Abstract

The F!T tube is a new type of CRT without a shadow mask. Correct color reproduction is performed by an electronic system that measures the landing positions of the electron beams and corrects through a dedicated deflection system. This paper describes in detail the position sensor and some of the electronics needed to build a functional control system. The principle has been shown in single- and triple-beam 17" and 32" tubes, of which results are included.
