Abstract

Abstract A beam-indexing color image-presentation cathode ray tube comprises color-phosphor stripes arranged in a regular order and differently responsive to impingement by electron beams to produce light of different colors and index-phosphor stripes arranged to have a predetermined geometric relation to the color-phosphor stripes and responsive to impingement by the electron beams to produce index signals, in which the index-phosphor stripes comprises a first index-phosphor stripe, a second index-phosphor stripe and a third index-phosphor stripe, the pitch of the second index-phosphor stripe is three times as large as the pitch of the third index-phosphor stripe, and the first index-phosphor stripe is wider in its width than the second index-phosphor stripe.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 109 words
A beam-indexing color image-presentation cathode-ray tube comprising color-phosphor stripes arranged in a regular order and differently responsive to impingement by electron beams to produce light of different colors and index-phosphor stripes arranged in a predetermined geometric relation to the color-phosphor stripes and responsive to impingement by the electron beam to produce index signals, in which said index-phosphor stripes comprise a first index-phosphor stripe, a second index-phosphor stripe and a third index-phosphor stripe, the pitch of the second index-phosphor stripe being three times as large as the pitch of said third index-phosphor stripe, and the width of the first index-phosphor stripe being about twice that of the second index-phosphor stripe.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 109 words
A beam-indexing color image-presentation cathode-ray tube comprising color-phosphor stripes arranged in a regular order and differently responsive to impingement by electron beams to produce light of different colors and index-phosphor stripes arranged in a predetermined geometric relation to the color-phosphor stripes and responsive to impingement by the electron beam to produce index signals, in which said index-phosphor stripes comprise a first index-phosphor stripe, a second index-phosphor stripe and a third index-phosphor stripe, the pitch of the second index-phosphor stripe being three times as large as the pitch of said third index-phosphor stripe, and the width of the first index-phosphor stripe being about twice that of the second index-phosphor stripe.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 25 words
A beam-indexing color image-presentation cathode-ray tube according to claim 1, in which the first index-phosphor stripe is twice the width of the second index-phosphor stripe.
