Abstract

Abstract A triple tube type projection television projects images of blue, green and red projecting tubes onto a screen by lenses disposed in front of the respective projecting tubes, and synthesizes the images by the three projecting tubes on the screen to provide a color image. The projection television comprises a device for offsetting intersection points between the screen and the optical axes of lenses on both sides of a central lens outside from the intersection point between the screen and the optical axis of the central lens; and a device for dislocating the centers of the projecting tubes on both sides outside from the optical axes of the lenses thereof.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 150 words
A triple tube type projection television for projecting images from blue, green and red projecting tubes onto a screen by lenses disposed in front of the respective projecting tubes and synthesizing the images from said three projecting tubes on the screen to provide a color image, wherein: intersection points between the screen and respective ones of the optical axes of lenses on both sides of a central lens are offset outwardly from the intersection point between the screen and the optical axis of the central lens; tube centers of the projecting tubes on said both sides are dislocated outwardly from the optical axes of the lenses therefor; said triple tube type projection television comprising: cooling means coupled to said projecting tubes in order to proved adequate cooling thereof; and means for applying an external magnetic field to said projecting tubes in order to supplementally adjust the images on the screen.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 150 words
A triple tube type projection television for projecting images from blue, green and red projecting tubes onto a screen by lenses disposed in front of the respective projecting tubes and synthesizing the images from said three projecting tubes on the screen to provide a color image, wherein: intersection points between the screen and respective ones of the optical axes of lenses on both sides of a central lens are offset outwardly from the intersection point between the screen and the optical axis of the central lens; tube centers of the projecting tubes on said both sides are dislocated outwardly from the optical axes of the lenses therefor; said triple tube type projection television comprising: cooling means coupled to said projecting tubes in order to proved adequate cooling thereof; and means for applying an external magnetic field to said projecting tubes in order to supplementally adjust the images on the screen.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 222 words
A projection type TV comprising: a screen; first, second, and third projecting tubes for projecting three respective different color images on said screen to form a color TV image, each of said projecting tubes having a face; three lenses intermediate said three projecting tubes and said screen and associated respectively with said three projecting tubes for conforming said images onto said screen, each of said lenses having an optical axis; said first of said projecting tubes having an associated lens positioned to cause the optical axis of said lens to intersect said screen at a central point; each of said second and third of said projecting tubes having associated lenses being positioned as outside projecting tubes and lenses as follows: said outside lens positioned to cause its optical axis to intersect said screen offset form said central point; said outside projecting tube positioned at an angle with respect to its associated lens; and said outside projecting tube having its respective center offset from the point of intersection of the axis of said associated lens and the respective projecting tube faces; said projection type TV further comprising: cooling means coupled to said projecting tubes in order to provide adequate cooling thereof; and means for applying an external magnetic field to said projecting tubes in order to supplementally adjust the images on the screen.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 222 words
A projection type TV comprising: a screen; first, second, and third projecting tubes for projecting three respective different color images on said screen to form a color TV image, each of said projecting tubes having a face; three lenses intermediate said three projecting tubes and said screen and associated respectively with said three projecting tubes for conforming said images onto said screen, each of said lenses having an optical axis; said first of said projecting tubes having an associated lens positioned to cause the optical axis of said lens to intersect said screen at a central point; each of said second and third of said projecting tubes having associated lenses being positioned as outside projecting tubes and lenses as follows: said outside lens positioned to cause its optical axis to intersect said screen offset form said central point; said outside projecting tube positioned at an angle with respect to its associated lens; and said outside projecting tube having its respective center offset from the point of intersection of the axis of said associated lens and the respective projecting tube faces; said projection type TV further comprising: cooling means coupled to said projecting tubes in order to provide adequate cooling thereof; and means for applying an external magnetic field to said projecting tubes in order to supplementally adjust the images on the screen.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 88 words
A projection type TV as claimed in claim 2 wherein an angle θ formed between the optical axis of the lens associated with said first projecting tube and the optical axis of the lens associated with either of said second or third projecting tubes, and an angle α formed between a plane parallel to the face of an outside projecting tube and a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of its associated lens, substantially satisfy the following relationship: ##EQU1## where m is the magnification of said outside lens.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 31 words
A projection type TV as claimed in claim 3 wherein said first projecting tube projects a green image and said second and third projecting tubes project red and blue images respectively.
