Abstract

Abstract A color reference CRT of the type employing a screen of a pattern of individual phosphor elements of different color components, is produced by adjusting the screen weights of the different color components to achieve the desired reference color when the screen is scanned by an electron beam of predetermined beam current and anode potential.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 83 words
Color reference CRT comprising a screen of a pattern of individual phosphor elements of different component color fields, and at least one electron gun for generating at least one electron beam, characterized in that the relative screen weights of the different color components are predetermined to result in a single, invariant standard color when the screen is scanned by an electron beam of predetermined beam current and anode voltage, the color being the integrated output of the separate outputs of the component colors.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 83 words
Color reference CRT comprising a screen of a pattern of individual phosphor elements of different component color fields, and at least one electron gun for generating at least one electron beam, characterized in that the relative screen weights of the different color components are predetermined to result in a single, invariant standard color when the screen is scanned by an electron beam of predetermined beam current and anode voltage, the color being the integrated output of the separate outputs of the component colors.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 23 words
The CRT of claim 1 in which the sizes of the individual phosphor elements of the component color fields are substantially the same.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 35 words
The CRT of claim 1 in which the sizes of the individual phosphor elements of the component color fields all vary by substantially the same amount from the center to the edges of the screen.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 15 words
The CRT of claim 1 in which the screen comprises three interlaced component color fields.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 18 words
The CRT of claim 4 in which the three component color fields are red, blue and green-emitting, respectively.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 25 words
The CRT of claim 5 in which the phosphor elements are stripe-shaped, and the pattern comprises repeating triplets of red, green and blue-emitting phosphor elements.
