In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and information about some of the electronic, electrical and electrotechnical Obsolete technology relics that the Frank Sharp Private museum has accumulated over the years .
Premise: There are lots of vintage electrical and electronic items that have not survived well or even completely disappeared and forgotten.

Or are not being collected nowadays in proportion to their significance or prevalence in their heyday, this is bad and the main part of the death land. The heavy, ugly sarcophagus; models with few endearing qualities, devices that have some over-riding disadvantage to ownership such as heavy weight,toxicity or inflated value when dismantled, tend to be under-represented by all but the most comprehensive collections and museums. They get relegated to the bottom of the wants list, derided as 'more trouble than they are worth', or just forgotten entirely. As a result, I started to notice gaps in the current representation of the history of electronic and electrical technology to the interested member of the public.

Following this idea around a bit, convinced me that a collection of the peculiar alone could not hope to survive on its own merits, but a museum that gave equal display space to the popular and the unpopular, would bring things to the attention of the average person that he has previously passed by or been shielded from. It's a matter of culture. From this, the Obsolete Technology Tellye Web Museum concept developed and all my other things too. It's an open platform for all electrical Electronic TV technology to have its few, but NOT last, moments of fame in a working, hand-on environment. We'll never own Colossus or Faraday's first transformer, but I can show things that you can't see at the Science Museum, and let you play with things that the Smithsonian can't allow people to touch, because my remit is different.

There was a society once that was the polar opposite of our disposable, junk society. A whole nation was built on the idea of placing quality before quantity in all things. The goal was not “more and newer,” but “better and higher" .This attitude was reflected not only in the manufacturing of material goods, but also in the realms of art and architecture, as well as in the social fabric of everyday life. The goal was for each new cohort of children to stand on a higher level than the preceding cohort: they were to be healthier, stronger, more intelligent, and more vibrant in every way.

The society that prioritized human, social and material quality is a Winner. Truly, it is the high point of all Western civilization. Consequently, its defeat meant the defeat of civilization itself.

Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

OLD, but ORIGINAL, Well made, Funny, Not remotely controlled............. and not Made in CHINA.

SONY KV-FX29TA CHASSIS SCC-B98 A-A (FX CHASSIS) INTERNAL VIEW.










































































































































































































































































































The SONY CHASSIS SCC-D68A-A (FX CHASSIS) is the first SONY chassis featuring the 100HZ digital picture scan. It's even the first DIGITAL CHASSIS FROM SONY which has developed his own technology to feature the 100HZ field / frame frequency (see below patent descriptions).

Audio section remains analog and many other sections are still analog.

It doesn't have sophisticated DISPLAY control chips, the cutoff and workpoint of the CRT are still manually presetted during production, many regulations are classic analog in the deflection panel.

The chassis is pretty unique and doesn't share anything with previous and further models series and types.

This SONY chassis is rare and only exclusively used in this model.



NOTE: The chassis is a little rusty in some parts , why ? : This set was abandoned somewhere and got rain for a long period. When i've rescued it was a mega disaster but believe it or not it was in perfect working order even in extreme poor /  very bad state (rusty and corrosion all way) running perfectly without any issue ! A clear example of highest quality combined with high engineering in all ways (try to do it with some modern crap and we will see something fun).


I did a little restore and cleaning, even some chassis reworking was needed and I've further cleaned all parts and circuits of the chassis. All operations required the complete dismounting of the tellye requiring many hours of work.
(Wasn't easy)
Now i have 2 identical SONY KV-FX29TA !

With the switching power source device, the harmonic distortion in the ac input current is diminished and the ac input voltage is improved to a sinusoidal wave.




1. A switching power source device comprising:

2. A switching power source device as claimed in claim 1 wherein a power source insulating transformer is added to said transformer circuit section for controlling the primary side inductance as a saturable reactor transformer.
Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a switching power source device capable of inhibiting harmonic distortion of a, ac power source.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Heretofore, as countermeasures for diminishing the harmonic distortion of a commercial ac input power source, an ac reactor inserting system, an active smoothing filter system and a transformer system, have been considered, as stated in "DENKI KYODO KENKYU", vol. 46, No. 2.
By the above-mentioned ac reactor inserting system is meant a system in which an ac reactor is inserted into an ac input side of a full-wave rectifier-capacitor smoothing circuit, a typical component used in general-purpose household electric equipment, for limiting the charging current to a capacitor by an impedance component of the ac reactor for diminishing high harmonic components by extending an angle of conduction.
By the above-mentioned active smoothing filter system is meant a system in which a booster type chopper converter, a non-insulator type switching regulator having an output voltage higher than an input voltage, is used in place of the above-mentioned full-wave rectifier-capacitor smoothing circuit. In operation, pulse signals, full-wave rectified by a bridge rectifier, are switched over an entire period at a frequency higher than several tens of kilohertzes. The result is that the input current waveform is averaged out for each of the periods of the switching current, such that, if a large capacitor be present in a load, such capacitor proves to be a resistance load, so that the input switching current is caused to flow sinusoidally to allow to diminish the high harmonics.
Finally, by the transformer type system is meant a system in which reduction of high harmonics may be achieved by the choking effects proper to the transformer and the enlarged current conduction angle due to the lower secondary side voltage.
However, the above-mentioned three conventional systems suffer from respective drawbacks.
With the ac reactor inserting system, the reactor device is bulky and heavy in weight, while being expensive. An ac reactor is expensive when compared to other components. Since the dc voltage derived from smoothing of the corresponding ac voltage is lowered so that redesigning in a downstream side switch regulator becomes necessary to lower the efficiency. Besides, electronic appliances may be affected by the stray magnetic flux from the reactor device.
With the above-mentioned active smoothing filter system, the noise level is increased due to electro-magnetic interference (EMI) derived from switching semiconductors. Circuitry becomes complicated due to switching controlling means for providing for an input voltage proportionate to an input electric current, starting circuit and to software functions, besides the function as a switching power source, thereby increasing the number of component parts and production costs. Insulation must be made by a downstream side switching regulator because the system is a non-insulated system.
Although the transformer system is limited to a small-capacity electronic equipment of less than 30 W, the equipment is increased in size in order to be commercialized.
If the defects of the three systems is inspected, it becomes apparent that, in view of avoiding the increase in size of the device, the ac reactor inserting system or the transformer system is not satisfactory under the current state of the art in respect of practical application. However, the active smoothing filter may lend itself to practical application, if integration of the active smoothing filter and the switching filter is achieved satisfactorily.
With the active filter circuit employing the above-mentioned active smoothing filter circuit, the circuitry is such that, as disclosed in "DENSHI GIJUTSU" extra issue of March 1990, a non-insulated booster chopper circuit is of a pulse width modulation (PWM) system with a fixed switching frequency or of a ringing choke converter (RCC) system with a variable switching frequency. The active filter circuit has a drawback that, since the switching semiconductor undergoes a repeated on-off switching operations with trapezoidal or triangular waves so that the electro-magnetic wave interference level derived from the semiconductors is increased. The active filter circuit also has drawbacks that, if the system is of an insulated type, it becomes a flyback converter to increase power losses and noise levels, while the circuitry becomes complex due to provision of a starting circuit, software functions and means for providing for the input voltage proportionate to the input current, besides the function of the switching power source, thus leading to increased number of component parts and increased costs.
With the switching power source system for suppressing the ac ripple voltage to less than 50 mV against load fluctuations and changes in the ac input voltages for maintaining a constant dc output voltage, a large capacity electrolytic capacitor is employed as an ac input rectifying smoothing capacitor. If, however, the load power is 150 W and the capacitor for ac input rectification has a capacitance of 820 μF, the ac line current containing a large quantity of high harmonics charging the capacitor will flow as indicated in FIG. 2 to produce waveform distortions of the commercial sinusoidal ac voltage, such that the power factor is as low as 0.5 to 0.7.
OBJECT AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the above-depicted status of the art, it is an object of the present invention to provide an arrangement in which the active filter circuit is constituted by a switching power source system by a resonance frequency controlling type resonant converter circuit having a fixed switching frequency for improving the power factor.
The present invention provides a switching power source device comprising a rectifying smoothing circuit including a small-capacity capacitor as a circuit for rectifying and smoothing a commercial ac input power source, a resonant frequency controlled type resonant converter circuit including a self-oscillating circuit for switching controlling of an output of said rectifying smoothing circuit with a fixed switching frequency, a transformer circuit section including a primary circuit supplied with an output of said resonance converter circuit, a secondary winding insulated with respect to said primary winding, and a control winding having the direction of winding at right angles to the winding direction of said primary and secondary windings, a controller for controlling the control current of said control winding of said transformer circuit section in a direction of rendering the average value of the dc output voltage of said transformer circuit section constant, and a rectifying smoothing circuit including a rectifying smoothing capacitor determining the ripple voltage of the dc output voltage of said transformer circuit section in conjunction with a load power.
With the switching power source device according to the present invention, the power factor may be improved by the active smoothing filter constituted by the resonance frequency controlled type resonance converter circuit and the rectifying smoothing circuit employing the small capacity capacitor for reducing the harmonic distortion of the commercial power source. The electro-magnetic interference emanating from the switching semiconductor is of a lower level as compared to the conventional ringing choke converter (RCC) or pulse width modulation (PWM) type converter circuit, and the minute controlling current for the power source regulating transformer is generated by a self-oscillating type controller, for diminishing the production costs. In addition, The primary and secondary windings of the power source regulating transformer can be insulated from each other so that the downstream side regulator may remain non-insulated to enable the device to be reduced in size. The dc output voltage at the secondary side of the power source regulating transformer may be optionally selected by the turn ratio of the power source regulating transformer.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to the drawings, certain preferred embodiments of the present invention will be explained in detail.
FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram showing a switching power source device for improving the power factor according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, a dc input power source is produced by rectifying and smoothing a commercial ac input power source 1 with a diode bridge type full-wave rectifier 2 and a small-capacitance capacitor 3.
This dc input power source is supplied via a primary winding N a of a converter-driven transformer 5 to a dc resonance circuit consisting of a capacitor 6 and stray inductance of a primary winding N 1 (see also FIGS. 5 and 6) of a power source regulation transformer 7.
The converter-driven transformer 5 has the primary winding N a and two secondary windings N B1 , N B2 . Associated with these secondary windings N B1 , N B2 is a resonance converter circuit 4 for on-off control of the current of the above-mentioned dc input power source.
The resonance converter circuit 4 is composed of a series connection of a switching transistor Q 1 , having a diode D B1 connected across its emitter and its base, and a switching transistor Q 2 , having a diode D B2 connected across its base and the ground. The transistor Q 1 is connected across the dc input power source and the input winding N a of the converter-driven transformer 5, while the transistor Q 2 is connected across the primary winding N a of the converter-driven transformer 5 and the ground. A dc resonance circuit of a secondary winding N B1 of the converter-driven transistor 5, a resistor R B1 and a capacitor C B1 is connected in parallel with the diode D B1 across the base and the emitter of transistor Q 1 , while a dc resonance circuit of a secondary winding N B2 of the converter-driven transistor 5, a resistor R B2 and a capacitor C B2 is connected in parallel with the diode D B2 across the collector of transistor Q 2 and the ground. A starter resistor R S1 is connected across the dc input power source and the base of the switching transistor Q 1 , while a starter resistor R S2 is connected across the collector and the base of the switching transistor Q 2 .
The power source regulating transformer 7 has the primary winding N 1 and a secondary winding N 2 , insulated from the primary winding, as well as a control winding N C , which is wound in a direction normal to the winding direction of the windings N 1 and N 2 (see also FIGS. 5 and 6). The secondary winding N 2 of the power source regulating transformer 7 is connected to a rectifying smoothing circuit 8 including diodes D 1 , D 2 and D 3 and smoothing capacitors C 0 , C 0 '. A dc output voltage of the rectifying smoothing circuit 8 is converted by a controller 9 into a controlling current which is supplied to the control winding N C (see also FIGS. 5 and 6) of the power source regulating transformer 7.
The controller 9 includes a transistor Q 3 , to the base of which the above-mentioned dc output voltage is supplied via voltage dividing resistors R 1 , R 2 , a resistor R 3 connected to the emitter of this transistor Q 3 , a Zener diode D K , as reference voltage, connected to the emitter of the transistor Q 3 , a transistor Q 4 the base of which is connected to the collector of the transistor Q 3 together with a resistor R 4 and a feedback capacitor C f connected across the bases of the transistors Q 3 , Q 4 .
The schematic operation of the above described switching power source device is hereinafter explained. An ac output from e.g. the 100 V commercial power source 1 is rectified and smoothed by the diode bridge type full-wave rectifier 2 and the small-capacity capacitor 3. With the capacitance of the small capacity capacitor 3 of 0.1 to 0.22 μF, the dc input voltage E i is derived from a sinusoidal pulsating wave as shown in FIG. 3 and is supplied to the power source regulating transformer 7 shown in FIG. 7 via the resonance converter circuit 4 and the converter driven transformer 5. The controller 9 detects an average value of the dc output voltage produced at the secondary winding N 2 of the power source regulating transformer 7 and controls the dc controlling current I c flowing through the control winding N c so that the average value will be constant.
The above-mentioned dc output voltage contains a ripple voltage determined by the capacitance of a smoothing capacitor C 0 of the rectifying smoothing capacitor 8 and the load power. Since the sc input current I AC is controlled so as to have a waveform approximately similar to the ac input voltage V AC , this ripple voltage becomes the sinusoidal voltage E 0 having the frequency double the frequency of the ac input voltage V AC .
The switching frequencies of the switching transistors Q 1 , Q 2 of the resonant converter circuit 4 are fixed by the secondary winding N B1 , resistor R B1 and the capacitor C B1 and by the secondary winding N B2 , resistor R B2 and the capacitor C B2 , respectively. Thus the high frequency sinusoidal current I 1 , shown in FIG. 4, generated by the series resonant circuit constituted by the series resonant capacitor 6 and the stray inductance of the primary winding N 1 of the power source regulating transformer 7, are caused to flow through the switching transistors Q 1 , Q 2 , as switching currents I CP1 , I CP2 , respectively.
It is noted that, if the input voltage is 10 V or less, the high frequency sinusoidal wave does not flow, so that a dead time t d as shown in FIG. 3 is produced. Thus the ac input current I AC is interrupted. However, the power factor is substantially not lowered because the load power in not affected significantly by the input power in the vicinity of the zero-crossing points.
According to our experiments, if, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the load power is set to 150 W, the switching frequency is set to 100 kHz, the small-capacity smoothing capacitor C i is set to 0.22 μF/200 V, the rectifying smoothing electrolytic capacitor C 0 of the rectifying smoothing capacitor 8 is 100 μF/160 V, the rectifying smoothing electrolytic capacitor C 0 ' of the rectifying smoothing capacitor 8 is 1000 μF/25 V, and the feedback capacitor C f of the controller 9 is 47 μF/6.3 V, the operating waveform is as shown in FIG. 3, with the power factor being 0.96. The harmonic distortion of the ac input current I AC is diminished and the ac input voltage is improved to a sinusoidal waveform.
The larger the capacitance of the feedback capacitor C f controlling the average value of the dc output voltage to a constant value, the closer becomes the envelope of the high frequency sinusoidal current I 1 to a trapezoidal form. Since the transient response characteristics due to abrupt load changes are determined by the time constant of the detecting resistor R 1 and the feedback resistor C f , the fast follow-up time would be prolonged if the feedback capacitor C f is selected to too high a value.
The control characteristics of the controlling current I c with respect to the main load current I L are shown in FIG. 7 for various ac input voltages, wherein the main load current I L is plotted on the abscissa and the controlling current I c of the power source regulating transformer 7 is plotted on the ordinate. If, with the constant main load current I L , the controlling current I C for the power source regulating transformer 7 is compared to the ac input voltage, the controlling current I c becomes the smaller the larger the ac input voltage. An area towards the origin O from a line connecting points a and b in the drawing represents a constant voltage area.
FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate modified embodiments of the present invention. Specifically, FIG. 8 illustrates a switching power source circuit for improving the power factor wherein a power source insulating transformer is annexed and a transformer circuit is designed as a saturable reactor transformer for controlling the primary side inductance. FIG. 9 illustrates a switching power source circuit for improving the power factor by a secondary side inductance control type voltage resonance converter having a fixed switching frequency in case of low loads. FIG. 6shows a transformer circuit used in other modifications of the present invention, including windings N R and N C ' shown in FIGS. 8 and 9.
Thus it is possible with the above-described embodiments to improve the power factor and to diminish the harmonic distortion of the commercial power source by the rectifying smoothing circuit employing the small-capacitance capacitor and the resonance frequency control type converter circuit.








SONY KV-FX29TA  CHASSIS SCC-B98 A-A  (FX CHASSIS)  Television display system with increased field frequency, SONY CRT 100HZ FIELD FREQUENCY DIGITAL SCAN TECHNOLOGY CHASSIS SCC-D68A-A (CHASSIS FX).
In accordance with the present invention, a read clock frequency applied to field memories (16a) and (16b) comprising a converting circuit (16) which converts the field frequency of a video signal is changed at the unit of a vertical cycle whereby vertical cycles of video signals read out from the field memories (16a) and (16b) are made substantially equal to one another. Accordingly, a horizontal deflecting current waveform on which a parabolic wave current of, for example, the vertical cycle is superposed becomes equal during each vertical period so that it becomes possible to prevent a jitter from being produced at right and left ends of a picture screen.

1. A television receiver cmprising: scan converter means including field-memory means supplied with an input video signal of an interlaced television system having a selected plurality of fields per second, memory control means for supplying writing and reading signals to said field-memory where the frequency of said reading signal is different from that of said writing signal, thereby providing an increased plurality of fields per second greater than said selected plurality of fields, an output terminal for deriving an output video signal; and a video display means supplied with said output video signals, charaterized by a synchronizing signal separating circuit for separating synchronizing signals from said input video signals and by means provided in said memory control means for changing the frequency of said reading signal at a vertical rate including phase-lock loop means receiving said separated synchronizing signals and producing therefrom a plurality of read clock pulse signals of selected different frequencies and a switching circuit receiving said plurality of read clock pulse signals for delivering said plurality of read clock pulses signals to said field-memory means during corresponding periods of respective ones of said increased plurality of fields, whereby vertical intervals of odd fields of said output video signal are made substantially same as vertical intervals of even fields of said output video signal.
Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a television receiver which displays a television picture at, for example, field frequency twice the normal field frequency.
BACKGROUND ART
In the existing television system, a so-called interlaced scanning system is carried out. That is, one picture (frame) is transmitted by two vertical scannings (fields). This interlaced scanning system is considered in order to increase the number of scanning lines as much as possible in a limited frequency band without a flicker being perceived by a viewer.
However, in the CCIR system employed mainly in European countries, the field frequency is 50 Hz. By this frequency, the flicker can not be removed completely and the flicker becomes conspicuous particularly when the brightness of the television picture is high.
Therefore, in the prior art, such a television receiver is proposed that a television picture is displayed at a field frequency twice the normal field frequency. FIG. 1 shows an example thereof.
In the figure, reference numeral 1 designates an antenna, 2 a tuner, 3 a video intermediate frequency amplifier, and 4 a video detecting circuit. The video detecting circuit 4 produces a video signal Sv of interlaced system of 625 lines/50 fields and 2:1.
This video signal Sv is converted to a digital signal by an A/D converter 5 and then fed to a converting circuit 6 so as to be converted to a field twice normal speed video signal with field frequency twice the normal field frequency.
The converting circuit 6 is formed of field memories (random access memories having a storage capacity of picture elements of one field period (1V)) 6a and 6b and switching circuits 6c and 6d. The switching circuit 6c is changed in position to the sides of the memories 6a and 6b at every field period 1V, while the switching circuit 6d is changed in position reversely. The memory selected by the switching circuit 6c is supplied with a write clock pulse having a timing corresponding to the aboye-described picture elements, while the memory selected by the switching circuit 6d is supplied with a read clock pulse with frequency twice the frequency of the write clock pulse.
The video signal Sv converted to the digital signal by the A/D converter 5 is supplied through the switching circuit 6c to the memories 6a and 6b by one field each at every field period 1V in which it is written. The video signal of one field amount, which is written in the memories 6b and 6a during a field period 1V just before the above-mentioned field period, is read out therefrom continuously twice with a cycle of 1/2 V. This video signal is derived through the switching circuit 6d. In other words, the switching circuit 6d delivers a field twice normal speed video signal Sv, that is, at a double field frequency.
This video signal Sv' is converted to an analog signal by a D/A converter 7 and then fed to a signal processing circuit 8. Then, from the signal processing circuit 8, red, green and blue primary color signals R, G and B are produced and then supplied to an image receiving tube 9, respectively.
The video signal Sv derived from the video detecting circuit 4 is supplied to a vertical synchronizing separating circuit 10. A vertical synchronizing signal Pv derived from the separating circuit 10 is multiplied twice by a frequency multiplier 11 to be a signal with frequency twice the ordinary frequency. This signal is supplied through a vertical deflecting circuit 12 to a deflecting coil 13.
The video signal Sv' derived from the D/A converter 7 is supplied to a horizontal synchronizing separating circuit 14. A horizontal synchronizing signal P H ' (having the frequency twice the normal frequency) derived from the separating circuit 14 is supplied through a horizontal deflecting circuit 15 to the deflecting coil 13.
Since the example of the television receiver shown in FIG. 1 is constructed as described above, the primary color signals R, G and B each of which has the field frequency twice the normal field frequency are supplied to the picture receiving tube 9 and the horizontal and vertical deflection scannings are carried out at scanning speed twice the normal scanning speed, and hence a color picture with the field frequency twice the normal field frequency is displayed on the picture receiving tube 9. Accordingly, also in the above CCIR system, the field frequency becomes 100 Hz which is twice the normal field frequency so that the viewer feels no flicker.
In the case of the example shown in FIG. 1, however, the horizontal synchronization of the video signal Sv' derived from the converting circuit 6 is disturbed cyclically so that a distortion occurs in the upper portion of the picture screen.
That is, the write-in state of the video signal Sv derived from the video detecting circuit 4 in the memories 6a and 6b is expressed as shown in FIG. 2A, in which references F 1 and F 2 designate first and second fields, respectively. The video signal Sv' from the converting circuit 6 is expressed as shown in FIG. 2B. In the figure, arrows represent the positions of the vertical synchronizing signals. As will be clear from FIG. 2B, in the video signal Sv', the phase of the horizontal synchronization is displaced by 180° at every two fields, or at every 1/50 seconds (shown by broken line arrows), whereby the synchronization on the upper portion of the picture screen is disturbed, resulting in a picture distorion.
Therefore, the present applicant has proposed a television receiver which is free of such picture distortion and FIG. 3 shows an example thereof. In FIG. 3, like parts corresponding to those of FIG. 1 are marked with the same references.
In the figure, the video signal Sv derived from the video detecting circuit 4 is converted to the digital signal by the A/D converter 5 and then fed to a converting circuit 16 so as to be converted to the field twice normal speed video signal with the frequency twice the normal field frequency.
The converting circuit 16 is formed of field memories (random access memories) 16a and 16b having storage capacities of picture elements of 313 horizontal periods (313H) and 312 horizontal periods (312H) and switching circuits 16c and 16d. The switching circuit 16 is changed in position alternately to the side of the memory 16a during each period of 313H and to the side of the memory 16b during each period of 312H, while the switching circuit 16d is changed in position in the reverse manner. These change-overs of the change-over switches 16c and 16d are controlled by a control circuit 17. This control circuit 17 is supplied with horizontal and vertical synchronizing signals P H and P V which are separated from the video signal Sv by a synchronizing separating circuit 18.
The memory selected by the switching circuit 16c is supplied with the write clock pulse having the timing corresponding to the above picture elements, while the memory selected by the switching circuit 16d is supplied with a read clock pulse with the frequency twice the frequency of the write clock pulse.
The video signal Sv converted to the digital signal by the A/D converter 5 is supplied through the switching circuit 16c to the memories 16a and 16b in which it is alternately written during each period of 313H and 312H. FIG. 4A shows the write-in state of the memories 16a and 16b, in which references F 1 and F 2 represent the first and second fields, respectively. During the periods of 313H and 312H in which the video signal is being written in one of the memories, the video signal written in the other of the memories 16b and 16a during the periods just before the above 312H and 313H are read out therefrom twice continuously. This signal is derived through the switching circuit 16d as a field twice normal speed video signal Sv*. FIG. 4B shows the video signal Sv* which is derived through the switching circuit 16d, in which the field portions corresponding to those of FIG. 4A are marked with the same references. By the way, due to the difference between the write time and the read time, extra or lack of one line amount per field is produced in the video signal Sv*.
In FIG. 4B, at the portions of, for example, the F 1 and F 1 fields (the portions read out from the memory 16a), 313 lines are not read out because of a time relation. Further, at, for example, the F 2 and F 2 field portions (the portions read out from the memory 16b), the video signal of one line amount is lacked and during that period, the reading operation is stopped and the video signal of one line amount is lacked (shown by one-dot chain lines). The extra and lack of the video signal of one line amount as mentioned above occur in the vertical blanking period so that in practice, this does not disturb the television picture.
The writing in and reading out from the memories 16a and 16b are controlled by the control circuit 17.
The video signal Sv* derived from the switching circuit 16d is converted to the analog signal by the D/A converter 7 and then fed to the signal processing circuit 8. Then, the red, green and blue primary color signals R, G and B are produced from the signal processing circuit 8 and then fed to the picture receiving tube 9, respectively.
The control circuit 17 produces a vertical synchronizing signal Pv* at the timing shown by arrows in FIG. 4B. More particularly, the vertical synchronizing signal Pv* is produced at the beginning of the first F 1 field, at the timing after 312 lines from the preceding line, namely, at the beginning of the second F 1 field, at the timing after 311.5 lines from the preceding line, at the timing after 313 lines from the preceding line and at the timing after 313.5 lines from the preceding line, or the beginning of the first F 1 field, hereinafter similarly. This synchronizing signal Pv* is supplied through the vertical deflecting circuit 12 to the deflecting coil 13 which then carries out the vertical deflection scanning. When the synchronizing signal Pv* is produced at the above-mentioned timing, in the same F 1 field and F 2 fields, the scanning lines are formed at the same positions and the scanning lines respectively formed at the F 1 field and F 2 field are displaced by 1/2 scanning line spacing each. In other words, the interlaced relation of the video signal Sv is kept as it is.
The video signal Sv* from the D/A converter 7 is supplied to the horizontal synchronizing separating circuit 14. A horizontal synchronizing signal P H * (having the frequency twice the normal frequency) derived from the separating circuit 14 is supplied through the horizontal deflecting circuit 15 to the deflecting coil 13 by which the horizontal deflection scanning is carried out.
According to the example of the television receiver shown in FIG. 3, the horizontal synchronization of the video signal Sv* becomes continuous as shown in FIG. 4B so that the synchronization can be prevented from being disturbed by the insuccessive horizontal synchronization unlike the example of FIG. 1 and thus no picture distortion is produced.
However, in the example of FIG. 3, since the generation timing of the vertical synchronizing signal Pv* is determined such that the scanning lines of the same F 1 fields and F 2 fields are formed at the same positions (see the arrows in FIG. 4B), the vertical cycle is made different very slightly and not becomes exactly 1/100 second=10 m sec.
By the way, in the television receiver, in order to correct left and right pincushion distortions, a parabolic wave current with the vertical synchronizing frequency is superposed on the horizontal deflection current. In this case, since the cycle of the vertical synchronizing signal Pv* is different (see FIG. 5A) as mentioned above, also the vertical deflection current becomes correspondingly different (see FIG. 5B). Further, the horizontal deflection current waveform is changed at every vertical cycle (see FIG. 5C). As described above, since the horizontal deflection current waveform is different, a jitter appears in the right and left ends of the picture screen at a fundamental frequency of 25 Hz (four field cycles of F 1 , F 1 , F 2 , and F 2 ). This jitter becomes conspicuous much if the deflection angle becomes larger.
To remove this jitter, it may be considered to correct the horizontal deflection current waveform by the deflecting system. However, the correction thereof is very difficult and requires a special deflection correcting circuit.
In this case, since the cycle of the vertical synchronizing signal Pv* becomes different (see FIG. 5A), also the vertical deflecting current becomes different at every vertical cycle (see FIG. 5B) but this does not exert so serious bad influence on the picture screen.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
The present invention is to prevent a jitter from being produced at the right and left ends of a picture screen without providing a special deflection correcting circuit. To achieve this object, the present invention is to change the read clock frequency for a field memory which forms a converting circuit for converting the field frequency at the unit of vertical cycle and to make each vertical cycle of a video signal read out from the field memory substantially equal. Thus, the horizontal deflecting current waveforms become equal to each other in each vertical cycle so that a jitter can be prevented from being produced at the right and left ends of the picture screen.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
An embodiment of a television receiver according to the present invention will hereinafter be described with reference to FIG. 6. In FIG. 6, like parts correspocding to those of FIG. 3 are marked with the same references and will not be described in detail.
In this embodiment, the duration of the period of 312 lines (hereinafter referred to as A field) from the beginning of the first F 1 field, the duration of the period of 311.5 lines (hereinafter referred to as B field) after the preceding period, the duration of the period of 313 lines (hereinafter referred to as C field) after the preceding period and the duration of the period of 313.5 lines (hereinafter referred to as D field) after the preceding period shown in FIG. 4B or the respective vertical cycles become equal to 1/100 sec=10 m sec.
In FIG. 6, reference numeral 19 designates a PLL circuit. This PLL circuit 19 is supplied with the horizontal synchronizing signal P H from the synchronizing separating circuit 18 and produces at its output side a signal with the frequency of, for example, 1250 f H (f H is the horizontal frequency). This signal is supplied through a frequency divider 20 having a frequency dividing ratio of 2 to a write address counter 21 as its write clock pulse. A write address W AD from the counter 21 is supplied through a switching circuit 22 to the memories 16a and 16b. In this case, the PLL circuit 19 is constructed as, for example, shown in FIG. 7. In the figure, reference numeral 23 designates a phase comparator, 24 a low-pass filter, 25 a voltage-controlled type variable frequency oscillator and 26 a 1/N-frequency divider. In this case, N=1250 is established.
In FIG. 6, reference numerals 27, 28, 29 and 30 designate PLL circuits and they produce read clock pulses CL A , CL B , CL C , and CL D of A, B, C and D fields, respectively. These PLL circuits 27 to 30 are supplied with the horizontal synchronizing signal P H from the synchronizing separating circuit 18.
By the way, in this embodiment, since the periods of the A to D fields are made equal to 10 m sec as mentioned above, if the frequencies of the clock pulses CL A , CL B , CL C and CL D produced from the output sides of the PLL circuits 27, 28, 29 and 30 are respectively taken as f A , f B , f C and f D , the following relation is established. ##EQU1## Further, each frequency of these clock pulses CL A to CL D is selected to be substantially twice the frequency of the write clock pulse.
Accordingly, in this embodiment, the frequencies f A , f B , f C and f D of the clock pulses CL A , CL B , CL C and CL D are selected to be 1248 f H , 1246 f H , 1252 f H and 1254 f H , respectively. In this case, also the PLL circuits 27, 28, 29 and 30 are constructed as, for example, shown in FIG. 7, in which N=1248, 1246, 1252 and 1254 are respectively established.
The clock pulses CL A , CL B , CL C and CL D from these PLL circuits 27, 28, 29 and 30 are respectively supplied to a switching circuit 31 and the switching circuit 31 delivers the clock pulses CL A , CL B , CL C and CL D during the periods of the A, B, C and D fields. The clock pulse derived from the switching circuit 31 is supplied to a read address counter 32. A read address R AD from the counter 32 is supplied through the switching circuit 22 to the memories 16a and 16b. In this case, of the memories 16a and 16b, the memory set in the write mode by the switching circuit 22 is supplied with the write address W AD , while the memory set in the read mode thereby is supplied with the read address R AD .
In FIG. 6, reference numeral 33 designates a pincushion distortion correcting circuit, by which a parabolic wave current of vertical synchronizing frequency for use in correcting a pincushion distortion is superposed upon the horizontal deflecting current.
Other circuit elements are formed similarly to those of the example shown in FIG. 3.
This embodiment is constructed as mentioned above, in which during the A, B, C and D fields, the different read clock pulses CL A , CL B , CL C and CL D are supplied respectively and the periods of these A, B, C and D fields, or the respective vertical periods become equal to 10 m sec so that the horizontal deflecting current waveform on which the parabolic wave current of the vertical synchronizing frequency for correcting the right and left pincushion distortions in each vertical period is superposed becomes equal, thus removing such a defect that the jitter is produced at the right and left ends of the picture screen unlike the example of FIG. 3. Accordingly, in this embodiment, it is not necessary to provide the special correcting circuit.
By the way, as described above, since the periods of the A, B, C and D fields become 10 m sec equally, the horizontal cycle of each field becomes different. This difference is, however, very small and can be neglected.
FIG. 8 shows another embodiment of this invention. In FIG. 8, like parts corresponding to those of FIG. 6 are marked with the same references.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the timing at which the vertical synchronizing signal Pv* is produced is selected to be the timing shown by arrows in FIG. 9. That is, at the timing of the beginning of the first F 1 field, at the timing with a delay of 312 lines after the preceding timing, at the timing with the delay of 312.5 lines after the preceding timing, at the timing with a delay of 313 lines after the preceding timing and at the timing with a delay of 312.5 lines after the preceding timing, or at the timing of the beginning of the first F 1 field and at the similar timing the vertical synchronizing signal Pv* is produced hereinafter.
When the vertical synchronizing signal Pv* is produced at such timings, the scanning line of the F 2 field is displaced upward by one scanning line as compared with the example of FIG. 6. This problem, however, can be solved by delaying the signal supplied to the picture receiving tube 9 by one line amount during the F 2 field or shifting the whole of the signal by one scanning line to the underside during the F 2 field.
In the embodiment of FIG. 8, the duration of the period of 312 lines (hereinafter referred to as A' field) from the beginning of the first F 1 field, the duration of the period of 312.5 lines (hereinafter referred to as B' field) after the preceding period, the duration of the period of 313 lines (hereinafter referred to as C' field) and the duration of the period of 312.5 lines (hereinafter referred to as D' field) after the preceding period, or the respective vertical cycles become 1/100 sec=10 m sec equally.
In FIG. 8, reference numerals 34, 35 and 36 respectively designate PLL circuits which produce read clock pulses CL B ' (D) ', CL A ' and CL D ' for the periods B'(D'), A' and C'. These PLL circuits 34 to 36 are supplied with the horizontal synchronizing signal P H from the synchronizing separating circuit 18.
In the embodiment of FIG. 8, since the periods of A' to D' fields become 10 m sec equally, if the frequencies of the clock pulses CL B ' (D) ', CL A ' and CL C ' produced from the output sides of the PLL circuits 34, 35 and 36 are respectively taken as f B ' (D) ', f A ' and f C ', the following relation can be established. ##EQU2## Accordingly, in this embodiment of FIG. 8, the frequencies f B ' (D) ', f A ' and f C ' of the clock pulses CL B ' (D) ', CL A ' and CL C ' are respectively selected to be 1250 f H , 1248 f H and 1252 f H .
The clock pulses CL B ' (D) ', CL A ' and CL C ' from these PLL circuits 34, 35 and 36 are respectively supplied to a switching circuit 37 and the switching circuit 37 delivers clock pulses CL B ' (D) ', and CL A ' and CL C ' during the field periods of B'(D'), A' and C'. The clock pulses derived from the switching circuit 37 are supplied to the read address counter 32.
In FIG. 8, the clock pulse CL B ' (D) ' derived from the PLL circuit 34 is supplied through the frequency divider 20 to the write address counter 21 as the write clock pulse therefor.
Other circuit elements are formed similarly to those of the example shown in FIG. 6.
The embodiment of FIG. 8 is constructed as described above. Accordingly, during the respective B'(D'), A' and C' fields, the different read clock pulses CL B ' (D) ', CL A ' and CL C ' are supplied respectively so that the periods of respective A', B', C' and D' fields, or the respective vertical periods become 10 m sec equally. Therefore, the horizontal deflecting current waveforms in the respective vertical periods become equal so that it becomes possible to achieve the similar action and effect to those of the example of FIG. 6.
The frequencies of the write clock pulse and the read clock pulse are not limited to those of the above-described embodiments but may be, for example, twice the above frequencies. While in the above-mentioned embodiments the interlaced scanning system of the video system of 625 lines/50 fields and 2:2 is explained, the present invention is not limited to the above system but can be applied similarly to other interlaced scanning system of the other video signal. While in the above-described embodiments the field frequency is selected to be twice, the present invention is not limited to the above field frequency but can be similarly applied to a case in which the field frequency is changed to be three times, four times, . . .
EFFECT OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention as mentioned above, since the respective vertical cycles are made substantially equal, the horizontal deflecting current waveform on which the parabolic wave current of, for example, the vertical cycle is superposed becomes equal during each vertical period so that the jitter is not produced at the right and left ends of the picture screen. Accordingly, no such special correcting circuit for removing the jitter is required.

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a television receiver which displays a television picture at, for example, a field frequency twice the normal field frequency.
BACKGROUND ART
In the existing television system, a so-called interlaced scanning system is carried out. That is, one picture (frame) is transmitted by two vertical scannings (fields). This interlaced scanning system is considered in order to increase the number of scanning lines as much as possible in a limited frequency band without a flicker being perceived by a viewer.
However, in the CCIR system employed mainly in European countries, the field frequency is 50 Hz. By this frequency, the flicker can not be removed completely and the flicker becomes conspicuous particularly when the brightness of the television picture is high.
Therefore, in the prior art, such a television receiver is proposed that a television picture is displayed at a field frequency twice the normal field frequency. FIG. 1 shows an example thereof.
In the figure, reference numeral 1 designates an antenna, 2 a tuner, 3 a video intermediate frequency amplifier, and 4 a video detecting circuit. The video detecting circuit 4 produces a video signal Sv of the interlaced system of, for example, 625 lines/50 fields and 2:1.
This video signal Sv is converted to a digital signal by an A/D converter 5 and then fed to a converting circuit 6 so as to be converted to a field twice normal speed video signal with the field frequency twice the normal field frequency.
The converting circuit 6 is formed of field memories (random access memories each having a storage capacity sufficient for the picture elements of one field period (1V)) 6a and 6b and switching circuits 6c and 6d. The switching circuit 6c is changed in position to the sides of the memories 6a and 6b at every field period 1V, while the switching circuit 6d is changed in position reversely. The memory selected by the switching circuit 6c is supplied with a write clock pulse having a timing corresponding to the above-described picture elements, while the memory selected by the switching circuit 6d is supplied with a read clock pulse with the frequency twice the frequency of the write clock pulse.
The video signal Sv converted to the digital signal by the A/D converter 5 is supplied through the switching circuit 6c to the memories 6a and 6b by one field each at every field period 1V in which it is written. The video signal of one field amount, which is written in the memories 6b and 6a during a field period 1V just before the above-mentioned field period, is read out therefrom continuously twice with a cycle of 1/2V. This video signal is derived through the switching circuit 6d. In other words, the switching circuit 6d delivers a field twice normal speed video signal Sv' with the field frequency.
This video signal Sv' is converted to an analog signal by a D/A converter 7 and then fed to a signal processing circuit 8. Then, from the signal processing circuit 8, red, green and blue primary color signals R, G and B are produced and then supplied to an image receiving tube 9, respectively.
The video signal Sv derived from the video detecting circuit 4 is supplied to a vertical synchronizing separating circuit 10. A vertical synchronizing signal Pv derived from the separating circuit 10 is multiplied twice by a frequency multiplyer 11 to be a signal with the frequency twice the ordinary frequency. This signal is supplied through a vertical deflecting circuit 12 to a deflecting coil 13.
The video signal Sv' derived from the D/A converter 7 is supplied to a horizontal synchronizing separating circuit 14. A horizontal synchronizing signal P H ' (having the frequency twice the normal frequency) derived from the separating circuit 14 is supplied through a horizontal deflecting circuit 15 to the deflecting coil 13.
Since the example of the television receiver shown in FIG. 1 is constructed as described above, the primary color signals R, G and B each of which has the field frequency twice the normal field frequency are supplied to the picture receiving tube 9 and the horizontal and vertical deflection scannings are carried out at the scanning speed twice the normal scanning speed, and hence a color picture with the field frequency twice the normal field frequency is displayed on the picture receiving tube 9. Accordingly, also in the above CCIR system, the field frequency becomes 100 Hz which is twice the normal field frequency so that the viewer feels no flicker.
In the case of the example shown in FIG. 1, however, the horizontal synchronization of the video signal Sv' derived from the converting circuit 6 is disturbed cyclically so that a distortion occurs in the upper portion of the picture screen.
That is, the write-in state of the video signal Sv derived from the video detecting circuit 4 in the memories 6a and 6b is expressed as shown in FIG. 2A, in which references F 1 and F 2 designate first and second fields, respectively. The video signal Sv' from the converting circuit 6 is expressed as shown in FIG. 2B. In the figure, arrows represent the positions of the vertical synchronizing signals. As will be clear from FIG. 2B, in the video signal Sv', the phase of the horizontal synchronization is displaced by 180° at every two fields, or at every 1/50 seconds (shown by broken line arrows), whereby the synchronization on the upper portion of the picture screen is disturbed, resulting in a picture distortion.
Therefore, the present applicant has proposed a television receiver which is free of such picture distortion and FIG. 3 shows an example thereof. In FIG. 3, like parts corresponding to those of FIG. 1 are marked with the same references.
In the figure, the video signal Sv derived from the video detecting circuit 4 is converted to the digital signal by the A/D converter 5 and then fed to a converting circuit 16 so as to be converted to the field twice normal speed video signal with the frequency twice the normal field frequency.
The converting circuit 16 is formed of field memories (random access memories) 16a and 16b having storage capacities of picture elements of 313 horizontal periods (313H) and 312 horizontal periods (312H) and switching circuits 16c and 16d . The switching circuit 16 is changed in position alternately to the side of the memory 16a during each period of 313H and to the side of the memory 16b during each period of 312H, while the switching circuit 16d is changed in position in the reverse manner. These change-overs of the change-over switches 16c and 16d are controlled by a control circuit 17. This control circuit 17 is supplied with horizontal and vertical synchronizing signals P H and P V which are separated from the video signal Sv by a synchronizing separating circuit 18.
The memory selected by the switching circuit 16c is supplied with the write clock pulse having the timing corresponding to the above picture elements, while the memory selected by the switching circuit 16d is supplied with a read clock pulse with the frequency twice the frequency of the write clock pulse.
The video signal Sv converted to the digital signal by the A/D converter 5 is supplied through the switching circuit 16c to the memories 16a and 16b in which it is alternately written during each period of 313H and 312H. FIG. 4A shows the write-in state of the memories 16a and 16b, in which references F 1 and F 2 represent the first and second fields, respectively. During the periods of 313H and 312H in which the video signal is being written in one of the memories, the video signal written in the other of the memories 16b and 16a during the periods just before the above 312H and 313H are read out therefrom twice continuously. This signal is derived through the switching circuit 16d as a field twice normal speed video signal Sv*. FIG. 4B shows the video signal Sv* which is derived through the switching circuit 16d, in which the field portions corresponding to those of FIG. 4A are marked with the same references. By the way, due to the difference between the write time and the read time, extra or lack of one line amount per field is produced in the video signal Sv*.
In FIG. 4B, at the portions of, for example, the F 1 and F 1 fields (the portions read out from the memory 16a), 313 lines are not read out because of a time relation. Further, at, for example, the F 2 and F 2 field portions (the portions read out from the momory 16b), the video signal of one line amount is lacked and during that period, the reading operation is stopped and the video signal of one line amount is missing (shown by one-dot chain lines). The extra and lack of the video signal of one line amount as mentioned above occur in the vertical blanking period so that in practice, this does not disturb the television picture.
The writing in and reading out from the memories 16a and 16b are controlled by the control circuit 17.
The video signal Sv* derived from the switching circuit 16d is converted to the analog signal by the D/A converter 7 and then fed to the signal processing circuit 8. Then, the red, green and blue primary color signals R, G and B are produced from the signal processing circuit 8 and then fed to the picture receiving tube 9, respectively.
The control circuit 17 produces a vertical synchronizing signal Pv* at the timing shown by arrows in FIG. 4B. More particularly, the vertical synchronizing signal Pv* is produced at the beginning of the first F 1 field, at the timing after 312 lines from the preceding line, namely, at the beginning of the second F 1 field, at the timing after 311.5 lines from the preceding line, at the timing after 313 lines from the preceding line and at the timing after 313.5 lines from the preceding line, or the beginning of the first F 1 field, hereinafter similarly. This synchronizing signal Pv* is supplied through the vertical deflecting circuit 12 to the deflecting coil 13 by which the vertical deflection scanning is carried out. When the synchronizing signal Pv* is produced at the above-mentioned timing, in the same F 1 field and F 2 field , the scanning lines are formed at the same positions and the scanning lines respectively formed at the F 1 field and F 2 field are displaced by 1/2 scanning line spacing each. In other words, the interlaced relation of the video signal Sv is kept as it is.
The video signal Sv* from the D/A converter 7 is supplied to the horizontal synchronizing separating circuit 14. A horizontal synchronizing signal P H * (having the frequency twice the normal frequency) derived from the separating circuit 14 is supplied through the horizontal deflecting circuit 15 to the deflecting coil 13 by which the horizontal deflection scanning is carried out.
According to the example of the television receiver shown in FIG. 3, the horizontal synchronization of the video signal Sv* becomes continuous as shown in FIG. 4B so that the synchronization can be prevented from being disturbed by the insuccessive horizontal synchronization unlike the example of FIG. 1 and thus no picture distortion is produced.
However, in the example of FIG. 3, since the generation timing of the vertical synchronizing signal Pv* is determined such that the scanning lines of the same F 1 fields and F 2 fields are formed at the same positions (see the arrows in FIG. 4B), the vertical cycle is made different very slightly and not becomes exactly 1/100 seconds=10 m sec.
By the way, in the television receiver, in order to correct left and right pincushion distortions, a parabolic wave current with the vertical synchronizing frequency is superposed on the horizontal deflection current. In this case, since the cycle of the vertical synchronizing signal Pv* is different (see FIG. 5A) as mentioned above, also the vertical deflection current becomes correspondingly different (see FIG. 5B). Further, the horizontal deflection current waveform is changed at every vertical cycle (see FIG. 5C). As described above, since the horizontal deflection current waveform is different, a jitter appears in the right and left ends of the picture screen at a fundamental frequency of 25 Hz (four field cycles of F 1 , F 1 , F 2 , and F 2 ). This jitter becomes conspicuous much if the deflection angle becomes larger.
To remove this jitter, it may be considered to correct the horizontal deflection current waveform by the deflecting system. However, the correction thereof is very difficult and requires a special deflection correcting circuit.
In this case, since the cycle of the vertical synchronizing signal Pv* becomes different (see FIG. 5A), also the vertical deflecting current becomes different at every vertical cycle (see FIG. 5B) but this does not exert so serious bad influence on the picture screen.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
The present invention is to prevent a jitter from being produced at the right and left ends of a picture screen without providing a special deflection correcting circuit. To achieve this object, this invention is to provide a television receiver in which a video signal of the interlaced system is received, its field frequency is converted by using a field memory and then the video signal is fed to a picture receiving tube. In this case, in the picture receiving tube the vertical deflection scanning is performed by the vertical synchronizing signal of a constant cycle and a video signal in each field of the video signal supplied to the picture receiving tube is delayed by a predetermined time so as to keep the interlace-ratio constant.
The television receiver of the present invention is constructed as described above and since each vertical period is equal to one another, the horizontal deflecting current waveforms become equal to one another in each vertical cycle. As a result, the jitter can be prevented from being produced at the right and left ends of the picture screen.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
An embodiment of the television receiver according to the present invention will hereinafter be described with reference to FIG. 6 In FIG. 6, like parts corresponding to those of FIG. 1 are marked with the same references and the description thereof will be omitted.
In the embodiment of FIG. 6, the change-over of the switching circuits 6c and 6d and the writing-in operation to the memories 6a and 6b are carried out similarly to those of the example shown in FIG. 1 but by virtue of the control of a memory control circuit 19, the reading out timing from the memories 6a and 6b are controlled so that from the switching circuit 6d derived is a field twice normal speed video signal S VN ' shown in FIG. 7B. That is, one-dot chain lines in FIG. 7B indicate signal-missing portions. In this case, of the first and second F 1 fields read out from the memory 6a, the second F 1 field is read out with a delay of 0.25 H (corresponding to 0.5 line), while of the first and second F 2 fields read out from the memory 6b, the first F 2 field is read out with a delay of 0.25 H (corresponding to 0.5 line).
This video signal S VN ' is supplied through the D/A converter 7 to the signal processing circuit 8.
Further, the video signal S VN ' derived from the D/A converter 7 is supplied to the horizontal synchronizing circuit 14. A horizontal synchronizing signal P HN ' (having the frequency twice the ordinary frequency) therefrom is supplied through the horizontal synchronizing circuit 15 to the deflecting coil 13.
FIG. 7A shows a write-in state of the memories 6a and 6b, in which arrows indicate the positions of the vertical synchronizing signal PV from the vertical synchronizing separating circuit 10.
Further, arrows in FIG. 7B show the positions of signals which are supplied from the multiplier 11 to the vertical deflecting circuit 12. It is natural that the cycles thereof are equal to one another.
In FIG. 6, reference numeral 20 designates a deflection correcting circuit which corrects, for example, the pincushion distortion and this circuit permits a parabolic wave current of the vertical synchronizing frequency for correcting the pincushion distortion to be superposed upon the horizontal deflection current.
Other circuit elements are arranged similarly to those of the example shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 8D shows the scanning line arrangement and the field arrangement in the embodiment of FIG. 6. In FIGS. 8A-8F, black circles and white circles respectively indicate scanning lines. In the embodiment of FIG. 6, since the second F 1 ; field is read out with a delay of 0.25 H, the scanning line in the second F 2 field is formed at the lower side of the scanning line in the first F 1 field with a displacement of 1/2 scanning line interval. Further, since the reading of the first F 2 field is carried out with a delay of 0.25 H, the scanning line in the first F 2 field is formed at the lower side of the scanning line in the second F 2 field with a displacement of 1/2 scanning line interval.
Whereas, FIG. 8A shows the scanning line arrangement and the field arrangement formed by the video signal S V . FIG. 8B shows the like arrangement made by the example of FIG. 1 or 3. Further, FIG. 8C shows the scanning line arrangement and the field arrangement provided for the line multiple speed system in which the two scanning lines by the same signal are continued each. As will be clear from these figures, the synthesis of the first and second F 1 fields of the example of FIG. 6 is equivalent to the F 1 field of the line multiple speed system and the synthesis of the first and second F 2 fields in the example of FIG. 6 becomes equivalent to the F 2 field of this multiple speed system. In other words, the example of FIG. 6 is equivalent to the case where the scanning order of the signal of the previously proposed line multiple speed system is changed such that the signal of 625 lines/50 fields of the non-interlaced system is converted to the signal of the interlaced system with the 312.5 lines/100 fields and 2:1.
According to the television receiver of the embodiment of FIG. 6, since the cycles of the signal to be supplied to the vertical deflecting circuit 12 are equal, the respective vertical periods become equal to one another. Thus, the horizontal deflecting current waveforms on which the parabolic wave current of the vertical synchronizing frequency for correcting the left and right pincushion distortions are superposed are equal to one another during each vertical period. Thus unlike the example of FIG. 3, there occurs no disadvantage that the jitter is produced at the left and right ends of the picture screen and so on. Further, since the interlace-ratio is kept constant, it is possible to obtain a good picture image. Furthermore, according to the embodiment of FIG. 6, since the reading of the second F 1 field is carried out with a delay of 0.25 H and the reading of the first F 2 field is carried out with a delay of 0.25 H, similarly to the example of FIG. 3, the continuity of the horizontal synchronization can be kept and no particular problem is caused.
FIG. 9 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the television receiver according to the present invention. In this figure, like parts corresponding to those of FIGS. 1 and 6 are marked with the same references and will not be described in detail.
In the embodiment of FIG. 9, the read timing from the memories 6a and 6b are not controlled but a delay line is used.
In the embodiment of FIG. 9, the change over of the switching circuits 6c and 6d and the writing in and/or reading out from the memories 6a and 6b are carried out similarly to the example of FIG. 1 so that from the switching circuit 6d, there is derived a field twice normal speed video signal S V ' as shown in FIG. 2B.
In this embodiment of FIG. 9, the video signal S V ' converted to the analog signal by the D/A converter 7 is supplied to one fixed contact 21a of a switching circuit 21 and also through a delay line 22 having a delay time of 0.25H (corresponding to 0.5 line) to the other fixed contact 21b thereof. This switching circuit 21 is changed in position to the side of the contact 21a during the first F 1 field and the second F 2 field, while it is changed in position to the side of the contact 21b during the second F 1 ; field and the first F 2 field of the video signal S V '. Accordingly, from this switching circuit 21, there is derived the video signal S VN ' (shown in FIG. 7B) similar to the embodiment of FIG. 6, which then is fed to the signal processing circuit 8.
The video signal S VN ' from the switching circuit 21 is supplied to the horizontal synchronizing separating circuit 14.
The other elements are arranged similarly to those of the examples of FIGS. 1 and 6.
As a result, also in accordance with the embodiment of FIG. 9, the display similar to that of the embodiment of FIG. 6 can be made and thus similar action and effect can be achieved.
Next, FIG. 10 is a diagram showing other embodiment of the television receiver according to the present invention, in which like parts corresponding to those of FIG. 3 are marked with the same references and will not be described in detail.
In the embodiment of FIG. 10, the change over of the switching circuits 16c and 16d and the write-in operation in the memories 16a and 16b are carried out similarly to those of the embodiment of FIG. 3 but the read timing from the memories 16a and 16b is controlled by the control circuit 17 so that from the switching circuit 16d derived is a field twice the normal speed video signal S VN * shown in FIG. llB. That is, a one-dot chain line in FIG. llB indicates a signal lacked portion and the first and second F 2 fields are read out from the memory 16b with a delay of 0.5 H (corresponding to one line).
This video signal S VN * is supplied through the D/A converter 7 to the signal processing circuit 8.
Further, the video signal S VN * derived from the D/A converter 7 is supplied to the horizontal synchronizing separating circuit 14. A horizontal synchronizing signal P HN * (having the frequency twice the normal frequency) therefrom is supplied through the horizontal deflecting circuit 15 to the deflecting coil 13.
FIG. llA shows the write-in state of the memories 16a and 16b , in which the arrows indicate the positions of the vertical synchronizing signal P V from the synchronizing separating circuit 18.
In the embodiment of FIG. 10, from the control circuit 17, the vertical synchronizing signal P VN * which is produced at the timing shown by the arrows of FIG. llB is supplied to the vertical deflecting circuit 12. That is, the vertical synchronizing signal P VN * is produced at the timing of the beginning of the first F 2 field, at the timing with a delay of 312.5 lines after the preceding timing, at the timing with a delay of 312.5 lines after the preceding timing, at the timing with a delay of 312.5 lines after the preceding timing, and at the timing with a delay of 312.5 lines after the preceding timing, or at the timing of the beginning of the first F 2 field and at the similar timing hereinafter. In this way, the respective cycles of the vertical synchronizing signal P VN * in the embodiment of FIG. 10 are equal to one another.
In FIG. 10, reference numeral 20 designates a deflection correcting circuit which is used to correct, for example, the pincushion distortion and this deflection correcting circuit is the same as that used in the embodiment of FIG. 6.
The other circuit elements are formed similar to those of the embodiment of FIG. 3.
FIG. 8E shows the scanning line arrangement and the field arrangement in the embodiment of FIG. 10. In the example of FIG. 11, the timing at which the vertical synchronizing signal P VN * is produced is exactly the same as mentioned above and the reading of the first and second F 2 fields is carried out with a delay of 0.5 H so that the scanning line in the first F 1 field and the scanning line in the first F 2 field are formed at the same position, the scanning line in the second F 1 field is formed at the upper side of the scanning line in the first F 1 field with a displacement of 1/2 scanning line interval, and the scanning line in the second F 2 field is formed at the lower side of the scanning line of the first F 2 field by the displacement of 1/2 scanning line interval.
The synthesis of the first and second F 1 fields of the embodiment of FIG. 10 is equivalent to the F 1 field of the line multiple speed system (see FIG. 8C), while the synthesis of the first and second F 2 fields of the embodiment shown in FIG. 10 becomes equivalent to the F 2 field of the line multiple speed system.
As described above, according to the embodiment of FIG. 10, since the cycles of the vertical synchronizing signal P VN * supplied to the vertical deflecting circuit 12 are equal to one another, the respective vertical periods become equal to one another and thus there occurs no such disadvantage that the jitter will be produced by the fluctuation of each vertical period. Further, since the interlace-ratio is kept constant, it is possible to obtain the picture of good quality. According to this embodiment, since the reading of the first and second F 2 fields is carried out with a delay of 0.5 H, the continuity of the horizontal synchronization can be maintained similarly to the example of FIG. 3 and thus no trouble occurs.
FIG. 12 shows another embodiment of the television receiver according to the present invention, in which like parts corresponding to those of FIGS. 3 and 10 are marked with the same references and will not be described in detail.
In the embodiment of FIG. 12, instead of controlling the reading out timing from the memories 16a and 16b, there is used a delay line.
In the embodiment of FIG. 12, the change over of the switching circuits 16c and 16d and the write-in and/or read-out from the memories 16a and 16b are carried out similarly to those of the example of FIG. 3 and from the switching circuit 16d , there is derived a field twice the normal speed video signal Sv* such as shown in FIG. 4B.
Further, in the embodiment of FIG. 12, the video signal Sv* converted to the analog signal by the D/A converter 7 is supplied to one fixed contact 23a of a switching circuit 23 and also through a delay line 24 having a delay amount of 0.5 H (corresponding to one line) to the other fixed contact 23b thereof. This switching circuit 23 is changed in position to the side of the contact 23a during the first and second F 1 fields of the video signal Sv*, while it is changed in position to the side of the contact 23b during the first and second F 2 fields of the video signal Sv*. Accordingly, from this change-over switch 23, there is derived a video signal S VN * (shown in FIG. llB) similar to that of the embodiment of FIG. 10 and this video signal is fed to the signal processing circuit 8.
Further, the video signal S VN * derived from the switching circuit 23 is supplied to the horizontal synchronizing separating circuit 14.
The other circuit elements are arranged similar to those of the examples of FIGS. 3 and 10.
As a result, also in this embodiment of FIG. 12, the display similar to that of the embodiment of FIG. 10 is made and similar action and effect can be achieved.
In the embodiments of FIGS. 10 and 12, while the vertical deflecting circuit 12 is supplied with the vertical synchronizing signal P VN * from the control circuit 17, it is possible that instead of the synchronizing signal P VN * , the vertical synchronizing signal Pv, which is supplied from the synchronizing separating circuit 18, is multiplied by two and then supplied to the vertical deflecting circuit.
FIG. 13 shows another embodiment of the television receiver according to the present invention, in which like parts corresponding to those of FIG. 6 are marked with the same references.
In the embodiment of FIG. 6, the display equivalent to the interlaced system of 312.5 lines/100 fields and 2:1 is carried out so that the flicker on the picture screen can be suppressed and the respective vertical cycles become equal to each other, thus requiring no special deflection correcting circuit. However, if such a construction is employed in which the arrangement of the scanning line as shown in FIG. 8D is used or two scanning lines are continuously formed by the same signal, there occurs a problem that a distortion of step-shape, i.e., a so-called "zig-zag" becomes conspicuous on the inclined portion. This "zig-zag" is described in greater detail in the Japanese patent application (patent application Ser. No. 23998/1983) which was filed by the present applicant.
The embodiment of FIG. 13 is the example for reducing this "zig-zag".
In the figure, the video signal S VN ' analog signal by the D/A converter 7 is supplied to an adder 26 which forms a predicting circuit 25. This video signal S VN ' is further supplied through a delay line 27 having a delay amount of 0.5 H (corresponding to one line) to one fixed contact 28a of a switching circuit 28 and the adder 26. Then, in this adder 26, the video signal S VN ' and the signal, which results from delaying this video signal by 0.5 H, are added to each other and then averaged. This added and averaged signal is supplied to the other fixed contact 28b of the switching circuit 28. This switching circuit 28 is changed in position to the side of contact 28a during the first F 1 field and the second F 2 field of the video signal S VN '. (shown in FIG. 7B), while it is changed in position to the side of the contact 28b during the second F 1 field and the first F 2 field of the video signal S VN '. That is, from the switching circuit 28, there are derived a signal, which results from delaying the video signal S VN ' by 0.5 H, in the first F 1 field and the second F 2 field of the video signal S VN ' and a signal, which results from adding and averaging the video signal S VN ' and the signal thereof delayed by 0.5 H, in the second F 1 field and the first F 2 field of the video signal S VN ', respectively.
The signal derived from the switching circuit 28 is supplied to the signal processing circuit 8.
Further, in FIG. 13, a delay line 29 having a delay amount of 0.5 H is connected between the multiplier 11 and the vertical deflecting circuit 12.
The other elements thereof are arranged similar to those of the embodiment shown in FIG. 6.
The scanning line arrangement and the field arrangement in the embodiment of FIG. 13 become as shown in FIG. 8F. As will be clear from this figure, in the embodiment of FIG. 13, the two scanning lines by the same signal are not formed continuously but the interpolation signal is formed by adding and averaging the preceding and following scanning lines so that the above-described so-called "zig-zag" can be alleviated.
FIG. 14 shows another embodiment of the present invention which is a color television receiver. In this case, after the luminance signal Y and the chrominance signal C are separated from each other, there is used the predicting circuit 25 as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 13.
In the figure, the video signal S VN ' from the converting ing circuit 6 is supplied to a luminance signal/chrominance signal separating circuit 30. The luminance signal Y from this separating circuit 30 is supplied through the predicting circuit 25 and a D/A converter 7Y to a matrix circuit 31. The chrominance signal C from the separating circuit 30 is supplied to a color demodulating circuit 32 and this color demodulating circuit 32 produces, for example, a red color difference signal R-Y and a blue color difference signal B-Y which then are respectively supplied through D/A converters 7R and 7B to the matrix circuit 31. Then, from the matrix circuit 31, there are produced red, green and blue primary color signals R, G and B which are respectively fed to a picture receiving tube (not shown in FIG. 14).
The output from the D/A converter 7Y is supplied to the horizontal synchronizing separating circuit 14.
The other portions are formed similarly to those of the embodiment of FIG. 6.
In this case, although the predicting circuit 25 may be provided in the chrominance signal system, if it is omitted, the color television receiver of this embodiment becomes inexpensive.
As the embodiment in which the predicting circuit 25 is provided, the embodiments of FIGS. 13 and 14 each of which corresponds to the embodiment of FIG. 6 are illustrated. However, it is possible to similarly consider the embodiments which correspond to the embodiments of FIGS. 9, 10 and 12.
While in the above-described embodiments the video signal of the interlaced system having 625 lines/50 fields and 2:1 was described, the present invention is not limited to the above interlaced system video signal but can be similarly applied to the video signal of other interlaced system. Further, while in the above-embodiments, the field frequency is selected to be twice, the present invention is not limited to the above field frequency but can be similarly applied to a case in which the field frequency is converted to be three times, four times, . . .
EFFECT OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention as mentioned above, since the respective vertical cycles are made equal to one another, the horizontal deflecting current waveform on which, for example, the parabolic wave current of the vertical cycle is superposed becomes equal during each vertical period so that the jitters at the right and left ends of the picture screen are not produced. Accordingly, no such special correcting circuit for removing the jitter is required. Furthermore, according to the present invention, since the interlace-ratio is kept constant, it is possible to obtain a good picture.


























 


CIRCUITS DESCRIPTIONS:

TDA8443A I2C-bus controlled YUV/RGB switch


GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA8443A is a general purpose two-channel switch
for YUV or RGB signals. One channel provides matrixing
from RGB to YUV, which can be bypassed.
The IC is controlled via I2C-bus by seven different
addresses or can be used in a non-I2C-bus mode. In the
non-I2C-bus mode, control of the circuit is achieved by DC
voltages.

FEATURES
· Two RGB/YUV selectable clamped inputs with
associated synchronization
· RGB/YUV matrix
· 3-state switching with an OFF-state
· Selectable gain
· I2C-bus or non-I2C-bus mode
· Address selection for 7 devices
· Fast switching.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The circuit contains two sets of inputs (see Fig.1). Both
channels can receive RGB or YUV signals. Each set of
inputs has its own synchronization input, which internally
generates a pulse to clamp the inputs. The internal
clamping pulse can also be controlled by a signal (e.g. a
sandcastle pulse) applied to pin 24. The pulse will occur
during the time that the signal at pin 24 is between
5.5 and 6.5 V. If both a sync signal and a pin 24 signal are
used the signal should be applied to pin 24 via a 1 kW
resistor.
RGB signals of Channel 2 can be matrixed to YUV signals.
The outputs can be set in a high impedance OFF state,
which allows the use of seven devices in parallel
(I2C-bus mode).
The circuit can be controlled by an I2C-bus compatible
microcontroller or directly by DC voltages. The fast
switching input can be operated via pin 16 of the
peritelevision connector.

Input clamps
The R, G, B respectively (R-Y), Y and (B-Y) video signals
are AC-coupled to the IC where they are clamped on the
black level. The timing information for this clamping action
is derived from the associated synchronization signal
SYNC, which could also consist of the composite video
information signal CVBS. The syncsignal is AC-coupled to
the IC where it is clamped on top-sync level, information
obtained from this action is used to generate the clamp
pulses.
The clamp pulses can be generated in two ways:
1. Using the sync information (internal clamping)
The sync information is clamped on top-sync and the
information obtained from this action is used to switch
an internal current source at pin 24.
Pin 24 should be connected to VP via a 4.7 kW resistor,
and a 1 nF capacitor to ground. During video scan the
voltage at pin 24 will be HIGH (equals positive supply
voltage). During the synchronization pulses the
voltage at pin 24 will drop to zero because of the
current sink (2.5 mA).
When the synchronization pulse is over, the current
source is switched off and the voltage at pin 24 will rise
to its higher level. Because of the time constant at
pin 24, the restoration will take some microseconds.
The voltage at pin 24 is also sensed internally and at
the time it is between 0.456VP and 0.544VP, a time
pulse is generated and used for the clamping action.
2. Using a sandcastle pulse (external clamping)
If an associated sandcastle pulse is available, it can
also be used as a clamping pulse. In this event the
sandcastle pulse should be connected to pin 24, the
top of the clamping pulse should be between 0.544VP
and 0.456VP. The timing of the internal clamping pulse
will be equal to the timing of the higher part of the
sandcastle pulse. If the sync signal is also connected,
the current sink will also become active during the
synchronization pulses. This means that the
sandcastle pulse should be connected to pin 24 via a
1 kW dropping resistor. In this event only the
sandcastle pulse at pin 24 will be influenced during
sync pulses, but the sandcastle pulse at the
sandcastle source will be unchanged.

TEA2031A COLOR TV EAST-WEST CORRECTION
DESCRIPTION
The TEA2031A is intended to ensure frame rate
modulated parabolic and keystone corrections to
the horizontal deflection circuitry of 110° color TV
sets.
The linear frame saw-tooth is applied to appropriate
circuitry from which a corresponding parabolic
waveforms is obtained. This waveform is then fed
to a comparator together with the linear line sawtooth
for comparison. Comparator’s output drives
the output power stage which is capable of sinking
the external coil currents of up to 0.5A.
An internal recovery diode feeds back to the power
supply the coil fly-back current pulses of as high as
0.5A.


GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TEA2031A is intended to provide to 110° color
TV sets a parabolic and keystone frame rate modulated
correction in addition to the main horizontal
scanning.
A stable 6.3V internal reference provides current
and voltage references to the whole IC.
Pins 1 and 2 are two symmetrical inputs of an onchip
multiplier circuit and are internally held at
6.3V reference potential level. Current inputs to
these pins are drawn from external sources via appropriate
resistors. The frame saw-tooth waveform
which has a peak-to-peak value of around 3
volts and a mean value of about 2.5 volts, supplies the required current via a series resistor to pin 1.
Likewise, the current to pin 2 is drawn through a
series resistor from an external dc voltage source.
These series resistors can have values of around
40kΩ resulting in input currents of approximately
0.1mA ± modulation current.
Pin 7 should be loaded to ground through a 100kΩ
resistor which as a result will produce a parabola
of 5 volts peak-to-peak at pin 7. This parabola is
symmetrical if the DC current flowing into pin 2 is
equal to the mean input current of pin 1. Otherwise,
the parabola becomes dissymmetrical and
produces a keystone effect correction.
The line saw-tooth at pin 8 is obtained by feeding
the line fly-back voltage through an integrator network
formed by a diode and a grounded capacitor
(see typical application diagram). The DC component
of the line saw-tooth is compensated by an internal
current sinking source ; so that the mean DC
values of line saw-tooth and frame parabola voltages
are equal.
Line saw-tooth and frame parabola signals are applied
to a comparator whose output is in the form
of width modulated pulses. During every pulse duration,
the output (pin 5) can sink external coil currents
of up to 0.5A associated with diode
modulator of the main horizontal scanning circuit.
An internal recovery diode feeds back the fly-back
energy of the coil to the power supply. This diode
can carry currents of up to 0.5A.

kHz and 54.8 kHz) from the line frequency. The phase detectors of the control loops
operate in a frequency range of 117 Hz and/or 274 Hz.

input signals, the individual signals "stereo" and "dual sound" are delayed via an
externally adjustable integrator. The subsequent digital evaluation provides the
information "mono", "dual sound", or "stereo" to the matrix and the 4 level input/output
(to drive the TDA 6200). If this four level input/output is connected to ground externally
(e.g. by the TDA 6200), the decoder will recognize this signal as "forced mono".

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a television receiver and more particularly is directed to a television receiver which can indicate the numeral of a channel after the channel is changed.
2. Description of the Prior Art
There is proposed a television receiver in which when a channel is changed, the numeral indicative of the channel after the channel is changed is indicated on the screen of a cathode ray tube during a predetermined period. Such previously proposed television receiver is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,748,645, U.S. Pat. No. 3,812,285 and so on. A conventional channel indicator used in such television receiver requires a special LSI (large scale integration) chip to indicate the numeral of the channel. However, such LSI chip requires a substantial investment in time and money from its designing to the completion, and when the designing thereof is changed midway, it is quite difficult to cope with such change.
Moreover, it is difficult to give an individuality to the character pattern of the numeral indicating the channel. Furthermore, the number of ICs (integrated circuits) is increased and hence the manufacturing cost is inevitably raised.

It is further object of the present invention to provide a television receiver which can reduce the number of integrated circuits.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a television receiver comprising:
(a) a central processing unit having an interrupt function;
(b) a bus means connected to said central processing unit;
(c) a read only memory means connected to said central processing unit through said bus means and containing a control program to be executed by said central processing unit;

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Now, an embodiment of a television receiver according to the present invention will hereinafter be described with reference to the attached drawings.
In FIG. 1 showing an example of the present invention, reference numeral 10 generally designates a video signal system, 11 a tuner, 12 a video intermediate frequency (VIF) amplifier, 13 a video detecting circuit, 14 a video amplifier and 15 a cathode ray tube, respectively. In this case, the tuner 11 is formed as an electronic tuning system which can receive the video signal of a desired channel by changing a value of a tuning voltage Ec supplied thereto.
Reference numeral 20 generally designates a microcomputer, 21 a 4-bit parallel CPU (central processing unit), 22 a ROM (read only memory) in which a program and a font data for indicating a numeral of a channel are written or stored, 23 a RAM (random access memory) for a work area and 31 to 36 input/output ports. These circuits 22 to 36 are connected through a bus 24 to the CPU 21.
Reference numeral 37 designates a 16-bit serial/parallel input and serial output shift register. This shift register 37 is used to generate a signal Sn which indicates the numeral of the channel. To the shift register 37 loaded line by line in parallel is a 16-bit font data indicating the numeral of a channel as, for example, shown in FIG. 2 from the port 32. The font data loaded to the shift register 37 is delievered therefrom in series from MSB (most significant bit) as the signal Sn. At that time, the serial input terminal of the shift register 37 is made at "0" level.
The signal Sn derived from the shift register 37 is supplied to the video amplifier 14 in which the signal Sn is composed on or mixed with the video signal.
The microcomputer 20 together with this shift register 37 is formed as one chip IC (integrated circuit).
Reference numeral 41 designates a D/A (digital-to-analog) converter. The output from the port 31 is supplied to this D/A converter 41 from which the tuning voltage Ec is derived. This tuning voltage Ec is supplied to the tuner 11.
Reference numeral 42 designates a receiving element which receives a remote control signal and 43 its receiving circuit connected thereto. When the remote control signal is, for example, an infrared remote control signal, the receiving element 42 is formed as an infrared ray receiving element and the receiving circuit 43 generates a remote control signal Sr. This remote control signal Sr is the signal which corresponds to an output from a remote control signal transmitter (not shown) and has a format as, for example, shown in FIG. 4. Namely, in this remote control signal, a guide pulse having a pulse width of 2400 μsec exists in the beginning and code pulses of 16 bits from b 0 to b 15 follow the guide pulse with an interval of 600 μsec. In this case the code pulses b 0 to b 15 indicate "0" or "1" in respose to the content of the remote control. When "0", the pulse width is selected as 600 μsec, while when "1", the pulse width is selected as 1200 μsec. This remote control signal Sr is supplied to the port 33.
Reference numeral 44 designates a non-volatile memory which is connected to the port 34 and in which a digital value of the tuning voltage Ec at each channel is stored. Reference numeral 45 designates an input key which is used to change the channel, the sound volume and so on, in which the dynamic scan is carried out by the output from the port 35, and the switching output from which is inputted to the port 36 to detect which key is operated.
Reference numeral 51 designates a synchronizing (sync) separating circuit to which the video signal from the video detector circuit 13 is supplied and from which a vertical synchronizing pulse Pv and a horizontal synchronizing pulse Ph are derived respectively. These pulses Pv and Ph are supplied to the CPU 21 as interrputing signals H-INT and V-INT. The pulse Ph is supplied to a monostable multivibrator 52 which generates a pulse P 52 which becomes "1" from a falling down or trailing edge time point t 1 of the pulse Ph to a start time point t 2 of the display period of the numeral of the channel as shown in FIG. 3 (in which reference numeral 151 designates the screen of the cathode ray tube). This pulse P 52 is supplied to a gated oscillating circuit 53 as its oscillating control signal so that from the gated oscillating circuit 53 is derived an oscillating pulse P 53 during the period from t 2 to t 4 in which the pulse P 52 is "0" as shown in FIG. 3. This pulse P 53 is supplied to the shift register 37 as the clock. At that time, the frequency of the pulse P 53 is selected as a value corresponding to a dot pitch in the lateral direction of the numeral of the channel to be indicated.
Accordingly, since the font data on, for example, the first line in FIG. 2 is loaded to the shift register 37 during the first half period from t 1 to t 2 of the 45th horizontal trace period, this font data is extracted from the shift register 37 as the serial signal Sn in response to the pulse P 53 during the second half period from t 2 to t 3 of the above horizontal trace period and then supplied to the video amplifier 14, the numeral of the channel on the first line is indicated on the screen 151 in the interval corresponding to the period from t 2 to t 3 of the 45th line. Although during the period from t 3 to t 4 the pulse P 53 is supplied to the shift register 37, the serial input terminal of the shift register 37 is at "0" level and this "0" level is derived from the shift register 37 during the period from t 3 to t 4 so that no numeral of the channel is indicated on the screen 151 in the interval corresponding to the period from t 3 to t 4 .
When such operation is performed for the 45th to 51st horizontal lines by employing the font data on the 1st to 7th lines shown in FIG. 2, the channel numeral corresponding to the font data in FIG. 2 is displayed as shown in FIG. 3. If the data of all "0" is loaded to the shift register 37 as the font data, the channel numeral is not indicated.
FIGS. 5 to 8 respectively show flow charts of the programs written in the ROM 22 and FIG. 5 shows the main routine thereof.
This main routine shown in FIG. 5 starts from a step 501 and in a step 502 the initializing is carried out. Thus, a flag FLG, a buffer BUFF and counters CHCNT, HCNT and WCNT are set in, for example, the RAM 23 and these are all reset (cleared) to "0".
A step 503 is such a step in which the existence or not of the remote control signal Sr is judged by the existence or not of the guide pulse, namely, by detecting whether the "1" level of the signal Sr lasts 2400 μsec or not. A step 504 is such a step which judges whether or not there is the input to the key 45, and a step 531 is such a step which judges whether the counter CHCNT is "0" or not. Consequently, when powered, CHCNT=0 is established in the step 502 so that the loop of step 503➝step 504➝step 531➝step 503 is repeated to thereby poll the input of the remote control signal Sr and the input from the key 45. In this case, the counter CHCNT serves as a flag indicative of the existence or not of the request for changing the channel and a timer for setting the displaying period of the channel numeral.
When the remote control signal Sr exists, the bits b 0 to b 15 of the signal Sr are latched in a step 800 and the step is moved to a step 511. Also when an input exists in the step 504, the step 504 moves to the step 511, too. In the step 511, it is judged whether the remote control input in the step 800 and the key input in the step 504 are the commands for changing the channel or not.
When the above inputs are the command for changing the channel, the counter CHCNT is set to "1" in a next step 512. Subsequently, in a step 513, on the basis of the channel data indicated by the remote control signal Sr inputted at the step 800 and the key input in the step 504, a digital tuning voltage data E D for tuning to the channel is read out from the non-volatile memory 44 (see FIG. 1). This digital tuning voltage data E D is outputted to the port 31 in a step 514. Thus, by the analog tuning voltage Ec from the D/A converter 41, the television receiver is set in the receiving state of the channel inputted in the step 800 or 504, thereafter.
In a step 515, from the ROM 22, a font data (data as, for example, shown in FIG. 2) displayed as a numeral of a new channel after the channel is changed is loaded to the buffer BUFF. Although the detail will be described later, the font data in the buffer BUFF is sequentially loaded line by line to the shift register 37 during the 45th to 51st horizontal trace period t 1 to t 2 of each field in accordance with a subroutine 700 shown in FIG. 7. As a result, the channel numeral after the channel is changed is indicated on the screen 151.
When the channel numeral is indicated on the screen 151, the procedure step is returned to the step 503. At that time, since CHCNT=1 is established in the step 512, the procedure step is moved in the order of the step 503➝the step 504➝the step 531➝a step 532. In this step 532, the counter CHCNT is incremented by "1" and in a next step 533, whether the count CHCNT reaches a predetermined value MAX or not is checked where the value MAX is the value corresponding to the period during which the channel numeral is displayed upon changing the channel.
And, if CHCNT
When CHCNT=MAX is esbalished, the buffer BUFF is cleared to "0" in a step 541. Therefore, since "0" is loaded through the buffer BUFF to the shift register 37 as the font data, Sn="0" is established thereafter so that the channel numeral is not indicated any more.
In a next step 542, the counter CHCNT is reset to "0" and the procedure step is returned to the step 503.
As described above, when the channel change data is inputted, the channel is changed and the channel numeral after the channel is changed is indicated during a constant period.
When the inputs in the steps 800 and 504 are not the commands for changing the channel but the commands for changing, for example, the sound volume, in a step 521 the counter CHCNT is reset to "0" and then in a step 522, the operation based on the commands inputted in the steps 800 and 504 is carried out. The circuitry for executing the procedure except for changing the channel can be made the same as in the prior art and hence it is omitted to show the same in FIG. 1.
On the other hand, FIGS. 6 and 7 respectively show subroutines in which the font data in the buffer BUFF is loaded to the shift register 37. The subroutine 600 shown in FIG. 6 is the interrupt subroutine which is executed when the interrupt procedure is executed by the vertical synchronizing pulse Pv. When the vertical synchronizing pulse Pv is supplied to the CPU 21, this subroutine 600 starts from a step 601 and in a step 602, the counter HCNT is reset to "0". In a step 603, the subroutine 600 is ended and returned to the original main routine.
Accordingly, by this subroutine 600, the counter HCNT is reset to "0" at every start point of each field.
The subroutine 700 shows in FIG. 7 is the interrupt subroutine which is executed when the interrupt procedure is executed by the horizontal synchronizing pulse Ph. When the horizontal synchronizing pulse Ph is supplied to the CPU 21, the subroutine 700 starts from a step 701 and in a step 702, a flag FLG indicative of whether the subroutine 700 is executed or not is set to "1". Then, in a step 703, the counter HCNT is incremented by "1". In this case, since the counter HCNT is reset to "0" by the subroutine 600 at every start point of each field and the subroutine 700 is executed at each horizontal syncronizing pulse Ph, the counter HCNT indicates the line number of the horizontal line at each field period.
In a next step 704, the magnitude of the counter HCNT is checked. When 45≤HCNT≤51, in a step 711, the font data in the buffer BUFF (the data as, for example, shown in FIG. 2) is loaded line by line to the shift register 37 from the buffer BUFF each time when the counter HCNT is incremented by "1" each (at every horizontal lines). On the other hand, when 45≤HCNT≤51 is not established, in a step 721, all "0" is loaded to the shift register 37. Then, the subroutine 700 is ended at a next step 712 and returned to the original main routine.
If necessary, the subroutine 700 is provided with a timer routine by which the duration of time necessary for completing the subroutine 700 is set as 40 μsec (the period shorter than the period from t 1 to t 2 ).
Consequently, during the period from t 1 to t 2 in the 45th to 51st horizontal trace periods, by the subroutine 700 the data in the buffer BUFF is loaded to the shift register 37. Then, if the data loaded to the shift register 37 is the font data, the channel numeral is indicated during the period from t 2 to t 3 . While during the period from t 1 to t 2 in other horizontal trace period, the data indicative of all "0" is loaded to the shift register 37 from the buffer BUFF so that the channel numeral during the period t 2 to t 3 is not displayed.
Upon changing the channel, during the predetermined period, the font data regarding the channel numeral after the channel is changed is loaded to the buffer BUFF in the step 515. After that, since the data indicative of all "0" is loaded to the buffer BUFF in the step 541, in accordance with the subroutine 700, during the predetermined period from the change of the channle, the channel numeral after the channel is changed is indicated on the screen 151 as shown in FIG. 3. After the predetermined period elapses, the display is not carried out any more.
FIG. 8 shows a subroutine 800 which is used to read the remote control signal Sr. This subroutine 800 starts from a step 801. In a next step 802, a pointer i is reset to "0" and in a succeeding step 811, a delay corresponding to the "0" level period of 600 μsec between the trailing edge of the guide pulse and the rising edge of the bit b 0 (see FIG. 4) is carried out. Further, in a next step 821, the counter WCNT is reset to "0". In this case, the pointer i indicates a particular bit of the bits b 0 to b 15 of the remote control signal Sr and i=0 to 15. Also, the counter WCNT is used to check the respective pulse widths of the bits b 0 to b 15 .
After the delay of 70 μsec is performed in a succeeding step 822, whether the flag FLG is "0" or "1" is checked in a next step 823. When FLG=0, namely, the interrupt procedure is not executed, the counter WCNT is incremented by "1" in a following step 824. When FLG=1, namely, the interrupt procedure is executed, the counter WCNT is incremented by "2" in a step 825 and the processing time due to the interrupt procedure is corrected. Thereafter, the flag FLG is reset to "0" in a next step 826. Then, in a step 827, it is checked whether the level of ith bit of the remote control signal Sr reaches the "0" level or not, namely, whether ith bit is ended or not. When ith bit is not ended, the step 827 returns to the step 822, while when ended, the step 827 advances to a step 831.
Accordingly, during the period in which the level of ith bit of the signal Sr is at the "1" level, the loop from the steps 822 to 827 is repeated. Upon repeating the loop from the steps 822 to 827, if the interrupt subroutine 700 is not executed at all, the FLG=0. Therefore, in the steps 822 and 824, the counter WCNT is incremented by "1" each at every 40 μsec. Thus, at the time when the above loop is ended, if ith bit is "0" (namely, the pulse width is 600 μsec), WCNT=15, while if ith bit is "1" (namely, the pulse width is 1200 μsec), WCNT=30 (the processing time necessary for other steps is neglected for simplicity).
Upon repeating this loop from the steps 822 to 827, if the interrupt subroutine 700 is executed, 40 μsec is consumed to execute such subroutine. This is the same as that necessary for executing the step 822 once. Also, at that time, since FLG=1 (step 702), the counter WCNT is incremented by "2" in the step 825. As a result, at the time when this loop is ended, if ith bit is "0", WCNT=15, while if ith bit is "1", WCNT=30.
After the above loop is ended, the counter WCNT is checked in the step 831. If WCNT≤15, the level "0" of ith bit is set in the RAM 23 in a step 832, while if WCNT>15, the level "1" of ith bit is set in the RAM 23 in a step 833. In a next step 834, whether the above procedure is executed for all the bits of the remote control signal Sr or not is checked by the pointer i. When the above procedure is not yet executed for all the bits, the pointer i is incremented by "1" in a step 835 and then the step 835 returns to the step 811. On the contrary, when the above procedure is executed for all the bits, the step 834 advances to a step 841.
In the step 841, the remote control signal Sr is judged on the basis of the data in the steps 832 and 833. And, in a step 842, this subroutine 800 is ended and returned to the original main routine.
As set forth above, according to the present invention, it is possible to perform the change of the channel and to indicate the channel numeral at that time. In this case, particularly in accordance with the present invention, the change of the channel and the indication of the channel numeral after the channel is changed are carried out by the use of the ordinary microcomputer 20 so that the time and cost necessary from designing to completing can be reduced extremely. Moreover, when the designing is changed in the midway thereof, the designing can be changed with ease.
Further, the individuality can be given to the character pattern of the numeral of the channel to be indicated with ease. Also, since the number of the ICs can be reduced, this is advantageous for reducing the manufacturing cost and for increasing reliablity.
In addition, in the above description, it is possible to provide the steps 531 to 542 in the subroutine 600.
The above description is given on a single preferred embodiment of the invention, but it will be apparent that many modifications and variations could be effected by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirits or scope of the novel concepts of the invention, so that the scope of the invention should be determined by the appended claims only.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
When the high voltage winding of a fly-back transformer used in a high voltage generating circuit of a television receiver is divided into plural ones and then wound on a bobbin, the divided windings (divided coils) are connected in series through a plurality of rectifying diodes.
When the winding is divided into, for example, three portions, such as divided coils La, Lb and Lc, they are wound on a bobbin proper 1 from, for example, left to right sequentially in this order as shown in FIG. 1. In this case, if the divided coils La and Lc are selected to have the same sense of turn and the middle coil Lb is selected to have the opposite sense of turn from the coils La and Lc, the distance between the terminal end of coil La and the start of coil Lb and the distance between the terminal end of coil Lb and the start of coil Lc can be got relatively long. Therefore, diodes Da and Db can be mounted by utilizing the space above the block on which the middle coil Lb is wound as shown in FIG. 1, so that it becomes useless to provide spaces for diodes between the divided coils La and Lb and between the divided coils Lb and Lc and hence the bobbin proper 1 can be made compact.
FIG. 2 is a connection diagram showing the connection of the above fly-back transformer. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 2 designates a primary winding (Primary coil) of the fly-back transformer, reference letter L designates its high voltage winding (secondary coil), including divided coils La, Lb and Lc, 3 an output terminal, and 4 a lead wire connected to the anode terminal of a cathode ray tube (not shown), respectively.
An example of the bobbin structure according to the invention, which is suitable to automatically wind coils, which are different in sense of turn in each winding block as shown in FIG. 1, on the bobbin, will be hereinafter described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an automatic winding apparatus of a wire lead on a coil bobbin. If it is assumed that the wire lead is wound in the order of winding blocks A, B and C in FIG. 1 and the wire lead is wound on the block A with the bobbin proper 1 being rotated in the counter-clockwise direction as shown in FIG. 3, the relation between the bobbin proper 1 and the wire lead becomes as shown in FIG. 3. In this figure, reference numeral 6 designates a bobbin for feeding the wire lead.
Turning to FIG. 4, an example 10 of the bobbin structure or coil bobbin according to the present invention will be described now. In this example, the winding blocks A, B and C for the divided coils La, Lb and Lc are respectively divided into plural slots or sections by plural partition members or flanges 11, and a cut-off portion or recess 12 is formed on each of the flanges 11 through which the wire lead in one section is transferred to the following winding section.
As shown in FIG. 6, each recess 12 is so formed that its one side extends in the direction substantially coincident with the tangent to the circle of the bobbin proper 1 and its direction is selected in response to the sense of turn of the winding or wire lead. In this case, the direction of recess 12 means the direction of the opening of recess 12, and the direction of recess 12 is selected opposite to the sense of turn of the winding in the present invention.
Now, recesses 12A, which are formed in the winding block A, will be now described by way of example. The positions of recesses 12A formed on an even flange 11Ae and an odd flange 11A 0 are different, for example, about 180° as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B. Since the bobbin proper 1 is rotated in the counter-clockwise direction in the winding block A and hence the sense of turn of the wire lead is in the clockwise direction, the recess 12A is formed on the even flange 11Ae at the position shown in FIG. 6A. That is, the direction of recess 12A is inclined with respect to the rotating direction of bobbin proper 1 as shown in FIG. 6A. In this case, one side 13a of recess 12A is coincident with the tangent to the circle of bobbin proper 1, while the other side 13b of recess 12A is selected to have an oblique angle with respect to the side 13a so that the recess 12A has a predetermined opening angle.
The opening angle of recess 12A is important but the angle between the side 13a of recess 12A and the tangent to the circle of bobbin proper 1 is also important in the invention. When the wire lead is bridged or transferred from one section to the following section through the recess 12A, the wire lead in one section advances to the following section in contact with the side 13a of recess 12A since the bobbin proper 1 is rotated. In the invention, if the side 13a of recess 12A is selected to be extended in the direction coincident with the tangent to the circle of bobbin proper 1, the wire lead can smoothly advance from one section to the next section without being bent.
In the invention, since the middle divided coil Lb is wound opposite to the divided coil La, a recess 12B provided on each of flanges 11B of the winding block B is formed to have an opening opposite to that of recess 12A formed in the winding block A as shown in FIGS. 6C and 6D.
As shown in FIG. 5, terminal attaching recesses 14 are provided between the winding blocks A and B to which diodes are attached respectively. In the illustrated example of FIG. 5, a flange 15AB is formed between the flanges 11A 0 and 11B 0 of winding blocks A and B, and the recesses 14 are formed between the flanges 11A 0 and 15AB and between 15AB and 11B 0 at predetermined positions. Then, terminal plates 16, shown in FIG. 4, are inserted into the recesses 14 and then fixed there to, respectively. The terminal plates 16 are not shown in FIG. 5. Between the winding blocks B and C and between the blocks A and B, similar terminal attaching recesses 14 are formed, and terminal plates 16 are also inserted thereinto and then fixed thereto.
As described above, since the divided coil Lb is wound opposite to the divided coils La and Lc, it is necessary that the winding direction of the wire lead be changed when the wire lead goes from the block A to block B and also from the block B to block C, respectively.
Turning to FIG. 7, an example of the winding or wire lead guide means according to the present invention will be now described. In FIG. 7, there are mainly shown a bridge member for the wire lead and an inverse member or means for the wire lead which are provided between the winding blocks A and B. At first, a bridge means 20 and its guide means 21, which form the bridge member, will be described. The bridge means 20 is provided by forming a cut-out portion or recess in the middle flange 15AB located between the winding blocks A and B. In close relation to the bridge means or recess 20, the guide means 21 is provided on a bridge section X A at the side of block A. This guide means 21 is formed as a guide piece which connects an edge portion 20a of recess 20 at the winding direction side to the flange 11A 0 of block A in the oblique direction along the winding direction through the section X A .
Next, an inverse engaging means 22 will be now described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. If the flange 11B 0 of FIG. 7 is viewed from the right side, the inverse engaging means 22 can be shown in FIG. 8A. In this case, the tip end of one side 13a of recess 12B 1 is formed as a projection which is extended outwards somewhat beyond the outer diameter of flange 11B 0 . The inverse engaging means 22 may take any configuration but it is necessary that when the rotating direction of the bobbin proper 1 is changed to the clockwise direction, the wire lead can be engaged with the recess 12B 1 or projection of one side 13a and then suitably transferred to the next station.
Another guide means 23 is provided on a bridge section X B at the side of winding block B in close relation to the inverse engaging means 22. The guide means 23 is formed as a guide surface which is a projected surface from the bottom surface of section X B and extended obliquely in the winding direction. This guide means or guide surface 23 is inclinded low into the means 22 and has an edge 23a which is continuously formed between the middle flange 15AB and the flange 11B 0 .
In this case, it is possible that the guide means 21 and guide surface 23 are formed to be the same in construction. That is, both the guide means 21 and 23 can be made of either the guide piece, which crosses the winding section or guide surface projected upwards from the bottom surface of the winding section. It is sufficient if the guide means 21 and 23 are formed to smoothly transfer the wire lead from one section to the next section under the bobbin proper 1 being rotated.
Although not shown, in connection with the middle flange 15BC between the winding blocks B and C, there are provided similar bridge means 20, guide means 21, inverse engaging means 22 and another guide means 23, respectively. In this case, since the winding direction of the wire lead is reversed, the forming directions of the means are reverse but their construction is substantially the same as that of the former means. Therefore, their detailed description will be omitted.
According to the bobbin structure of the invention with the construction set forth above, the wire lead, which is transferred from the block A to the section X A by the rotation of bobbin proper 1, is wound on the section X B from the section X A after being guided by the guide piece 21 to the recess 20 provided on the middle flange 15AB, and then transferred to the recess 22 provided on the flange 11B 0 guide surface 23, bridged once to the first section of winding block B through the recess 22 (refer to dotted lines b in FIG. 7). Then, if the rotating direction of the bobbin proper 1 is reversed, the wire lead is engaged with the bottom of recess 22 (refer to solid lines b in FIG. 7). Thus, if the above reverse rotation of bobbin proper 1 is maintained, the wire lead is wound on the block B in the direction reverse to that of block A. When the wire lead is transferred from the block B to block C, the same effect as that above is achieved. Therefore, according to the present invention, the wire lead can be automatically and continuously wound on the bobbin proper 1.
After the single wire lead is continuously wound on blocks A, B and C of bobbin proper 1 as set forth above, the wire lead is cut at the substantially center of each of its bridging portions. Then, the cut ends of the wire lead are connected through diodes Da, Db and Dc at the terminal plates 16, respectively by solder.
In the present invention, the projection piece, which has the diameter greater than that of the flange 11B, is provided in the bridge recess 12 to form the inverse engaging means 22 as described above, so that when the winding direction is changed, the wire lead engages with the inverse engaging means 22 without errors when reversing the winding direction of the wire lead.
If the diameter of the projection piece of means 22 is selected, for example, to be the same as that of the flange 11B, it will not be certain that the wire lead engages with the means 22 because it depends upon the extra length of the wire lead and hence errors in winding cannot be positively avoided.
Further, in this invention, the bridge means is provided on the flange positioned at the bridging portion of the bobbin which has a number of dividing blocks separated by flanges, and the inverse engaging means is provided and also the guide means is provided at the former winding section to cooperate with the inverse engaging means. Therefore, the wire lead can be positively fed to the bridge means, and the transfer of the wire lead to the following winding section can be carried out smoothly.
Further, in this invention since one side of the recess 12 is selected coincident with the tangent of the outer circle of the bobbin proper 1 and also with the winding direction, the wire lead can be smoothly bridged to the following section. Due to the fact that the direction of recess 12 is changed in response to the winding direction, even if there is a block on which the wire lead is wound in the opposite direction to that of the other block, the wire lead can be continuously and automatically wound through the respective blocks.
The above description is given for the case where the present invention is applied to the coil bobbin for the high voltage winding of a fly-back transformer, but it will be clear that the present invention can be applied to other coil bobbins which require divided windings thereon with the same effects.
It will be apparent that many modifications and variations could be effected by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirits or scope of the novel concepts of the present invention, so that the spirits or scope of the invention should be determined by the appended claims only.
