Convergence correcting device

A convergence correcting device movable in the direction of horizontal deflection axis comprising a first pair of magnetic pieces disposed at a specific interval on both sides of electron beams on the horizontal deflection axis, and a second pair of magnetic pieces disposed at a specific interval on both sides of the electron beams on a vertical deflection axis. These magnetic pieces are disposed between a deflection yoke and a subsidiary yoke. In this simple structure, the YV axis deviation due to correction of XH axis deviation can be canceled, and by setting the intervals of the first and second pair of magnetic pieces at proper values, the XH axis deviation can be easily corrected to a practically ignorable level without causing YV axis deviation.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
1. Field of the Invention 
The present invention relates to a color image display device using an 
inline type color picture tube, and more particularly to its convergence 
correcting device. 
2. Description of the Background Art 
A color image display device using an inline type color picture tube forms 
a screen by deflecting three electron beams of R (red), G (green), and B 
(blue), emitted from inline electron guns arranged in a row along the 
horizontal deflection axis, in horizontal and vertical directions through 
the use of deflection yokes. 
Of course, the three electron beams must be concentrated on a single point 
of the fluorescent screen, but generally the distance from the deflection 
center differs between the center of the screen and other parts, and the 
degree of concentration of beam at different positions on the screen 
varies, which causes the convergence to deviate. 
An improved deflection yoke with self-convergence correction is proposed 
for improving this problem. This improvement is realized by use of a 
deflection yoke having the horizontal deflection magnetic field in 
pincushion magnetic field and the vertical deflection magnetic field in 
barrel magnetic field. 
In recent color image display devices, there is a strong demand for higher 
resolution and higher density, and it is difficult to meet this demand 
with the self-convergence correction, and deflection yokes with additional 
convergence correcting devices such as subsidiary yoke using a multipolar 
core have been devised. 
FIG. 14 shows an example. An inline type color picture tube 15 has a neck 
16 equipped with an electron gun for generating three electron beams 2. 
The neck 16 is also furnished with a deflection yoke 9 and a subsidiary 
yoke 40 as a convergence correcting device. 
The subsidiary yoke 40 comprises an 8-pole core 41 composed of, for 
example, ferrite, permalloy, or silicon steel plate. The 8-pole core 41 
performs coma correction and static convergence correction. In particular, 
by adding a vertical coma correcting coil 42 to the 8-pole core 41, 
vertical coma may be corrected by passing a correction current through the 
vertical coma correcting coil 42. 
The shape of the core of the subsidiary yoke 40 may be also in C-form or 
E-form, aside from 8-pole form. 
As herein described, coma correction corrects the phenomenon of decrease of 
vertical deflection amount of the electron beam of G (green) to the 
electron beams of R (red) and B (blue) at the upper and lower ends of the 
screen because the vertical deflection coil forms a barrel magnetic field. 
FIG. 15 is a circuit diagram for explaining the vertical coma correction. 
By passing a vertical deflection current through the vertical coma 
correcting coil 42, a pincushion magnetic field 43 is formed at the end of 
the electron gun side of the deflection yoke 9, and the coma is corrected. 
In such deflection yoke 9 with self-convergence correction, it is necessary 
to correct the convergence axis deviation. The convergence axis deviation 
is the deviation of convergence when the distribution of the vertical or 
horizontal deflection magnetic field is imbalanced vertically or laterally 
with respect to the electron beams. 
The convergence axis deviation is generally corrected by inclining the 
opening of the deflection yoke 9 (the opposite side of the electron gun) 
vertically or laterally-along the horizontal deflection axis or vertical 
deflection axis. 
FIG. 16A and FIG. 16B are diagrams showing the lateral imbalance of the 
distribution of horizontal deflection magnetic field 1 and the 
accompanying deviation of convergence. FIG. 16A shows the case of lateral 
imbalance of the 5 horizontal deflection magnetic field 1 with respect to 
the electron beam 2, and FIG. 16B shows the deviation of convergence of 
vertical lines at right and left ends of red raster 3 and blue raster 4 on 
the screen of the inlinetype color picture tube 15, that is, the XH axis 
deviation, occurring when lateral imbalance of the horizontal deflection 
magnetic field 1 is present as shown in FIG. 16A. It is assumed, however, 
that the red raster 3' and blue raster 4' before onset of lateral 
imbalance of the horizontal deflection magnetic field 1 have been matched. 
As a matter of course, when the lateral imbalance of the distribution of 
the horizontal deflection magnetic field 1 occurs in the opposite 
direction of that illustrated in FIG. 16A, the XH axis deviation is in 
reverse direction of that illustrated in FIG. 16B. 
To correct such XH axis deviation, the opening of the deflection yoke 9 is 
inclined to the right or left of the horizontal deflection axis to cancel 
the lateral imbalance of distribution of the horizontal deflection 
magnetic field 1. For example, when the XH axis deviation of FIG. 16B 
occurs, it is evident that the XH axis deviation can be corrected by 
inclining the opening of the deflection yoke 20 9 to the right side. 
However, by inclining the deflection yoke 9 to right or left of the 
horizontal deflection axis, the convergence in other positions than the 
correcting position also changes, and it is further known that the 
distortion is also changed. 
FIG. 17A shows a lateral imbalance of distribution of the vertical 
deflection magnetic field 5 which occurs by inclining the deflection yoke 
9 right or left. FIG. 17B shows the deviation of convergence occurring due 
to an imbalance of distribution of the vertical deflection magnetic field 
5 shown in FIG. 17A, and FIG. 17C shows a change in raster distortion. 
When the opening of the deflection yoke 9 is inclined to the left, the 5 
horizontal deflection magnetic field 1 and vertical deflection magnetic 
field 5 are imbalanced laterally as shown in FIG. 16A and FIG. 17A with 
respect to the electron beam 2. In this case, as compared with the case of 
not inclining the opening of the deflection yoke 9 right or left (the red 
raster 3' and blue raster 4' are matched), the convergence is as shown in 
FIG. 17B, that is, the red raster 3 is expanded both vertically and 
laterally with respect to the blue raster 4. Meanwhile, the distortion 
change (or the change of green raster 6) when the opening of the 
deflection yoke 9 is not inclined right or left is expanded to the left as 
shown in FIG. 17C. When the opening of the deflection yoke 9 is inclined 
to the right side, the change is opposite to FIG. 17B and FIG. 17C. 
Thus, the cause of deviation (YV axis deviation) in the convergence of 
lateral lines at upper and lower ends of the red raster 3 and blue raster 
4 is the lateral imbalance occurring in the distribution of the vertical 
deflection magnetic field 5, and the cause of lateral imbalance in the 
distribution of the vertical deflection magnetic field 5 is the 
inclination of the deflection yoke 9. That is, when the deflection yoke 9 
is inclined right or left to correct for the XH axis deviation, 
structurally, the distribution is changed not only in the horizontal 
deflection magnetic field 1 but also in the vertical deflection magnetic 
field 5, with respect to the electron beam, and hence the YV axis 
deviation also occurs. 
Change of the magnetic field distribution mainly at the opening side of the 
deflection yoke 9 also has a significant effect on the distortion. That 
is, when the deflection yoke 9 is inclined to right or left, the 
distortion is also changed. 
To solve this problem, a magnetic piece is adhered to the end portion of 
the electron gun side of the deflection yoke 9, or a deflection yoke 
comprising a conversion correcting device with a movable magnetic piece is 
used. Using such convergence correcting device, it is not necessary to 
incline the deflection yoke to right or left. 
FIG. 18A shows a schematic structure of an embodiment of a convergence 
correcting device 8 for correction of XH axis deviation by using a 
magnetic piece, and FIG. 18B shows the changes of distribution of 
horizontal deflection magnetic field 1 by using the convergence correcting 
device 8. 
FIG. 18A is drawn in a direction of observing the deflection yoke 9 side 
from the neck 16 side of the inline type color picture tube 15. In the 
convergence correcting device 8, a pair of magnetic pieces 7a, 7b are 
disposed so that the electron beam 2 is disposed therebetween, that is, 
the neck 16 comprising the electron gun is between magnetic pieces 7a, 7b. 
In the convergence correcting device 8, an elliptical hole 11 is opened, 
in which the neck 16 is inserted. The convergence correcting device 8 is 
movable along the horizontal deflection axis. 
For example, as shown in FIG. 18B, when the pair of magnetic pieces 7a, 7b 
are shifted to the right side as seen from the tube surface, it produces a 
lateral 20 imbalance of the horizontal deflection magnetic field 1 as if 
the opening of the deflection yoke 9 were inclined to the left. 
Accordingly, as compared with the case of the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b 
staying at symmetrical positions to the tube axis, a convergence change 
occurs as shown in FIG. 16B. Similarly, when the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b 
are moved in the opposite direction of FIG. 18B, the convergence 25 change 
is opposite to FIG. 16B. 
Thus, when the pair of magnetic pieces 7a, 7b are used for the purpose of 
correction of convergence, it is not necessary to incline the deflection 
yoke 9, and lateral imbalance hardly occurs in the distribution of 
vertical deflection magnetic field 5. Therefore, there is almost no effect 
on the YV axis deviation, and since the convergence correcting device 8 
functions at the electron gun side end of the deflection yoke 9, there is 
almost no effect on the distortion. 
It is very natural herein to consider the combination of the subsidiary 
yoke 40 and the convergence correcting device 8 holding the pair of 
magnetic pieces 7a, 7b. But by mere combination of them, the following 
problems were found to be present as a result of experiment in the 
manufacture of trial products. 
Background Art 1 
A subsidiary yoke 40 was composed of an 8-pole core 41 made of ferrite of 
68 mm in diameter and 8 mm in thickness, and it was placed at a position 
of about 10 mm behind (to the opposite side of the tube surface) from the 
horizontal deflection coil provided in the deflection yoke. The 8-pole 
core 41 was not provided with vertical coma correcting coil 42. An object 
of high magnetic permeability was present behind the deflection yoke 9. 
The magnetic pieces 7a, 7b were prepared in each pair of three different 
sizes of ferrite thin plates (thickness 1 mm) (30.times.5, 22.times.4, 
16.times.3 mm). The magnetic 20 pieces 7a, 7b were arranged at a position 
of 6 mm from the horizontal deflection coil between the horizontal 
deflection coil of the deflection yoke 9 and the 8-pole core 41, so that 
their effect would not be shielded by the 8-pole core 41. 
In the above condition, in order to correct the XY axis deviation, when the 
magnetic pieces 7a, 7b are moved, for example, to the right as seen from 
the tube surface same as in FIG. 18B, the YV axis deviation is also 
changed as shown in FIG. 19. When the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b are moved to 
the left, as a matter of course, the change of convergence is opposite to 
FIG. 19. 
This is caused by complication of the distribution of the vertical 
deflection magnetic field as the leakage magnetic field from the 
deflection yoke 9 to the electron gun side is shielded by the 8-pole core 
41 composing the subsidiary yoke 40 disposed at the electron gun side end 
of the deflection yoke 9. If the deflection yoke 9 does not possess a 
subsidiary yoke 40, the distribution of vertical deflection magnetic field 
is hardly influenced by the position of the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b. 
However, since the subsidiary yoke 40 is present, the distribution of the 
vertical deflection magnetic field is influenced by the position of the 
magnetic pieces 7a,7b and the distribution of the vertical deflection 
magnetic field is imbalanced laterally, which causes YV axis deviation. 
This phenomenon was measured only in the above condition (that is, in a 
deflection yoke 9 having subsidiary yoke 40 comprising 8-pole core), but 
it seems to be a phenomenon which also exists when an object of high 
magnetic permeability containing E-form or C-form core is present behind 
the deflection yoke 9 (although the amount of YV axis deviation may be 
different). 
In the above condition, changes of XH axis deviation and YV axis deviation 
were measured in the parameters of the size of the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b 
and the moving range (+x mm!) and interval (2x+33 mm!). FIG. 20A shows 
an example of positioning the pair of magnetic pieces 7a, 7b at equal 
distance on both sides of the neck 16, FIG. 20B illustrating the 
positioning of the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b at the remotest and closest 
distances to the neck 16, respectively, and FIG. 20C shows a case of 
positioning the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b at the closest and remotest 
distances to the neck 16, respectively. 
Table 1 shows the size of the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b and changes of XH axis 
deviation and YV axis deviation obtained by their position, and FIG. 21 is 
a plotting thereof.

It is known from FIG. 21 that the changing amount of XH axis deviation and 
W axis deviation increases as the size of the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b and 
the moving range increase. 
To correct the XH axis deviation, a convergence change of about 0.8 mm or 
more is required, and for this purpose, therefore, the largest magnetic 
pieces (30.times.5 mm) must be used, and the moving range is required over 
.+-.2 mm. At this time, the change of YV axis deviation is about 0.1 mm. 
This change of YV axis deviation is not an ignorable value, which causes 
to disturb the quality of convergence. 
Background art 2 
At the electron gun side of the deflection yoke 9, a ferrite 8-pole core 41 
of 90 mm in diameter and 5 mm in thickness is provided, and a vertical 
coma correcting coil 42 was wound as shown in FIG. 22. 
As a pair of magnetic pieces 7a, 7b disposed in the convergence correcting 
15 device 8, a pair of thin ferrite plates (30.times.5 mm, 1 mm thick) 
were used. The pair of magnetic pieces 7a, 7b were arranged at a position 
3 mm remote from the 8-pole core 41 between the horizontal deflection coil 
of the deflection yoke 9 and the 8-pole core 41 so that their effect may 
not be shielded by the 8-pole core 41. 
In the above conditions, to correct the XH axis deviation, for example, 
when the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b are moved to the right as seen from the 
tube surface in the same manner as illustrated in FIG. 18B, it is 
accompanied by a phenomenon of changing also the YV axis deviation as 
shown in FIG. 23. Of course, when the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b are moved to 
the left, the change of convergence deviation is opposite to FIG. 23. 
This is because the distribution of the vertical coma correction magnetic 
field 43 is imbalanced laterally by changing the position of the magnetic 
pieces 7a, 7b, thereby breaking the balance of the deflection amount of 
each beam of R (red) and B (blue). 
This phenomenon was measured only in the above condition (that is, in the 
vertical coma correcting coil wound on the 8-pole core as specified 
above), but it seems to be a phenomenon similarly present in vertical coma 
correction using the vertical coma correcting coil wound on E-form or 
C-form core. 
In the above condition, changes of XH axis deviation and YV axis deviation 
were measured in the parameter of the interval a of the magnetic pieces 
7a, 7b. The moving range was fixed at .+-.2.5 mm!. 
FIG. 24A shows a case of positioning the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b at closest 
and remotest distance to the neck 16, respectively, FIG. 24B shows a case 
of positioning the pair of magnetic pieces 7a, 7b at equal distance on 
both sides of the neck 16, and FIG. 24C shows a case of positioning the 
magnetic pieces 7a, 7b at remotest and closest distance to the neck 16, 
respectively. 
Table 2 shows the changes of XH axis deviation and YV axis deviation 
obtained by the interval of the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b, and FIG. 25 is a 
plotting thereof.

Unit: mm 
It is known from FIG. 25 that the XH axis deviation and YV axis deviation 
increase as the interval a of the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b is smaller. 
To correct the XH axis deviation, a convergence change of about 0.8 mm or 
10 more is required, and for this purpose, therefore, the interval a of 
the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b must be 45 mm or less. At this time, the change 
of YV axis deviation is about 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm or more. This change of YV 
axis deviation cannot practically be ignored, since it causes a noticeable 
disturbance in the quality of the convergence of the color image display 
device. 
As mentioned herein, in the conventional color image display device merely 
combining the 8-pole core 41 having subsidiary yoke 40 and the convergence 
correcting device 8 holding a pair of magnetic pieces 7a, 7b in order to 
correct XH axis deviation, it was difficult to control the changing amount 
of the YV axis deviation within a proper range while retaining the 
necessary correction amount of the XH axis deviation. The problem is the 
same also in the case of a winding vertical coma correcting coil 42 wound 
around the subsidiary yoke 40. 
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
A first aspect of the invention relates to a convergence correcting device 
for correcting convergence of a color image display device comprising a 
color picture tube having an inline type electron gun for generating three 
electron beams along a horizontal deflection axis, a deflection yoke for 
deflecting the electron beams along the horizontal deflection axis and a 
vertical deflection axis, and a subsidiary yoke composed of a multipolar 
core, disposed at the electron gun side of the deflection yoke. It further 
comprises a first pair of magnetic pieces movable along the horizontal 
deflection axis while mutually keeping a first interval, aligned with the 
electron gun on the horizontal deflection axis, and a second pair of 
magnetic pieces movable along the horizontal deflection axis while 
mutually keeping a second interval, aligned on the vertical deflection 
axis. Herein, the two distances from one and the other of the second pair 
of magnetic pieces to the electron gun are mutually equal, if moving along 
the horizontal deflection axis, so that a relative configuration of the 
first and second pairs of magnetic pieces may be maintained. 
In the convergence correcting device according to the first aspect of the 
invention, the first pair of magnetic pieces correct the XH axis 
deviation. The second pair of magnetic pieces cancel the YV axis deviation 
caused by this correction of XH axis deviation. 
Therefore, by properly setting the first and second intervals, when 
correcting the convergence deviation due to lateral imbalance of either 
the distribution of the vertical deflection magnetic field or the 
distribution of the horizontal deflection magnetic field, the effect on 
the other magnetic field distribution may be suppressed to a practically 
ignorable level. 
A second aspect conforms to the convergence correcting device of the first 
aspect, which further comprises a base body on which the first pair of 
magnetic pieces are mounted at the first interval, and the second pair of 
magnetic pieces are mounted at the second interval, and a handle attached 
to the base body. This base body is movable along the horizontal 
deflection axis. 
Therefore, the adjustment work for correction by the convergence correcting 
device is easy. 
A third aspect conforms to the convergence correcting device of the second 
aspect, which further comprises fixing means for fixing the base body at a 
desired position in a moving range along the horizontal deflection axis. 
Therefore, the convergence correcting device can be easily fixed at an 
optimum position after convergence correction, and the adjustment work for 
correction by the convergence correcting device is easier. 
A fourth aspect confirms to the convergence correcting device of the first 
aspect, in which the first pair of magnetic pieces are composed of ferrite 
material. 
Therefore, being applicable to a horizontal deflection magnetic field of 
high frequency, an excellent covergence correction is achieved. 
A fifth aspect conforms to the convergence correcting device of the first a 
spect, in which the second pair of magnetic pieces are composed of silicon 
steel plate. 
In the convergence correcting device according to the fifth aspect, a high 
frequency characteristic is not required in the second pair of magnaetic 
pieces. Therefore, even by using silicon steel plate, the convergence can 
be corrected, and the convergence correcting device can be realized at low 
cost. 
A sixth aspect conforms to the convergence correcting device of the first 
aspect, in which the first pair of magnetic pieces are long along the 
vertical deflection axis. 
Therefore, the first pair of magnetic pieces may have a great effect on the 
horizontal deflection magnetic field generated along the vertical 
deflection axis. 
A seventh aspect conforms to convergence correcting device of the first 
aspect, in which the second pair of magnetic pieces are long along the 
horizontal deflection axis. 
Therefore, the second pair of magnetic pieces may have a great effect on 
the vertical deflection magnetic field generated along the horizontal 
deflection axis. 
An eighth aspect conforms to the convergence correcting device of the first 
aspect, in which the convergence correcting device is disposed between the 
deflection yoke and the subsidiary yoke. 
A ninth aspect relates to a convergence correcting device for correcting 
convergence of a color image display device comprising a color picture 
tube having inline type electron gun for generating three electron beams 
along a horizontal deflection axis, a deflection yoke for deflecting the 
electron beams along the horizontal deflection axis and a vertical 
deflection axis, and a subsidiary yoke composed of a multipolar core, 
disposed at the electron gun side of the deflection yoke. It further 
comprises a pair of magnetic pieces movable along the horizontal 
deflection axis while mutually keeping a specific interval, aligned with 
the electron gun on the horizontal deflection axis, and a set of four 
magnetic pieces movable along the horizontal deflection axis, being 
disposed on each apex of a rectangle having a first pair of sides parallel 
to the vertical deflection axis, and a second pair of sides parallel to 
the horizontal deflection axis. Herein the two distances from the one and 
the other of the pair of magnetic pieces disposed at both ends of the 
first sides to the electron gun are mutually equal, if moving along the 
horizontal deflection axis, so that a relative configuration of the pair 
of magnetic pieces and the set of magnetic pieces may be maintained. 
In the convergence correcting device according to the ninth aspect of the 
invention, the pair of magnetic pieces correct the XH axis deviation. The 
set of magnetic pieces cancel the YV axis deviation caused by this 
correction of XH axis deviation. 
Therefore, by properly setting the specific interval and shape of the 
rectangle, when correcting the convergence deviation due to lateral 
imbalance of either distribution of vertical deflection magnetic field or 
distribution of horizontal deflection magnetic field, the effect on the 
other magnetic field distribution may be suppressed to a practically 
ignorable level. 
A tenth aspect conforms to the convergence correcting device of the ninth 
aspect, in which a vertical coma correcting coil is wound on the 
subsidiary yoke. 
In the convergence correcting device according to the tenth aspect, the 
convergence deviation can be corrected favorably also in the case of 
vertical coma correction. 
An eleventh aspect conforms to the convergence correcting device of the 
tenth aspect, which further comprises a base body on which the pair of 
magnetic pieces are mounted at the specific interval, and the set of 
magnetic pieces mounted on the position of each apex of the rectangle, and 
a handle attached to the base body. This base body is movable along the 
horizontal deflection axis. 
Therefore, the adjustment work for correction by the convergence correcting 
device is easy. 
A twelfth aspect conforms to the convergence correcting device of the tenth 
aspect, in which the pair of magnetic pieces are composed of ferrite 
material. 
Therefore, being applicable to a horizontal deflection magnetic field of 
high frequency, an excellent convergence correction is achieved. 
A thirteenth aspect conforms to the convergence correcting device of the 
tenth aspect, in which the set of magnetic pieces are composed of silicon 
steel plate. 
In the convergence correcting device according to the thirteenth aspect, a 
high frequency characteristic is not required in the set of magnetic 
pieces. Therefore, even by using silicon steel plate, the convergence can 
be corrected, and the convergence correcting device can be realized at low 
cost. 
A fourteenth aspect conform to the convergence correcting device of the 
tenth aspect, in which the pair of magnetic pieces are long along the 
vertical deflection axis. 
Therefore, the first of magnetic pieces may have a great effect on the 
horizontal deflection magnetic field generated along the vertical 
deflection axis. 
A fifteenth aspect conforms to convergence correcting device of the tenth 
aspect, in which the set of magnetic pieces are long along the horizontal 
deflection axis. 
Therefore, the set of magnetic pieces may have a great effect on the 
vertical deflection magnetic field generated along the horizontal 
deflection axis. 
A sixteenth aspect conforms to the convergence correcting device of the 
tenth aspect, in which the convergence correcting device is disposed 
between the deflection yoke and the subsidiary yoke. 
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a convergence 
correcting device for color image display device capable of correcting the 
XH axis deviation without causing YV axis deviation in a simple structure. 
This and other objects, features, aspects and advantages of the present 
invention will become more apparent from the following description of the 
present invention when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings 
.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
A. When a correcting coil is not wound on a subsidiary yoke: 
Preferred embodiment 1 
FIG. 1 is a front view showing a preferred embodiment of a convergence 
correcting device according to the invention, which is a schematic 
structural diagram as seen from the neck 16 side. FIG. 2 is a diagram 
observing the arrangement in FIG. 1 from a lateral side. 
Before executing the preferred embodiment 1 shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, as 
a method of solving the problems in the background arts, it was attempted 
to see what would happen if only a pair of magnetic pieces 10a, 10b for YV 
axis deviation correction were disposed, without disposing a pair of 
magnetic pieces 7a, 7b for XH axis deviation correction on the convergence 
correcting device 8 intended to correct XH axis deviation (first 
preliminary stage art). 
FIG. 3A is a front view showing a case of disposing the pair of magnetic 
pieces 10a, 10b for YV axis deviation correction. In the subsidiary yoke 
40, however, a vertical coma correcting coil 42 is not wound. 
The YV axis deviation is caused by lateral imbalance of distribution of a 
vertical deflection magnetic field 5. Therefore, to correct the YV axis 
deviation by magnetic pieces, in the same manner as in correction of XH 
axis deviation, the pair of magnetic pieces 10a, 10b are disposed so as to 
locate the electron beams between them on the vertical deflection axis as 
shown in FIG. 3A, and the convergence correcting device 8 capable of 
moving the pair of magnetic pieces 10a, 10b right and left along the 
horizontal deflection axis is disposed at the electron gun side end of the 
deflection S yoke 9. If moved right or left along the horizontal 
deflection axis, the distance from the magnetic piece 10a to the electron 
gun, and the distance from the magnetic piece 10b to the electron gun are 
always equal to each other. 
For example, when the pair of magnetic pieces 10a, 10b are moved to the 
right side as seen from the tube surface as shown in FIG. 3B, a lateral 
imbalance occurs in the vertical deflection magnetic field S. and as 
compared with the case of the pair of magnetic pieces 10a, 10b existing at 
symmetrical positions to the electron beam with respect to the horizontal 
deflection axis (supposing the red raster 3' and blue raster 4' to have 
been matched), a YV axis deviation occurs as shown in FIG. 3C. 
A comparison is made between the relation of the change of YV axis 
deviation and moving direction of magnetic pieces 7a, 7b in conventional 
correction of XH axis deviation shown in FIGS. 18A, 18B and 19, and the 
relation of the change of W axis deviation and moving direction of 
magnetic pieces 10a,10b in cancellation of YV axis deviation shown in 
FIGS. 3A to 3C. That is, comparing FIG. 19 and FIG. 3C, when the moving 
directions of the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b and the moving direction of the 
magnetic pieces 10a, 10b are the same, the changes of YV axis deviation 
are in opposite directions. 
It is therefore known that the constitution shown in FIG. 3A can be 
introduced as means for canceling the YV axis deviation accompanying XH 
axis deviation correction. 
Herein, the effect of canceling the YV axis deviation by using the magnetic 
pieces 10a, 10b was confirmed in the same condition as in the measurement 
of XH axis deviation correction effect as shown in the background art 
example one (the specification, configuration, and magnetic piece 
inserting position in the subsidiary yoke 40 S having 8-pole core 41). 
The pair of magnetic pieces 10a, 10b are made of two pieces of silicon 
steel plates (30.times.3 mm, 0.5 mm thick), the moving range a of magnetic 
pieces 10a, 10b is respectively .+-.3 mm and .+-.4 mm, and the magnetic 
piece position x was arranged as parameter. The interval of the magnetic 
pieces 10a, 10b is 2x+33mm!. 
FIG. 5A shows the magnetic pieces 10a, 10b confronting both sides at the 
center of the neck 16, FIG. 5B at the leftmost side of the neck 16, and 
FIG. 5C at the rightmost side of the neck 16. 
Table 3 shows the changing amount of convergence in terms of the position x 
and moving range a of the magnetic pieces 10a, 10b. FIG. 6 is plotting of 
the result in Table 3.

As known from Table 3 and FIG. 6, it is known that the correction amount of 
YV axis deviation and changing amount of XH axis deviation increase as the 
interval of the magnetic pieces 10a, 10b is narrower (x is smaller) and 
the moving range is wider (a is greater). 
The correction amount of YV axis deviation measured is the above condition 
is a change as shown in FIG. 4 when the magnetic pieces 10a, 10b are 
moved, for example, to the right as seen from the tube surface as shown in 
FIG. 3B, and the XH axis deviation also changes. However, as known from 
comparison of FIG. 19 and FIG. 4, the changing direction of the XH axis 
deviation when attempted to correct the YV axis deviation is reverse to 
the changing direction of the XH axis deviation when attempted to correct 
the XH axis deviation. 
As explained in the background art 1, to correct the XH axis deviation, a 
convergence change of about 0.8 mm or more is needed, and to achieve it by 
using the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b, a change of about 0.1 mm occurs in the 
YV axis deviation. When it is canceled by the magnetic pieces 10a, 10b, it 
is known from FIG. 6 that the XH axis deviation is changed about O.OS mm. 
This is a very small value as compared with the amount of XH axis 
deviation to be corrected (0.8 mm), and there is almost no effect of 
decreasing the correction amount (it is rather not necessary to consider 
the decreasing amount if the correction amount of the XH axis deviation is 
set to a large value). 
In the deflection yoke 9 having a multipolar core (for example, 8-pole core 
41) in the rear part, as shown in FIG. 18A, the YV axis deviation is 
changed by the correction of XH axis deviation performed by disposing the 
magnetic pieces 7a, 7b on the convergence correcting device 8 movable on 
the horizontal deflection axis. It has been confirmed that this YV axis 
deviation can be effectively canceled by further disposing the magnetic 
pieces 10a, 10b on the convergence correcting device 8 so as to set the 
electron beams between them on the vertical deflection axis, and properly 
selecting the size of the magnetic pieces 10a, 10b, and distance from the 
horizontal deflection axis. 
Referring back to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the preferred embodiment 1 of the 
invention is described below. In FIG. 1, the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b for XH 
axis deviation correction as first pair of magnetic pieces, and magnetic 
pieces 10a, 10b for YV axis deviation cancellation as second pair of 
magnetic pieces are disposed on a convergence correcting device 30a which 
is a same magnetic piece holding member. 
In the convergence correcting device 30a, the neck 16 of the inline type 
color picture tube is inserted nearly in the middle, and a long slot 11 is 
provided in the horizontal deviation axial direction so as to be movable 
along the horizontal deviation axis. 
Supposing the possible correction amount of the XH axis deviation to be 0.8 
mm, when the movable range of the magnetic pieces (of the convergence 
correcting device 30a of the holding member of magnetic pieces) is too 
narrow, fine adjustment is difficult, and when too wide, it requires a 
wide space, and hence .+-.3 mm may be preferred. 
To satisfy the above condition, considering the results of the measurement 
above, the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b for correction of XH axis deviation were 
rectangular ferrite plates of 30.times.5 mm and thickness of 1 mm, 
disposed at an interval of 39 mm, and magnetic pieces 10a, 10b for 
cancellation of YV axis deviation were rectangular silicon steel plates of 
30.times.3 mm and thickness of 0.5 mm, disposed at an interval of 39 mm. 
As for the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b for XH axis deviation, since it is 
intended to induce a lateral imbalance in the horizontal deflection 
magnetic field of high frequency, it is preferred to use a ferrite 
material of excellent frequency characteristic. It is hence applicable to 
the color image display device of multiscan system of high horizontal 
deflection frequency which is being developed recently. It is also 
preferred to be long in the direction along the horizontal deflection 
magnetic field (along the vertical deflection axis). It is for the purpose 
of giving 20 an effective effect on the horizontal deflection magnetic 
field. 
As for the magnetic pieces 10a, 10b for cancellation of YV axis deviation, 
since it is intended to induce a lateral imbalance in the vertical 
deflection magnetic field of low frequency, the frequency characteristic 
is not demanded excessively, and hence a silicon steel plate is used. As a 
result, the YV axis deviation can be canceled at low cost. It is preferred 
to be long in the direction along the vertical deflection magnetic field 
(along the horizontal deflection axis). This is for giving an effective 
effect on the vertical deflection magnetic field. 
Incidentally, nothing specific is mentioned about the mounting method of 
the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b for correction of XH axis deviation and 
magnetic pieces 5 lea, 1Ob for cancellation of YV axis deviation on the 
convergence correcting device 30a, any method may be selected as long as 
fixing is secure. 
The subsidiary yoke 40 comprising the 8-pole core 41 is disposed at the 
electron gun side from the convergence correcting device 30a as shown in 
FIG. 2, and its configuration is same as in the measuring condition 
explained in the background art example one (the interval of horizontal 
deflection coil and 8-pole core 41 is 10 mm, and the interval of magnetic 
pieces 7a, 7b, 10a, 10b and horizontal deflection coil is 6 mm). 
The convergence correcting device 30a holding the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b, 
10a, 10b has a hole 11 long (in the length of the desired moving range) in 
the horizontal deflection axial direction and having a width of about the 
outside diameter of the neck 16, and therefore lateral movement along the 
horizontal deflection axis is done without being influenced by the neck 
16. 
The convergence correcting device 30a is mounted on the deflection yoke 9 
so as to be movable right and left without rotating about the tube axis or 
inclining (the device for this purpose is not shown herein). 
Using the thus arranged convergence correcting device 30a, by correcting 
the XH axis deviation, the possible correction extent of the XH axis 
deviation, the changing amount of YV axis deviation, and changes of 
distortion (vertical and lateral pins and trapezoidal distortion) were 
measured, and as a result it is shown that the XH axis deviation could be 
corrected by a maximum of 0.8 mm, and the change of YV axis deviation was 
controlled within a practically ignorable level of 0.05 mm or less (nearly 
0 mm). 
Although measured data of distortion is not shown, changes were within 0.1% 
in both vertical and lateral pins and trapezoidal distortion. 
As for the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b and magnetic pieces 10a, 10b, the size, 
position and moving range are not particularly defined, but may be 
properly determined depending on the correcting amount of the XH axis 
deviation, and canceling amount of the YV axis deviation change. 
Basically, first the size, position and moving range of the magnetic pieces 
7a,7b are determined to conform to the XH axis deviation correcting amount 
desired by the designer. Then, depending on the changing amount of the YV 
axis deviation to be canceled, the size and position of the magnetic 
pieces 10a, 10b should be determined. 
This is the case of correction of XH axis deviation correction due to 
lateral imbalance of the distribution of horizontal deflection magnetic 
field, and when applied to correction of YV axis deviation due to lateral 
imbalance of distribution of vertical deflection magnetic field, contrary 
to the determining method above, first the size, position and moving range 
of the magnetic pieces 10a, 10b are determined to conform to the 
correction amount desired by the designer, and then the size and position 
of the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b are determined depending on the amount of XH 
axis deviation to be canceled. In such technique, as a matter of course, 
the YV axis deviation can be corrected while suppressing change of XH axis 
deviation. 
Preferred embodiment 2 
FIG. 7 shows a convergence correcting device 30b adding handles 12a, 12b to 
the convergence correcting device 30a holding the pair of magnetic pieces 
in preferred embodiment 1. 
By employing such constitution, the convergence correcting device 30b can 
be moved easily, and the working efficiency enhanced. 
The size, shape, mounting position, and number of handles 12a, 12b are not 
particularly defined, but may be properly determined depending on the 
working efficiency and available space or the like. 
Preferred embodiment 3 
FIG. 8 shows a convergence correcting device 30c adding fixing means 50 to 
the convergence correcting device, so as to be fixed at a desired position 
in the horizontal axial direction, in preferred embodiment 2. 
The fixing means 50 is composed of plural notches or grooves 51 provided at 
the side of the convergence correcting device 30c, and locking members to 
be engaged with the notches or grooves 51. 
The locking members 52 are pressed elastically to the notches or grooves 51 
by a mechanism not shown herein, and therefore the convergence correcting 
device 30c can be moved in the horizontal deflection axial direction, and 
is fixed at a position where the locking members 52 are engaged with the 
notches or grooves 51. 
According to this preferred embodiment, therefore, the convergence 
correcting device 30c can be fixed at an optimum position or its vicinity 
for correction of deviation of convergence, so that the working efficiency 
may be enhanced. 
B. When correcting coil is wound on subsidiary yoke: 
Preferred embodiment 4 
FIG. 9 is a front view showing a different preferred embodiment of a 
convergence correcting device according to the invention, being a 
schematic structural diagram as seen from the neck 16 side. FIG. 10 is a 
lateral view of the constitution shown in FIG. 9. 
Prior to description of preferred embodiment 4 shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, 
as an advance study for solving the problems of the background arts, as 
shown in FIG. 3A, it was investigated what would happen when only the pair 
of magnetic pieces 10a, 10b for correction YV axis deviation were disposed 
in the convergence correcting device 8 for the purpose of correction of XH 
axis deviation of the background arts (second preliminary stage art). 
Different from the preferred embodiment group A, the vertical coma 
correcting coil 42 is wound on the subsidiary yoke 41 as in the background 
art example two, and current is flowing. 
Same as in the first preliminary stage art, the magnetic pieces lea, fob 
are disposed, and the convergence correcting device 8 movable right and 
left along the horizontal deflection axis is disposed at the electron gun 
side end of the deflection yoke 9. 
Using the pair of magnetic pieces 10a, 10b made of silicon steel plate of 
30.times.mm and 0.5 mm in thickness, the correcting effect of YV axis 
deviation was measured in the same conditions as in measurement of 
correcting effect of XH axis deviation shown in the background art 2 (the 
specification, configuration, and magnetic piece inserting position of 
8-pole core 41), and the change as shown in FIG. 3C was obtained same as 
explained in the first preliminary stage art. Although not shown in the 
drawing, the XH axis deviation was also changed slightly. 
However, since the correcting coil 41 is wound, the phenomenon in the 
second preliminary stage art is different from that of the first 
preliminary stage art. Comparison is made between the relation of change 
of YV axis deviation and moving direction of magnetic pieces 7a, 7b in 
correction of XH axis deviation, and the relation of change of YV axis 
deviation and moving direction of magnetic pieces 10a, 10b in cancellation 
of YV axis deviation. That is, comparing FIG. 23 and FIG. 3C, when the 
moving directions of magnetic pieces 7a, 7b and magnetic pieces 10a, 10b 
are the same, the changes of YV axis deviation are the same. Therefore, 
provision of magnetic pieces 10a, 10b causes to increase further the YV 
axis deviation, and hence the magnetic pieces 10a, 10b are judged to be 
improper as the means for canceling the YV axis deviation caused by 
correction of XH axis deviation done by the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b. 
Incidentally, in the motion of the magnetic pieces 10a, 10b in correction 
of YV axis deviation correction shown in FIG. 3A, when the convergence 
correcting device 8 with the holding plate for holding the magnetic pieces 
10a, 10b is moved from the symmetrical position (center of tube axis), the 
configuration is such that the magnetic pieces 10a, 10b are remote from 
the center of symmetricity. Therefore, when configured so that the 
magnetic pieces 10a, 10b may be closer to the center of symmetricity when 
the magnetic piece holding plate (that is, the convergence correcting 
device 8) is shifted from the symmetrical position, the change of YV axis 
deviation seems to be opposite to the case shown in FIG. 3C. 
To realize such change of YV axis deviation, as shown in FIG. 11, four 20 
magnetic pieces 20a to 20d are disposed to set the electron beams between 
two of them on diagonal lines, symmetrically to the vertical deflection 
axis and horizontal deflection axis. That is, the magnetic pieces 20a, 20b 
are arranged on a side parallel to the horizontal deflection axis, the 
magnetic pieces 20c, 20d are arranged on other side parallel to the 
horizontal deflection axis, the magnetic pieces 20a, 20d are arranged on a 
side parallel to the vertical deflection axis, and the magnetic pieces 
20b, 20c are arranged on other side parallel to the vertical deflection 
axis. That is, the magnetic pieces 20a to 20d are arranged on each apex of 
a rectangle. If they are moved right and left along the horizontal 
deflection axis, the distance from the magnetic piece 20a to the electron 
gun and the distance from the magnetic piece 20d to the electron gun are 
equal to each other. Besides, the distance from the magnetic piece 20b to 
the electron gun and the distance from the magnetic piece 20c to the 
electron gun are also equal to each other. 
The four magnetic pieces 20a to 20d are desired to be long in a direction 
along the vertical deflection magnetic field (along the horizontal 
deflection axis). This is for giving an effective effect on the vertical 
deflection magnetic field. 
Incidentally, using the four magnetic pieces in the constitution in FIG. 
11, the effect of canceling the YV axis deviation was investigated in the 
same conditions as in the measurement of correction effect of XH axis 
deviation shown in the background art 2 (the specification, configuration, 
and magnetic piece inserting position of the 8-pole core 41). 
The four magnetic pieces 20a to 20d for correction of YV axis deviation 
were made of silicon steel plate (15.times.3 mm, 0.5 mm thick), the 
movable range of the magnetic pieces was .+-.2.5 mm, and the parameters 
were the longitudinal interval a and transverse interval b of the magnetic 
pieces. Modes of measurement are 20 shown in FIGS. 13A to 13C, and results 
of measurement are recorded in Table 4. It is known from Table 4 that the 
canceling amount of the YV axis deviation tends to increase as the 
intervals a, b of the magnetic pieces are narrower.

The change of YV axis deviation measured in the condition above is as shown 
in FIG. 12 when the magnetic pieces are moved to the right side as seen 
from the tube surface, for example, same as in FIG. 3B, and comparing FIG. 
19 and FIG. 12, it known that the change of the YV axis deviation is in 
reverse direction when the direction of the electron beams in the moving 
direction of the magnetic pieces 7a,7b is matched with the moving 
direction of the four magnetic pieces 20a to 20d arranged in a rectangular 
form on the diagonal lines. 
Therefore, as the means for canceling the change of the YV axis deviation, 
it is known effective to arrange the four correcting magnetic pieces in a 
rectangular form on diagonal lines to fold the electron beams in them as 
shown in FIG. 11. 
Moreover, as clear from FIG. 12, the XH axis deviation is also changed, and 
its direction is the decreasing direction of the correction amount of the 
XH axis deviation. As evident from Table 2 and FIG. 25, the amount of YV 
axis deviation to be canceled occurring in order to obtain the necessary 
correction amount (0.8 mm) of the XH axis deviation is about 0.1 mm or 
more, and this is satisfied throughout in the measuring conditions above. 
Yet, the change of XH axis deviation occurring when canceling the YV axis 
deviation of this amount is about 0.1 mm or less as known from Table 4. 
Hence, there is no problem when the correction amount of the XH axis 
deviation is preliminarily set larger by this 10 decreasing amount. 
Hence, in the deflection yoke 9 having the subsidiary yoke composed of a 
multipolar core for vertical coma correction provided in the rear part, it 
has been confirmed that the change of YV axis deviation caused by 
correction of the XH axis deviation by using the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b 
can be effectively canceled by disposing the four magnetic pieces 20a to 
20d arranged to set the electron beams on diagonal lines symmetrically to 
the vertical deflection axis and horizontal deflection axis, and properly 
selecting the size and distance from the tube axis of the magnetic pieces 
20a to 20d. 
The preferred embodiment 4 of the invention is described by referring to 
FIG. 9 and FIG. 10. In FIG. 9, the pair of magnetic pieces 7a, 7b for 
correction of XH axis deviation, and four magnetic pieces 20a to 20d for 
canceling the change of YV axis deviation are arranged on the convergence 
correcting device 30d. The pair of magnetic pieces 7a, 7b are disposed to 
hold the electron beams on both sides on the horizontal deflection axis, 
and the magnetic pieces 20a to 20d are disposed to set the electron beams 
between two of them on diagonal lines, in a rectangular form at specified 
intervals in the vertical deflection axial direction and horizontal 
deflection axial direction. 
In the convergence correcting device 30d, the neck 16 of the inline type 
color picture tube is inserted nearly in the middle, and a slot 11 long in 
the horizontal deflection axial direction is provided so as to be movable 
along the horizontal deflection axis. 
FIG. 10 shows the configuration the deflection yoke 9, convergence 
correcting device 30d, and subsidiary yoke 40 with multipolar core for 
vertical coma correction of the preferred embodiment in the tube axial 
direction. 
In the convergence correcting device 30d as shown in FIG. 9, supposing the 
possible correcting extent of the XH axis deviation to be 1.0 mm, if the 
movable range x of the magnetic pieces is too small, fine adjustment is 
difficult, and if too wide, it takes a wide area, and hence it was set at 
+2.5 mm. 
To satisfy such conditions, judging from the results of measurement shown 
in Table 4, the magnetic pieces 7a,7b for correction of XH axis deviation 
were ferrite plates of 30.times.5 mm in size and 1 mm in thickness, 
disposed at an interval of 42 mm, and the four magnetic pieces 20a to 20d 
for cancellation of YV axis deviation were silicon steel plates of 
15.times.3 mm in size and 0.5 mm in thickness, at a longitudinal interval 
of 40 mm and a transverse interval of 37 mm. 
The fixing method of the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b and 20a to 20d on the 
convergence correcting device 30 is not specifically defined, but they 
should be fixed firmly. 
The subsidiary yoke 40 composed of 8-pole core is disposed at the electron 
gun side from the convergence correcting device 30d as shown in FIG. 10, 
and the configuration is same as the measuring condition explained in the 
background art 2. 
The location of the convergence correcting device 30d is not limited 
between the subsidiary yoke 40 and deflection yoke 9, but may be disposed 
at the electron gun side of the subsidiary yoke 40, and the same effects 
are obtained. 
The size, position and moving range of the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b, 20a to 
20d are not particularly defined, but may be determined properly depending 
on the correction amount of XH axis deviation and canceling amount of W 
axis deviation. 
Basically, first the size, position and moving range of the magnetic pieces 
7a,7b are determined to conform to the XH axis deviation correcting amount 
desired by the designer, and then, depending on the canceling amount of 
the W axis deviation, the size and position of the magnetic pieces 20a to 
20d should be determined. 
As for the magnetic pieces 7a, 7b, 20a to 20d, in order to minimize the 
increase of dimension of the convergence correcting device 30d holding 
them in the tube axial direction, a plate form is disposed parallel to the 
tube axis in the thickness direction. 
As for the four magnetic pieces 20a to 20d, same as in the magnetic pieces 
lea, 10b in the preferred embodiment 1, silicon steel plates are extended 
in the direction along the vertical deflection magnetic field, and hence 
the W axis deviation can be canceled effectively and at low cost. 
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9, by attaching handles 12a, 12b to the 
convergence correcting device 30d, same as in the preferred embodiment 2, 
the working efficiency is enhanced in correction of axial deviation of 
convergence by moving the convergence correcting device 30d in the 
horizontal direction. Of course, the size, shape, position and number of 
the handles are not particularly limited, but may be determined as 
required. 
When the XH axis deviation is corrected by the use of the convergence 
correcting device 30d with the structure shown in FIG. 9, the possible 
correction amount of the XH axis deviation and the changing amount of the 
YV axis deviation are measured. At the same time, in correcting the XH 
axis deviation, influences on the misconvergences and the distortions at 
corners, axis ends and the center are measured as well. More specifically, 
the moving amount of B with respect to R (shown by R-&gt;B in figure) and 
moving amount of G with respect to the middle point between R and B 
(RB-&gt;G) are measured to see the influence on the misconvergences, while 
the changing amount of pin distortions in all directions and the changing 
amounts of trapezoidal distortions are measured to see the influence on 
distortions. 
The results are shown in Table 5 and Table 6. As for XH axis deviation 
(moving amount of X axis end in X direction of R-&gt;B), correction of 1.15 
mm is possible, and on the other hand as for the W axis deviation (moving 
amount of Y axis end in Y direction of R-&gt;B), it was canceled and 
suppressed to 0.05 mm or less (nearly 0 mm).

Concerning distortion, the change was within 0.1% in both vertical and

While the invention has been shown and described in detail, the foregoing 
description is in all aspects illustrative and not restrictive. It is 
therefore understood that numerous modifications and variations can be 
devised without departing from the scope of the invention.
