Abstract
Abstract A television image projecting system for projecting a television image on a screen at a magnified scale includes a plurality of projector systems of different colors sealed in one cathode ray tube. Electron beams of the projector systems are simultaneously deflected by a common deflecting device and spherical reflecting mirrors of the projecting systems are disposed closely to each other to partially overlap each other, and the overlapped portions are removed. The plurality of projector systems are in-line arranged, whereby color-stability and color balance over a wide range are attained.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
A television image projecting system comprising a plurality of projector systems and a cathode ray tube, each of said projector systems including: a phosphor target at one end of said cathode ray tube for displaying a television image thereon, an electron gun at the other end of said cathode ray tube for radiating an electron beam onto said phosphor target, and a Schmidt optical system arranged at the rear of said target and having at least a spherical mirror for projecting the television image on said phosphor target onto a screen located at a distance from said television image projecting system, all of said phosphor targets, electron guns and spherical mirrors of said plurality of projectors being accommodated in said single common cathode ray tube.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
125 words
A television image projecting system comprising a plurality of projector systems and a cathode ray tube, each of said projector systems including: a phosphor target at one end of said cathode ray tube for displaying a television image thereon, an electron gun at the other end of said cathode ray tube for radiating an electron beam onto said phosphor target, and a Schmidt optical system arranged at the rear of said target and having at least a spherical mirror for projecting the television image on said phosphor target onto a screen located at a distance from said television image projecting system, all of said phosphor targets, electron guns and spherical mirrors of said plurality of projectors being accommodated in said single common cathode ray tube.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
A television image projecting system according to claim 1 further including a common deflector which simultaneously deflects the electron beams of said plurality of projector systems.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
62 words
A television image projecting system according to claim 2 wherein the electron guns of said projector systems are arranged and oriented such that when the operation of all of the deflection means to said electron beams stops all of the electron beams from the electron guns of said projector systems are radiated onto centers of said phosphor targets of said projector systems.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
89 words
A television image projecting system according to claim 2 wherein the electron guns of said projector systems are arranged and oriented such that when the operation of all of the deflection means to said electron beams stops, all of the electron beams from the electron guns of said projector systems are radiated on positions displaced by the same distance in the same distance in the same direction from respective phosphor targets, and which further comprises correction means for causing electromagnetically said electron beams to impinge onto said phosphor targets.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
52 words
A television image projecting system according to claim 4 further including means for controlling said correction means in response to a correction current, the magnitude of which changes in accordance with the change in the electron beam accelerating high voltage for suppressing the shift of the television images on said phosphor targets.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
40 words
A television image projecting system according to claim 1 wherein said projector systems are arranged closely to each other such that said spherical reflecting mirrors of said projector systems partially overlap with each other and the overlapped portions are removed.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
30 words
A television image projecting system according to claim 6 further including shield plates mounted at the boundaries of the spherical reflecting mirrors of adjacent projector systems to interrupt light therebetween.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
46 words
A television image projecting system according to claim 6 wherein said sperical reflecting mirrors are partially removed such that the contour of said spherical reflecting mirrors and the arrangement of said spherical reflecting mirrors and said phosphor targets are analogous for all of said projector systems.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
31 words
A television image projecting system according to claim 6 wherein those portions of the spherical reflecting mirrors which face shorter sides of said phosphor targets of said projector systems are removed.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
53 words
A television image projecting system according to claim 6 wherein those portions of said spherical reflecting mirrors which face shorter sides of said phosphor targets of said projector systems are removed, and said spherical reflecting mirrors of adjacent projector systems are in-line arranged such that the removed edges are disposed side by side.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
26 words
A television image projecting system according to claim 6 further including a common deflector which simultaneously deflects the electron beams of said plurality of projector systems.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
48 words
A television image projecting system according to claim 6 wherein those portions of said spherical reflecting mirrors which face shorter sides of said phosphor targets of said projector systems are removed, and a deflector which commonly deflects the electron beams of said plurality of projecting systems is provided.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
70 words
A television image projecting system according to claim 6 wherein those portions of said spherical reflecting mirrors which face shorter side of said phosphor targets of said projector systems are removed, the spherical reflecting mirrors of adjacent projector systems are in-line arranged such that the removed edges are disposed side by side, and a deflection means for commonly deflecting said electron beams of said plurality of projector systems is provided.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
30 words
A television image projecting system according to claim 1 wherein said phosphor targets and said spherical reflecting mirrors of said plurality of projector systems are in-line arranged on one plane.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
43 words
A television image projecting system according to claim 14 wherein said electron guns of said plurality of projector systems are in-line arranged on a plane which is orthogonal to a plane on which said phosphor targets and said spherical reflecting mirrors are arranged.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
26 words
A television image projecting system according to claim 14 further including a deflector means for commonly deflecting the electron beams of said plurality of projector systems.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
57 words
A television image projection system according to claim 1 wherein said plurality of projector systems are arranged such that all of the projecting optical axes thereof are parallel, and which further comprises means for shifting the positions of the television images on said phosphor targets to superimpose the television images of the projector systems on said screen.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim
44 words
A television image projecting system according to claim 17 wherein said projector systems are arranged closely to each other such that the spherical reflecting mirrors of adjacent projector systems partially overlap each other, and the overlapped portions of the spherical reflecting mirror are removed.
