1,170,503. Cathode-ray tube circuits. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP. 10 Feb., 1967 [18 Feb., 1966], No. 6484/67. Heading H4T. In cathode-ray tube apparatus in which relatively low frequency X, Y signals and relatively high frequency X, Y signals simultaneously deflect the beam pin-cushion distortion is corrected by means of separate correction circuits for the low and high frequency signals. The invention is described as applied to character recognition systems in which the beam of a flying-spot scanning cathode-ray tube 11 is deflected under the control of generators 12 and 13, operating at relatively low frequencies, to the X, Y co-ordinate positions of the various characters, each of which is then scanned by a vertical line raster produced under the control of relatively high-frequency deflection signals from generators 17, 18. Pin cushion distortion in the deflection produced by generators 12 and 13 is corrected by a known circuit 14, the outputs VKX, VKY of which are combined subtractively with the actual deflection signals from generators 12, 13 in drivers 15, 16 and supplied to X, Y deflection coils for the main positioning (macro deflection) of the tube beam. For correcting distortion which would otherwise occur in the raster scan produced by generators 17, 18 (micro-deflection) a circuit 21 (detailed in Fig. 2, not shown) supplies correction voltages Vfy, Vfx which control the operation of generators 17, 18 to produce corrected deflection waveforms Vxs, Vys for application to separate deflection coils via driver stages 19, 20. The correction voltages Vfy, Vfx comprise voltages proportional to the square of the micro-deflection voltages when + VXL and +VYL are greater than zero and -VXL and -VYL are less than zero the correction voltages being zero for all other conditions. A suitable circuit for generator 17 or 18 is described with reference to Fig. 4 (not shown). The microdeflection may be effected by a sine wave instead of by sawtooth waves and single horizontal and vertical deflection coils to which the combined corrected deflecton waveforms are supplied may replace the separate deflection coils shown. |
