A cathode ray tube display in which a signal for detection of a cathode current is inserted into a part of the vertical blanking period of the video signal to be displayed, a cathode current corresponding to the signal for detection is detected, and a cathode voltage or a grid voltage is negative feedback controlled so that the detected cathode current becomes constant, thereby stabilizing the cathode current. The display has a local overscan circuit for executing a vertical scan on the screen with a width larger than a predetermined scan width only at a timing of the cathode current detecting signal inserted for a vertical blanking period, and even in the case where an underscan system to scan by a width smaller than a predetermined display screen width is used as a scan system of the screen display. The invention prevents a harmful visible display image by the cathode current detecting signal appears on the screen.

Cathode ray tube display

A video output circuit of a wide bandwidth comprises a bridged-T-type circuit, a first inductor connected in series to the bridged-T-type circuit, and a shunt circuit connected in series to the bridged-T-type circuit and including a second inductor and a first resistor connected in parallel with each other. The bridged-T-type circuit, the first inductor and the shunt circuit cooperate to constitute together with a plurality of stray capacitors a low-pass filter whose order is at least 4 and whose merit index is at least 3.

Video output circuit with wide bandwidth and low power consumption for

A video output circuit for driving a CRT of a grid-cathode differential drive type is disclosed, in which a collector potential of an output transistor in a horizontal blanking interval is detected by a diode arrangement; the potential thus detected is smoothed by a smoothing filtering arrangement output current of the output transistor is controlled by an output obtained by the smoothing filtering arrangement; and negative feedback control is effected so that the collector potential of the output transistor is made constant. In this way, a bias adjusting power supply, which was required heretofore, is made unnecessary.
