  • Patent number: 4598234
    Abstract: A digital electron optics correction circuit for correcting the focus and astigmatism in a displayed image on a CRT is disclosed. The circuit includes a clock generator for generating a selected number of pulses between each horizontal blanking synchronization pulse. These clock pulses are then counted by an X-address counter and a first address signal is generated corresponding to a particular horizontal position on the CRT screen for each count of the X-address counter. A pulse generator circuit is also provided which is coupled to receive the vertical blanking synchronization pulses and which provides a selected number of output pulses for each vertical blanking synchronization pulse. A Y-address counter counts the output pulses from the pulse generator circuit and provides a second address signal corresponding to a particular vertical position on the CRT screen for each count.
