Description
CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
The present application is related to and claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-356855, filed on Nov. 22, 2001, and Japanese Patent Application No. 2002-280152, filed on Sep. 26, 2002.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a display device, and particularly to a cathode ray tube including a deflection yoke and a display device thereof.
In one conventional technique, a horizontal auxiliary coil and a vertical auxiliary coil are wound toroidally about a main core, and a horizontal auxiliary transformer or a vertical auxiliary transformer is provided to cancel a voltage induced from a main deflection yoke (see,
FIGS. 3
to
5
of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-129846). The main core defines the sole deflection yoke in this art.
In another conventional technique, a portion of a coil of a main deflection yoke is wound about a minor core (see, FIG. 1 of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-21330). Accordingly, the portion of the coil wound about the minor yoke cooperates with a portion of the coil wound about the main core to more finely control the trajectory of electrons passing through the main and minor cores, i.e., increase the deflection sensitivity.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In first conventional technique, the deflection sensitivity is reduced since it is necessary to provide a horizontal auxiliary transformer or a vertical auxiliary transformer, which also increases the manufacturing cost. Manufacturing such a deflection yoke also is more complicated, thereby raising reliability concerns.
The second conventional technique, on the other hand, provides an improvement in sensitivity of a main deflection yoke since a portion of a coil of a main deflection yoke is wound about a minor core. However, no mechanism is provided for improving the sensitivity of the minor deflection yoke. Additionally, a crosstalk voltage results from a magnetic field leakage of the main deflection yoke to the minor deflection yoke, thus interfering with the operation of the minor deflection yoke with respect to a drive circuit.
A deflection yoke according to one embodiment of the present invention improves deflection sensitivity of a minor deflection yoke and reduces or suppresses a crosstalk voltage. The deflection yoke can be manufactured with a simplified configuration at a lower cost.
In one embodiment, an electron beam trajectory controlling device includes a main deflection section having a first main coil and defining a first path and being configured to control a trajectory of an electron traveling along the first path. The main deflection section includes a first auxiliary coil provided proximate the first main coil. A minor deflection section is provided adjacent to the main deflection section and has a first minor coil that is coupled to the first auxiliary coil. The minor deflection section defines a second electron path that is aligned to the first path. The minor deflection section cooperates with the main deflection section to control the trajectory of the electron.
In one embodiment, a device for deflecting an electron beam includes a main deflection section defining a first path and being configured to deflect the electron beam traveling along the first path. The main deflection section provides a coarse deflection control of the electron beam. The main deflection section includes a first main conductive component configured to generate a magnetic field to deflect the electron beam traveling along the first path in a first direction, a second main conductive component configured to generate a magnetic field to deflect the electron beam traveling along the first path in a second direction, a first auxiliary conductive component, and a second auxiliary conductive component. A minor deflection section is provided adjacent to the main deflection section. The minor deflection section defines a second path that is aligned to the first path and provides a fine deflection control of the electron beam. The minor deflection includes a first minor conductive component that is coupled to the first auxiliary conductive component and configured to deflect the electron beam along the first direction, and a second minor conductive component that is coupled to the second auxiliary conductive component and configured to deflect the electron beam along the second direction. The first auxiliary conductive component cooperates with the first minor conductive component to reduce a crosstalk voltage generated in the minor deflection section. The first minor conductive component is not coupled to the first major conductive component.
In another embodiment, a cathode ray tube includes a display surface and a deflection assembly. The deflection assembly includes a main deflection section having a first main coil and defining a first electron beam path and being configured to control a trajectory of an electron beam traveling along the first path. The main deflection section includes a first auxiliary coil provided proximate the first main coil. The assembly also includes a minor deflection section provided adjacent to the main deflection section. The minor deflection section has a first minor coil that is coupled to the first auxiliary coil and defines a second electron beam path that is aligned to the first electron beam path. The minor deflection section cooperates with the main deflection section to control the trajectory of the electron beam.
In yet another embodiment, a display device includes a housing having an opening and a cathode ray tube provided within the housing and having a display surface, the display surface aligned to the opening of the housing. The cathode ray tube includes a main deflection section having a first main coil and defining a first electron path and being configured to control a trajectory of an electron traveling along the first electron path, the main deflection section including a first auxiliary coil provided proximate the first main coil. The tube also includes a minor deflection section provided adjacent to the main deflection section and having a first minor coil that is coupled to the first auxiliary coil, the minor deflection section defining a second electron path that is aligned to the first electron path, the minor deflection section cooperating with the main deflection section to control the trajectory of the election. The inductances of the first auxiliary and minor coils are met to satisfy the following condition, 0.005 ≦L
a1
/L
m1
≦0.7, where La1 denotes the inductance of the first auxiliary coil and Lm1 denotes the inductance of the first minor coil.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
While the present invention has been described herein using several embodiments thereof, it should be understood that the disclosed embodiments might be altered or modified without departing from the scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be interpreted using the appended claims.
A deflection yoke assembly and a cathode ray tube of a display device, according to embodiments of the present invention, will be described below with reference to
FIGS. 1A
to
9
.
FIG. 1A
shows a display device
200
having a housing
202
and a cathode ray tube provided with a deflection yoke assembly
1
according to one embodiment of the present invention. The display device is a television or a computer monitor according to one embodiment of the present invention. The display device includes a cathode ray tube
9
, a deflection yoke assembly
1
, a high voltage circuit
91
, a video circuit
92
, a horizontal deflection circuit
93
, a vertical deflection circuit
94
, a horizontal drive circuit
95
, a vertical drive circuit
96
, a video signal input terminal
97
, a horizontal synchronous signal input terminal
98
, and a vertical synchronous signal input terminal. Herein below, the same component names and numerals are used to refer elements or features that are similar to above-mentioned elements or features.
Referring to
FIGS. 1B
to
3
, reference numeral
1
designates a deflection yoke assembly, which is arranged in a cathode ray tube, and a fluorescent surface is provided on the left side
101
of the deflection yoke assembly. The deflection assembly
1
includes a first or main deflection yoke
2
(or main deflection section), a second or minor deflection yoke
3
(or secondary deflection section), a main core
41
, a minor core
42
, a main horizontal coil
5
, a second auxiliary horizontal coil
6
, a first auxiliary horizontal coil
71
, a first auxiliary vertical coil
72
, a second auxiliary vertical coil
43
, and a main vertical coil
8
. The main deflection yoke is provided proximate the fluorescent surface, and the minor deflection yoke is provide proximate in electron gun (not shown) and remote from the fluorescent surface according to one embodiment of the present invention. Since the minor deflection yoke
3
(i.e., the minor core) has a smaller inner diameter than that of the main deflection yoke
2
(i.e., the main yoke), the minor deflection yoke provides a higher deflection sensitivity than the main deflection yoke.
The main and minor cores
41
and
42
are metallic (e.g., iron) cylindrical-shaped objects whereupon respective coils are wound. The main horizontal and vertical coils and the first auxiliary horizontal and vertical coils are provided on the main core
41
. The second auxiliary horizontal and vertical coils (or minor horizontal and vertical coils) are provided on the minor core
42
. The first and second auxiliary horizontal coils are connected to each other in series or parallel. The first and second auxiliary vertical coils are connected to each other in series or parallel. The main horizontal and vertical coils are not coupled to the corresponding minor horizontal and vertical coils (or second auxiliary horizontal and vertical coils).
In one implementation, the deflection yoke assembly
1
includes the first auxiliary horizontal coils
71
and the first auxiliary vertical coils
72
that are wound toroidally about the main core
41
, a terminal
711
of the first auxiliary horizontal coil
71
connected to the second auxiliary horizontal coil
6
in series or parallel, and a terminal
721
of the first auxiliary vertical coil
72
connected to a terminal
431
of a second auxiliary vertical coil
43
in series or parallel. While in
FIG. 2
, the first auxiliary horizontal coils
71
and the first auxiliary vertical coils
72
are respectively connected in series. In another implementation, they are connected in parallel.
As used herein, the term “deflection yoke assembly” refers to a device or component that is used to deflect or control a trajectory of an electron beam. The term “main deflection section” refers to a device or component in an electron beam deflection controlling device, e.g., a display device, cathode ray tube, or deflection yoke assembly, that provides a coarse deflection control of an electron beam traveling along a path. An example of the main deflection section is the main deflection yoke described herein. The term “minor deflection section” refers to a device or component in an electron beam deflection controlling device, e.g., a display device, cathode ray tube, or deflection yoke assembly, that provides a fine deflection control of an electron beam traveling along a path. An example of the minor deflection section is the minor deflection yoke described herein.
Referring back to
FIG. 1A
, a video signal is input from the video signal input terminal
97
, and the signal is processed by the video circuit
92
and afterward supplied to a cathode of the cathode ray tube
9
. A horizontal synchronous signal is input from the horizontal synchronous signal input terminal
98
, and the signal input is supplied to the horizontal deflection circuit
93
to generate a horizontal deflection current. The horizontal deflection current generated is supplied to the main horizontal coil
5
of the deflection yoke assembly
1
. Further, the horizontal synchronous signal is supplied to the high voltage circuit
91
and a high voltage is applied to an anode of the cathode ray tube
9
. A vertical synchronous signal is input from the vertical synchronous signal input terminal
99
, and the signal input is supplied to the vertical deflection circuit
94
to generate a vertical deflection current. The vertical deflection current generated is supplied to the main vertical coil
8
of the deflection yoke
1
. In this manner, the cathode ray tube device is driven.
When the deflection yoke assembly
1
of the present embodiment is applied to the cathode ray tube device, high sensitivity and a low crosstalk voltage can be realized with a relatively simple device design. Accordingly, the cathode ray tube
9
requires significantly less power to drive the horizontal drive circuit
95
and the vertical drive circuit
96
, as described in more detail below.
FIG. 4
illustrates a cross-sectional view of the main core
41
taken along an arrow A-A′ according to another embodiment of the present invention. In
FIG. 4
, the first auxiliary horizontal coil
71
includes first and second sub-coils
712
and
713
to be wound about the main core and the first auxiliary vertical coil
72
includes first and second sub-coils
722
and
723
to be wound about the main core. A magnetic field distribution formed by the horizontal sub-coils
712
and
713
, and the vertical sub-coils
722
and
723
shows a uniform magnetic field distribution, which facilitates in reducing the crosstalk voltage.
In another embodiment, the first auxiliary horizontal coil
71
and the first auxiliary vertical coil
72
are formed using a saddle-winding method within the first deflection yoke
2
, thereby obtaining similar effects as described above.
FIG. 5
shows a cross-sectional view taken on A-A′ of a main deflection yoke
2
according to another embodiment of the present invention. As in elsewhere, the same names and numerals are used to refer elements or features that are similar to above-mentioned elements or features. For example, the main deflection yoke
2
of
FIG. 5
uses the same name and numeral as that of
FIG. 2
although they refer to different, yet similar components. The main deflection yoke
2
of
FIG. 5
includes a main core
41
having a plurality of markings
102
on its inner surface or outer surface, or both. The markings
102
are configured to facilitate precise wounding of the first horizontal and vertical auxiliary coils
71
and
72
about the main core. In one embodiment, the markings
102
are provided by varying the thickness of the main core
41
, e.g., indentations are made on portions of the main core
41
whereon the first horizontal and vertical auxiliary coils
71
and
72
are to be wound toroidally. The indentations can be made on the inner surface or the outer surface, or both. With such markings, the auxiliary coils can be wound more easily and precisely, thereby providing a greater deflection sensitivity for the deflection assembly
1
. In one embodiment, similar markings are provided on the minor core
42
to facilitate precise wounding of the second auxiliary vertical and horizontal coils.
FIGS. 6
to
8
illustrate a principle used to suppress a crosstalk voltage according to one embodiment of the present invention. The main horizontal coil
5
, the second auxiliary horizontal coil
6
, and the first auxiliary horizontal coil
71
are used in this illustration. A magnetic field leakage
51
generated by the main horizontal coil
5
, as shown in
FIGS. 7 and 8
, passes through the minor core
42
arranged in the minor deflection yoke
3
from the neck side (e.g., the left side of the minor deflection yoke
3
in
FIG. 7
) of the main deflection yoke
2
, generating a crosstalk voltage in the second auxiliary horizontal coil
6
.
However, as shown in
FIG. 6
, a winding direction of the first auxiliary horizontal coil
71
is arranged so that a “reverse crosstalk” voltage is generated by the first auxiliary coil
71
. The first auxiliary coil
71
provided on the main coil
41
is coupled to the second auxiliary coil
6
via the terminal
711
. Accordingly, the “reverse crosstalk” voltage offsets or suppresses the crosstalk voltage generated in the second auxiliary coil
6
, thereby significantly reducing the crosstalk voltage across a terminal
420
and a terminal
710
. This provides substantial improvement in dynamic range of a drive circuit associated with the deflection yoke.
Referring to
FIGS. 7 and 8
, a first auxiliary horizontal magnetic field
714
generated by the first auxiliary horizontal coil
71
and a second auxiliary horizontal magnetic field
61
generated by the second auxiliary horizontal coil
6
are generated in the same direction, that is, these magnetic fields are added, thereby significantly increasing the deflection sensitivity. While the above description has been made using the main horizontal coil
5
, the second auxiliary horizontal coil
6
, and the first auxiliary horizontal coil, a similar effect can be obtained from the main vertical coil
8
, the first auxiliary vertical coil
72
, and the second auxiliary vertical coil
43
.
FIG. 9
shows a characteristic of deflection sensitivity of a minor deflection yoke
3
of a deflection yoke assembly
1
according to one embodiment of the present invention. In
FIG. 9
, L
s1
refers to an inductance of the first auxiliary horizontal coil
71
, L
s2
refers to an inductance of the second auxiliary horizontal coil
6
, a Y-axis represents a relative power index of the minor deflection yoke
3
, and an X-axis represents the ratio of L
s1
over L
s2
. The Y-axis also represents the deflection sensitivity of the deflection yoke assembly
3
, where the sensitivity increases as the relative deflection power index decreases.
Values of the L
s1
and L
s2
vary according to the number of turns wound about the main and minor cores
41
and
42
. In one embodiment, the value L
s1
is obtained by wounding a coil toroidally about the main core 1-8 times (i.e., 1-8 turns), preferably 2-6 times, more preferably 2-5 or 3-4 times. The value L
s2
is obtained by wounding the same type of coil toroidally about the minor core 10-50 times (i.e., 10-50 turns), preferably 15-40 times, more preferably 20-30 times. In the present embodiment, the main core
41
has an outer radius (R
1
) of 55 mm, and an inner radius (R
2
) of 48 mm (i.e., a thickness of 3.5 mm), and the height or length (L
1
) of 28 mm. The minor core
42
has an outer radius (R
3
) of 42 mm, and an inner radius (R
4
) of 31 mm (i.e., a thickness of 5.5 mm), and the height or length (L
2
) of 15 mm.
Referring back to
FIG. 9
, a point
300
, where X is 0 and Y is 1, represents a situation where the deflection yoke assembly
1
has only the second horizontal auxiliary coils on the minor core
42
and no first auxiliary horizontal coils on the main core
41
.
Generally, if the relative deflection power index is improved by 5% or more, a significant improvement can be obtained in reducing loss of power (about 4%), i.e., power consumption, by the horizontal drive circuit
95
and the vertical drive circuit
96
of FIG.
1
A. In one embodiment, this 5% improvement occurs at a point
302
where X is 0.007, at a point
304
where X is 0.7. While improving sensitivity, this reduction in power loss also enables use of a smaller radiation plate to dissipate heat generated in the periphery circuitry. If the relative deflection power index is improved by 10% or more, a rating of a transistor of the horizontal drive circuit
95
and the vertical drive circuit
96
can be made small by one rank, enabling a considerable reduction in cost. The 10% improvement occurs at a point
306
where X is 0.005 and at a point
308
where X is 0.6. An even better result may be obtained at a point
310
where X is between about 0.1 to about 0.3 or a point
312
where X is between about 0.1 to about 0.2.
Accordingly, the present inventors have discovered that the deflection yoke assembly
1
of the display device consumes low power and provides high sensitivity when the inductances of the first and second auxiliary coils are set with the following parameters: 0.005≦L
s1
/L
s2
≦0.7, or preferably 0.007≦L
s1
/L
s2
≦0.6, or more preferably 0.01≦L
s1
/L
s2
≦0.2. The power index issues described above using the first and second auxiliary horizontal coils similarly apply to the first and second auxiliary vertical coils as well.
According to the embodiments described above, an improved display device having a deflection yoke assembly that provides a simplified design, increases the deflection sensitivity, decreases the relative power index, and reduces a crosstalk voltage. The deflection yoke assembly includes a main deflection yoke where a first auxiliary coil is provided and a minor deflection yoke where a second auxiliary coil is provided. The auxiliary coils are coupled to each other in series or parallel.
