  • Patent number: 4203051
    Abstract: A three color gun cathode ray tube has convergence correction signals derived from digital signals stored in a digital data store. The screen of the tube is divided into a plurality of areas and a digital correction signal derived for each area. The system is arranged so that when the three beams are scanning a particular area the digital correction signal associated with that area is read out from the digital store, passed through a digital to analog converter and then applied to the convergence coils of the tube.
