TechnologyNew audio -video cablepromises superiorreproduction qualitySo many exciting things havebeen happening in consumerelectronics: microcomputers inall kinds of products, stereoaudio for television, compactdigital audio discs to name afew. But there are some areasof electronics that seem soordinary, so pedestrian, thatyou don't expect to seeannouncements ofadvancements orbreakthroughs.What, for example, could bemore ordinary than the copperwire that connects a stereoamplifier to the speakers, or forthat matter, the shielded cablethat connects the turntable ortape deck to the pre -amp.mean, there's not much chanceof seeing any advances in that,is there? Wrong.ILC-OFCvideo cables.A new cable using linearcrystal/oxygen-free copper (LCOFC), a recent breakthrough inaudio -video technology, recentlyhas been introduced by HitachiCable, Inc. Linear -crystal cableprovides dramatically lower distortion and reduced signal loss com-pared to conventional cable, claimsthe manufacturer. One Japanesecritic is said to proclaim that usingthe new cable makes a differenceequivalent to upgrading a full levelin loudspeaker quality.Developed by Hitachi engineersin Japan, LC-OFC cable makes useof recent research on the crystalsfound in the copper used to makeelectrical cable. Scientists suspected that a major source of distortion and signal loss lay in theboundaries between crystals,which act as a gap the electricalimpulses have to cross. One way tominimize the problem, they reasoned, was simply to reduce thenumber of crystals.To do this, they developed atechnique that produces oversizecopper crystals called, logicallyenough, giant crystals. Then theydevised an extrusion process thatstretches the giant crystals untilthey're thousands of times longerthan usual.What results are linear-crystals(LC). Whereas ordinary coppercable might have 50,000 crystalboundaries per meter, LC cable hasonly 20. Fewer boundaries for a signal to cross, according to the manu-facturer, means less distortion.LC-OFC cable also makes use ofa purer grade of copper, known asoxygen free copper (OFC). Ordinary copper contains an impurity called copper oxide. This formsbarriers between the coppercrystals, making distortion andsignal loss even worse. Oxygenfree copper contains only one hundredth the amount of oxygenthat ordinary copper has.Another improvement incorporated into LC-OFC cable iselasto memory conductor. Electrical energy sets off tiny vibrations when it passes through acable. These vibrations can drainoff signal energy and cause distortion. To prevent this, each linearcrystal cable is tightly wrapped inpolyolefin memory tape, dampening any vibration.LC-OFC cable is said to be particularly effective when used toconnect all the components in astereo or video system, not just thespeakers. Using LC-OFC just toconnect the amplifier with a tapedeck makes a noticeable difference, proponents say.November 1985Electronic Servicing & Technology3

EditorialOne small step, one giant leapThe history of electricity and electronics includesa lot of experimentation with new materials: improving existing materials and finding new materials to do the job. For example, in the early days,much of the insulation was Bakelite, glass, varnished fabric, paper. As the technology advanced,thermoplastics began to take on many of the insulation tasks. Experimentation with germanium andsilicon led to the revolution that replaced vacuumtubes in electronic circuits with far more reliablesolid-state components. Work with phenolic resinsresulted in printed circuit boards, changing the waywiring is handled in many instances. Even the formulation of recording tapes has changed and nowconsumers have a wide choice of tape types tochoose from for various types of recording. Light emitting diodes and liquid crystals have changed theway information about the status of an electronicsproduct is displayed.Recently two developments were announced thatare destined, each in its own way, to change theworld of electronics. One of these developments is inan area that seems so pedestrian that you wouldn'texpect to see significant innovation at this point,and the other is so advanced it's almost unbelievable.Well, who would have thought they'd improve oncables for stereo? I mean, wire's wire, right? Apparently not, as revealed in an article in theTechnology department in this month's ES&T.Metallurgists have recently studied the structure ofthe copper used in ordinary copper wire and foundELGOTRONIOServeing 8 Technologythat its characteristics could be improved. Theyfound a way to remove all of the oxygen, existing inthe wire in the form of copper oxide, that interferes with the transmission of the audio signal.They also have managed to increase the size greatlyof the individual copper crystals in the wire. Thisreduces the number of crystals in the wire accordingly, reducing the number of crystal -to -crystaltransitions that the signal must make. The net resultof all this, claims the manufacturer, is an improvement in audio' system performance equivalent to onelevel of upgrade of components.In contrast to this already commercially availabletechnological advance, another advance in materialstechnology still in the earliest stages is molecularelectronics. According to a newsletter published by"Boardroom Reports," this marriage of electronicsand biotechnology will use tiny organic molecules ascomponents in extremely fast, minuscule electroniccircuits. The newsletter implies that the futurefruits of this new technology could include supercomputers the size of a paperback novel, truly intelligent robot systems and electronic vision for theblind. According to the newsletter "even skepticscan envision commercial produets on the market intwo to five years."Thus is progress made in the field of electronics: aminor innovation here, an incredible breakthroughthere.cY.1.ARTKevin Callahan, Art DirectorJoni Harding, Graphic DesignerADMINISTRATIONEditorial, advertising and circulation correspondence should be addressed to: P.O.

Ultra wide viewing angle,rear projection TV screenAn ultrawide viewing angle, lowshift screen has beendeveloped. Other significant features are high resolution capabilityand good contrast in ambient light.tests confirmed the computer program's predictions of ultrawideangle light distribution andcolorThe screen is composed of a lenticular array with contiguous blackstripes, a bulk diffuser and aFresnel lens.Most rear projection TV (PTV)systems use a 2 -piece screen inwhich the front piece incorporatesa linear lenticular array that distributes light horizontally, and anarray of black stripes that increasethe image contrast by reducing theambient room light reflections.The lenticular array is on the inside surface on the front piece andthe black stripes are on the outsidesurface. The registration betweenthe black stripes and the lenticulararray must be controlled with highaccuracy so that the TV picture isunaffected by the presence of thestripes. The rear piece of thescreen is composed of a Fresnellens that directs the light towardthe viewing audience and a diffuser that is incorporated intothe screen for vertical spreading.Thé amount of horizontal and vertical spreading defines the dimensions of the audience space.Although the optical performance of these PTV screens isadequate, with the Fresnel lens ithas been improved in terms of thesize of the audience space, colorshift and resolution.00Ominimal color shift.Black stripesAUDIENCESPACENovel approaches to applyingthe black stripes have beenFigure 1.

The stripes aredurable and can be cleaned.DiffuserFigure 2. PTV with ultrawide viewingangle screen.There are two types of diffusers;diffusers formed on a surface anddiffusers incorporated within thebulk material. Bulk diffusers areused in the new screen becausethey yield higher resolution. Amethod of analyzing bulk diffuserswas developed so that they couldbe designed for high efficiency andresolution.Fresnel lensThe performance of Fresnellenses of different configurationswas studied with the use of a computer model. A configuration waschosen that yields high efficiencyand good off-axis performance.The facets of the Fresnel lens weredesigned to eliminate artifactsthat result from the Fresnel lensbeing illuminated by three CRTs(two of which are off-axis).Lenticular arrayA computer program was written to predict the optical performance of different lenticular profiles. The program predicts lightFigure 3. Schematic of ultrawide viewingangle screen.distribution and color shift. An optimal lenticular profile was designed that is based on reflective/refractive optics. Due to totalinternal reflection, the side portions of each lenticular elementreflects light away from contiguous black stripes and towardthe tip of the element. Because ofthe shape of the tip, the light isrefracted into the viewing area atvery high angles. Large plasticmodels of individual elementswere constructed. The lenticularshape that produced the bestresults was manufactured with apitch of 0.3mm. ExperimentalOverall screen considerationsBecause two of the surfaces ofthe screen are planar, the screencould be redesigned as a 1- piecescreen. This would significantlyreduce the corner illuminations.The most important attributes ofthis new rear projection TV screenare the perception of uniformbrightness and minimal color shiftthroughout the 180 horizontalviewing angle.This article was based on a paperpresented by engineers of NorthAmerican Philips Corporation.November 1985asElectronic Servicing & Technology5
