4. BLANKING CIRCUIT
The blanking circuit consists of Q7E1 through Q7E3 which amplify the blanking pulse, the spot killer circuit
and the auto adjust blanking circuit.
1) Blanking Circuit
The IC501(DSP) on OSC PWB generates the blanking pulse which are mixed the horizontal blanking pulse
and the vertical blanking pulse and outputs the blanking pulse(VH_BLK) from pin40. The blanking pulse is
amplified by Q7E1 through Q7E3 and are applied to G1. Therefore during the horizontal and vertical
retrace periods, the voltage of G1 becomes low and then the raster is disappeared.
2) Spot Killer Circuit
The spot killer circuit operates when the display is turned off ,the suspend and the off modes. When the
power is on, Q781 is turned off by 8.8V of C781 and the collector voltage of Q781 becomes 137V. When
the display is turn off, the Q781 is activated by the voltage of 8.8V power supply drop. Then the collector
voltage of Q781 becomes 0V from 137V. Therefore G1 voltage is changed to -137V by the change of C783
charge. It is the same with the suspend and the off modes. Then the raster is cut off.
3) Auto Adjust Blanking Circuit
The auto adjust blanking circuit operates one second when the user proceeds the auto adjust on OSM.
Then Q7K2 is activated by the change of the AS_BLK voltage. Then Q7K3 and Q7K1 are turned off.
Therefore G1 voltage is change to -80V and the raster is cut off.
