connected with the terminal plate 24 through terminals 25 a 1 and 25 a 2 . Furthermore, the both end portions of the upper sub-coil 25 b are electrically connected with the terminal plate 24 through terminals 25 b 1 and 25 b 2 .

On the other hand, the lower vertical deflecting coil 26 comprises a lower main coil 26 a which is wound around the substantially entire lower part obtained when the core 20 is divided in two in the Y axis direction, and a lower sub-coil 26 b which is wound around only the vicinity of the Y axis which divides the core 20 in two in the X axis direction of the lower part obtained when the core 20 is divided in two in the Y axis direction.

In this case, the lower main coil 26 a is first wound, and the lower sub-coil 26 b is wound around the upper layer of the lower main coil 26 a . The lower main coil 26 a has a coarse winding density at a part around which the lower sub-coil 26 b is wound. In FIG. 3 only a transit portion 26 c which cuts across the Y axis exists. Moreover, the lower sub-coil 26 b is wound on the transit portion 26 c.

Here, the both end portions of the lower main coil 26 a are electrically connected with the terminal plate 24 through terminals 26 a 1 and 26 a 2 . Additionally, the both end portions of the lower sub-coil 26 b are electrically connected with the terminal plate 24 through terminals 26 b 1 and 26 b 2 .

FIG. 4 shows an example of an electrical connection state of the frame coils 22 and 23 , the upper vertical deflecting coil 25 and the lower vertical deflecting coil 26 . That is, the upper main coil 25 a , the lower main coil 26 a , resistors R 1 and R 2 , a VCR coil 23 a as a part of the frame coil 23 and a VCR coil 22 a as a part of the frame coil 22 are connected in series between two power supply terminals 27 and 28 .

Furthermore, a contact between the lower main coil 26 a and the resistor R 1 is connected to one end of the upper sub-coil 25 b . Moreover, a contact between the resistors R 1 and R 2 is connected with one end of the lower sub-coil 26 b . Additionally, diodes D 1 and D 2 are connected in parallel between the other end of the upper sub-coil 25 b and the other end of the lower sub-coil 26 b in such a manner that these diodes D 1 and D 2 have the opposed directions.

Further, to the resistor R 2 are connected a series circuit of a diode D 3 having a shown polarity and a YH coil 22 b as a part of the frame coil 22 , and a series circuit of a diode D 4 having a shown polarity and a YH coil 23 b as a part of the frame coil 23 .

Furthermore, a contact between the resistor R 2 and the VCR coil 23 a is connected to one end of a variable resistor VR 1 , and a contact between the VCR coil 22 a and the power supply terminal 28 is connected to the other end of the variable resistance VR 1 . Moreover, a contact between the VCR coils 22 a and 23 a is connected to a traveling contact of the variable resistor VR 1 through a resistor R 3 .

In the deflecting yoke portion 18 having the above-described structure, in regard to vertical deflection, electron beams emitted from an electron gun of the CRT 16 pass through a magnetic field generated by the frame coils 22 and 23 , then pass through a magnetic field generated by the upper main coil 25 a , the lower main coil 26 a , the upper sub-coil 25 b and the lower sub-coil 26 b , and reach a fluorescent screen of the CRT 16 .

Therefore, correction of the Y axis horizontal misconvergence YH is performed by the YH coils 22 b and 23 b , the upper main coil 25 a , the lower main coil 26 a , the upper sub-coil 25 b and the lower sub-coil 26 b . Incidentally, if a magnet or the like is arranged as well as these coils, correction is of course affected by this member.

Here, when a predetermined voltage is applied between the power supply terminals 27 and 28 in order to supply a serriform deflecting current synchronized with a vertical cycle to the vertical deflecting coil 21 , a current i 1 flowing through the upper main coil 25 a and the lower main coil 26 a has characteristics such as indicated by a solid line in FIG. 5 , and a current i 2 flowing through the upper sub-coil 25 b and the lower sub-coil 26 b has characteristics such as indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 5 .

That is, the current i 1 having serriform characteristics flows through the upper main coil 25 a and the lower main coil 26 a , and the current i 2 which has a rising timing different from that of the current i 1 in accordance with ON/OFF of the diodes D 1 and D 2 and has pseudo-serriform characteristics flows through the upper sub-coil 25 b and the lower sub-coil 26 b . Moreover, a current which is like a half-wave-rectified current of the current i 2 flowing through the upper sub-coil 25 b and the lower-sub coil 26 b flows through the YH coils 22 b and 23 b.

In such circumstances, the electron beams which have passed through the magnetic field generated by the frame coils 22 and 23 receive forces of a barrel-like magnetic filed generated by the upper main coil 25 a and the lower main coil 26 a and of a pincushion-like magnetic field generated by the upper sub-coil 25 b and the lower sub-coil 26 b by the ON/OFF (switching) control of the diodes D 1 and D 2 .

Based on the ON/OFF period of the diodes D 1 and D 2 , e.g., if the OFF period is long, the correction of the Y axis horizontal misconvergence YH is carried out by the upper sub-coil 25 b and the lower sub-coil 26 b from a central portion in the screen as shown in FIG. 6 . As a result, the Y axis horizontal misconvergence YH (see FIG. 7 ) generated due to a collapse in waveform of the current provoked when a reverse current is led to the YH coil in a vertical blanking period can be corrected to a practically sufficient level.

Therefore, by designing a YH correction quantity in the YH coils 22 b and 23 b so as to be reduced as much as possible in particular based on a combination of a design of a magnetic field distribution of the upper main coil 25 a and the lower main coil 26 a , a design of a magnetic field distribution of the upper sub-coil 25 b and the lower sub-coil 26 b and a design of a magnetic field distribution of the YH coils 22 b and 23 b , the Y axis horizontal misconvergence YH can be corrected to a practically sufficient level.

It is to be noted that the upper main coil 25 a and the lower main coil 26 a are wound first, and the upper sub-coil 25 b and the lower sub-coil 26 b are wound around the upper layers of these main coils in FIG. 3 . However, as shown in FIG. 8 , the upper sub-coil 25 b and the lower sub-coil 26 b may be wound first, and the upper main coil 25 a and the lower main coil 26 a may be wound around the upper layers of these sub-coils.

In this case, transit portions 25 c and 26 c which extend across parts of the upper main coil 25 a and the lower main coil 26 a where the upper sub-coil 25 b and the lower sub-coil 26 b exist cut across the upper sub-coil 25 b and the lower sub-coil 26 b.

According to this winding method shown in FIG. 8 , the same advantage as that of the winding method depicted in FIG. 3 can be obtained.

FIG. 9 shows a second embodiment according to the present invention. In FIG. 9 , giving a description with like reference numerals denoting parts equal to those in FIG. 8 , the upper main coil 25 a and the upper sub-coil 25 b are wound by using one conducting wire, and the lower main coil 26 a and the lower sub-coil 26 b are wound by using one conducting wire.

In regard to the upper main coil 25 a and the lower sub-coil 25 b of these coils, the conducting wire is wound around the core 20 from a winding start end 25 bs of the upper sub-coil 25 b by a predetermined number of turns, thereby forming the upper sub-coil 25 b.

Thereafter, a predetermined length of the conducting wire is taken out from a winding trailing end 25 bf of the upper sub-coil 25 b , the conducting wire is led to a winding start end 25 as of the upper main coil 25 a , the conducting wire is further wound around the core 20 from there by a predetermined number of turns in order to form the upper main coil 25 a and it is caused to reach a winding trailing end 25 af.

Moreover, in regard to the lower main coil 26 a and the lower sub-coil 26 b , the conducting wire is wound around the core 20 by a predetermined number of turns from a winding start end 26 bs of the lower sub-coil 26 b , thereby forming the lower sub-coil 26 b.

According to such a structure, in regard to the upper vertical deflecting coil 25 , a connection part 25 bf / 25 as between the winding trailing end 25 bf of the upper sub-coil 25 b and the winding start end 25 as of the upper main coil 25 a can be clamped and connected to the terminal plate 24 at the same time. Additionally, as to the lower vertical deflecting coil 26 , a connection part 26 bf / 26 as between the winding trailing end 26 bf of the lower sub-coil 26 b and the winding start end 26 as of the lower main coil 26 a can be clamped and connected to the terminal plate 24 at the same time. Therefore, this winding method is effective for production.

Further, a connection part 25 bf / 25 as between the winding trailing end 25 bf of the upper sub-coil 25 b and the winding start end 25 as of the upper main coil 25 a is connected to the other end of the resistor R 1 , and the other end of the upper main coil 25 a is connected to one end of the resistor R 2 . Furthermore, the diodes D 1 and D 2 are connected in parallel between the other end of the lower sub-coil 26 b and the other end of the upper sub-coil 25 b in such a manner that these diodes D 1 and D 2 have the opposed directions.

It is to be noted that the upper sub-coil 25 b and the lower sub-coil 26 b are wound first and the upper main coil 25 a and the lower main coil 26 a are wound thereon. However, the upper main coil 25 a and the lower main coil 26 a may be wound first and the upper sub-coil 25 b and the lower sub-coil 26 b may be wound thereon.

That is, as shown in FIG. 11 , in regard to the upper main coil 25 a and the upper sub coil 25 b , the conducting wire is wound around the core 20 from the winding start end 25 as of the upper main coil 25 a by a predetermined number of turns, thereby forming the upper main coil 25 a.

Then, a predetermined length of the conducting wire is taken out from the winding trailing end 25 af of the upper main coil 25 a , the conducting wire is led to the winding start end 25 bs of the upper sub-coil 25 b , the conducting wire is wound around the core 20 from there by a predetermined number of turns in order to form the upper sub-coil 25 b and it is caused to reach the winding trailing end 25 bf.
