  • Patent number: 5825131
    Abstract: A tilt compensation circuit for a picture tube is provided to correct an image rotation phenomenon of a currently displayed image on a screen caused by an outer interference such as terrestrial magnetism. In the picture tube, an alternating current for driving the tube is applied to a power supply circuit for voltage conversion through an AC line filter and to a degaussing coil as well. The circuit includes a tilt adjustment circuit for comparing a tilt compensation control signal of a predetermined voltage level with a voltage feedback signal from the degaussing coil thereby generating current corresponding the difference therebetween. The circuit further includes a switching circuit responsive to a state of the tilt compensation control signal for selectively switching between a first circuit loop incorporating the AC line filter and the degaussing coil and a second loop incorporating the tilt adjustment circuit and the degaussing coil.
