Abstract: When, for example, horizontal lines are displayed on a display screen of a display device, they may exhibit a field distortion, predominantly in the form of gullwing distortion which becomes manifest as a sinewave-shaped line instead of the horizontal line to be displayed. To correct this field distortion, a correction is generated by a field distortion correction circuit and a resonant circuit, dependent on the location on the display screen, which correction is added to the field deflection current so that the picture to be displayed is corrected for this error.

Abstract: A cathode-ray tube and deflection system suitable for a cathode-ray tube.A cathode-ray tube having a deflection system, comprising two switched line deflection coils, a coil being arranged between the deflection coils, and a line deflection system suitable for a cathode-ray tube. The coil reduces the occurrence of "ringing" on the picture screen without necessitating a modification in the design of the deflection system or the enivonment of the deflection system.

Abstract: A cathode ray tube electromagnetic deflection unit comprising a support (4) having a flange (8) at its constricted end (5) which has a tangential groove into which radial grooves (14) merge. Two sets of deflection coils (18, 19) are wound on the support (4), the turns thereof running through the radial grooves (14) and the turns of one set bending into the tangential groove. The coils of the coil system 18 are for line deflection, and the two halves thereof are wound in the opposite winding sense and are energized during operation in such a manner that the highest voltage in both coils occurs at the coil turns adjacent plane of separation between the two coils and the lowest voltage occurs at the coil turns most remote from such plane of separation.
