Abstract
Abstract A cathode ray tube including first and second cathodes mounted parallel to each other in the horizontal direction, and a deflecting device disposed along the passages of the first and second electron beams which are emitted from the first and second cathodes so as to apply to the first and second electron beams a rotational force with the axis of the tube as its center, and whereby the first and second electron beams impinge on the phosphor screen at positions which are spaced apart from each other by a distance of approximately half the distance between adjacent scanning lines in the vertical direction.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
A cathode ray tube with a phosphor screen comprising: first and second cathodes mounted on a horizontal line parallel to each other, and deflecting means through which first and second electron beams emitted from said first and second cathodes pass mounted so as to apply to said first and second electron beams a rotational force about the center of the tube axis, whereby said first and second electron beams impinge on said phosphor screen at positions which are vertically spaced apart from each other by a distance of approximately half the distance between adjacent scan lines.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
96 words
A cathode ray tube with a phosphor screen comprising: first and second cathodes mounted on a horizontal line parallel to each other, and deflecting means through which first and second electron beams emitted from said first and second cathodes pass mounted so as to apply to said first and second electron beams a rotational force about the center of the tube axis, whereby said first and second electron beams impinge on said phosphor screen at positions which are vertically spaced apart from each other by a distance of approximately half the distance between adjacent scan lines.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
A cathode ray tube according to claim 1, in which said deflecting means comprises electrostatic deflection plates.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
A cathode ray tube according to claim 1, in which said deflecting means comprises a quadrupole magnet.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
A cathode ray tube according to claim 1, in which said deflecting means comprises a solenoid coil.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
123 words
A cathode ray tube with a phosphor screen in which the image is improved comprising: a pair of electron guns with a pair of cathodes for generating a pair of electron beams and said pair of cathodes mounted parallel to each other on a horizontal line and spaced apart a fixed distance, and electron beam deflecting means through which said pair of electron beams pass mounted so as to apply to said electron beams a rotational force about the center of the tube axis, whereby said electron beams form scanning spots on said phosphor screen which fall on a vertical line and wherein the scanning spots are separated vertically by a distance approximately equal to one half the distance between adjacent scan lines.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
123 words
A cathode ray tube with a phosphor screen in which the image is improved comprising: a pair of electron guns with a pair of cathodes for generating a pair of electron beams and said pair of cathodes mounted parallel to each other on a horizontal line and spaced apart a fixed distance, and electron beam deflecting means through which said pair of electron beams pass mounted so as to apply to said electron beams a rotational force about the center of the tube axis, whereby said electron beams form scanning spots on said phosphor screen which fall on a vertical line and wherein the scanning spots are separated vertically by a distance approximately equal to one half the distance between adjacent scan lines.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
45 words
A cathode ray tube according to claim 5 wherein said electron beam deflection means comprises planar electrostatic deflection plates which are parallel to each other and which lie in planes displaced from the vertical by an angle greater than zero but not more than 5°.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
15 words
A cathode ray tube according to claim 5 wherein said deflecting means comprises an electromagnet.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
79 words
A cathode ray tube according to claim 7 including means for generating a control current for said electromagnet so that the proper vertical spacing of said scanning spots occur over the entire phosphor screen and including a memory means in which said control current for locations of the phosphor screen are stored and supplied to said deflecting means to produce spots on said screen which fall on the same vertical line and are spaced a fixed vertical distance apart.
