  • Patent number: 6621203
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a deflection unit for mounting on an in-line type cathode ray tube comprising a coil body including grooves for receiving wound coil wires, the grooves extending substantially in a straight line. The groove extension of at least one groove is changed at at least one location such that the coil wires received in the groove become curved in the area of the changed groove extension. In a preferred embodiment the grooves are separated from each other by groove walls which in the area of the changed groove extension comprise a thickening and optionally a bulge. The coil wires wound onto the coil body form the horizontal coil or the vertical coil. The arrangement serves the selective fine adjustment of the deflection fields for eliminating convergence, coma and/or geometry errors.

  • Patent number: 6580208
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a deflection unit for mounting on a color cathode ray tube, an associated tube and a corresponding display apparatus. The deflection unit comprises a pair of coils for vertical deflection and a pair of coils for horizontal deflection. At least one of the pair of coils is subdivided into at least two parts, of which one part is intended for the correction of convergence errors and the other part for the correction of geometry errors. The respective corrections can be carried out independently of the respectively other correction. According to a preferred embodiment the parts are spatially separated and mechanically independent, with the part intended for geometry error correction being positioned closer to the screen of the picture tube. Preferred is the use of an in-line type arrangement of the saddle-saddle or saddle-toroidal type.
