BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a cathode ray tube (CRT), and more particularly, to a funnel in a CRT, which can secure an adequate vacuum strength, and improve a deflection sensitivity, one of deflection yoke efficiencies, and a wedge insert ability.
2. Background of the Related Art
A related art CRT will be explained, with reference to
FIGS. 1 and 2
.
The related art CRT is provided with a panel
10
and a funnel
20
welded to rear of the panel
10
with frit glass. The panel
10
has flat or curved outside surface and inside surface, and the funnel
20
is a cone formed.
In the meantime, there is an electron gun
19
sealed in a rear part of the funnel
20
for emitting an electron beam, and there is a shadow mask
12
fitted with a gap to the inside surface of the panel
10
having a radius of curvature similar to the radius of curvature of the inside of the panel.
The shadow mask
12
is welded to the frame
14
, and the frame
14
is fixed to stud pins
16
fixed to the panel
10
through springs
15
. There is an inner shield
17
fixed to the frame
14
by fixing springs
13
for shielding an external magnetic field.
The funnel will be explained with reference to
FIGS. 1-3
.
The funnel
20
is welded to the panel
10
, to form a seal line
31
, and a height from the seal line
31
to an outside surface of the panel
10
is a height (OAH) of the panel
10
.
The funnel
20
is provided with a body part
21
, a cone part
22
, and a neck part
23
. A connection part of the body part to the cone part
22
is called a TOR (Top Of Round)
33
, and a connection part of the cone part
22
to the neck part
23
is called a neck seal
37
. There is a RL (Reference Line)
35
, a center of the electron beam deflection in the cone part
22
, and there is a deflection yoke
18
fitted to the cone part
22
for deflection of the electron beam.
Since the cone part
22
in the funnel
20
is relatively thin compared to other parts, it is required that the cone part
22
is made to reinforce a vacuum strength. Therefore, as shown in
FIG. 3
, the cone part
22
has a circular section for uniform distribution of stress.
In the meantime, the electron beam from the electron gun
19
is made to make a curvilinear motion in a screen direction by the deflection yoke
18
in the cone part
22
. Of a long side direction, a short side direction, and a diagonal direction of a rectangular screen, the diagonal direction is the farthest from a center of the screen. Accordingly, the electron beam deflected to the diagonal direction is required to make a curvilinear motion that is curved the most. Since the long side direction and the short side direction have shorter distances to the screen, the electron beams in the long side direction or the short side direction makes a curvilinear motion that is curved less than the electron beam in the diagonal direction.
When the electron beam hits the cone part
22
, a shadow phenomenon occurs in which the electron beam is shaded by an inside surface of cone part
22
, so as not to be shown on the screen. Therefore, the cone part
22
has an outside form designed to have a curvature similar to an electron beam path in the diagonal direction.
In the meantime, in order to form a rectangular screen, it is required that the path
22
b
of the electron beam passing through the cone part
22
also has a form close to rectangle, resulting to occur invalid spaces
22
a
in the long side direction and the short side direction through which no electron beam passes.
Disadvantages of the related art CRT, a CRT having a circular cone part
22
section, will be explained.
First, the circular cone part
22
also requires a circular deflection yoke
18
. This causes far distances from the deflection yoke
18
to the electron beam both in the long side direction and the short side direction, leading to weaken the force of a magnetic field of the deflection yoke
18
to the electron beam week. Therefore, it is necessary to apply a strong current to the deflection yoke
18
for forming a strong magnetic field, and this requires much power consumption.
Second, in the invalid spaces
22
a
in the long side direction and the short side direction, degrees of close contact of the deflection yoke
18
with the electron beam are poor, to drop deflection sensitivity of the electron beam even if the identical current is applied to the deflection yoke
18
.
In the meantime, as environmentally friendly and low powered electric appliances are currently required, improvement of the deflection yoke, that has much power consumption, is essential even in the CRT. However, for fabrication of a low powered deflection yoke, improvement of the form of the cone part in the funnel is required beforehand. Eventually, a CRT having a section similar to the deflection path of the electron beam is suggested. However, the non-circular cone part requires making the vacuum strength thereof weaker than the circular cone part. Besides, the non-circular cone part requires taking the deflection sensitivity, and the wedge insert ability into account. That is, the CRT, particularly, the cone part of the funnel, requires a proper balance of the vacuum strength, the deflection sensitivity, and the wedge insert ability.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the invention is directed to a funnel in a CRT that substantially obviates one or more of the problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art.
An object of the invention is to provide a tunnel in a CRT which permits securing an adequate vacuum strength.
Another object of the invention is to provide a funnel CRT which has an excellent deflection sensitivity and a wedge insert ability.
To achieve these and other advantages and in accordance with the purpose of the invention, as embodied and broadly described, the funnel in a CRT includes a body part welded to a panel, a cone part connected to the body part having a deflection yoke fitted thereto, and a neck part connected to the cone part having an electron gun sealed therein, wherein the cone part is formed such that &Dgr;Y/&Dgr;X={YD-(DD*sin&thgr;
2
)}/{XD-(DD*cos&thgr;
2
)} is greater than 4, where DD denotes a diagonal length, XD denotes a long axis length, YD denotes a short axis length, and &thgr;
2
denotes a diagonal angle between the long axis and the short axis.
Preferably, the &Dgr;Y/&Dgr;X=4.0-5.5, and more preferably, the &Dgr;Y/&Dgr;X=4.0-5.0.
Preferably, a part starting from a part the body part and the cone part are connected to a distance toward the cone part is formed to satisfy the range of the &Dgr;Y/&Dgr;X. Preferably, the distance is approx. 20 mm.
The diagonal angle is the same with an angle the long axis and the short axis of the screen of the CRT form.
Centers of radiuses of curvatures of a corner of the cone part are on the same line.
In another aspect of the invention, there is provided a funnel in a CRT including a body part welded to a panel, a cone part connected to the body part having a deflection yoke fitted thereto, and a neck part connected to the cone part having an electron gun sealed therein, wherein the funnel is formed such that c/(a+d) is in a range of 0.26-0.37, where ‘c’ denotes a length of the cone part, ‘d’ denotes a length of the body part, ‘a’ denotes a length from a deflection center line of an electron beam to a front end of the cone part in the cone part, and ‘b’ denotes a length from a deflection center line of an electron beam to a rear end of the cone part in the cone part. Preferably, the c/(a+d) is in a range of 0.30-0.35. Preferably, the funnel is formed such that a/b is in a range of 1.00-1.20.
Thus, the CRT with a non-circular cone part of the invention can provide good vacuum strength, deflection sensitivity, and wedge insert ability.
Thus, the CRT wit
