  • Patent number: 4874983
    Abstract: Self-convergent picture display system with a color display tube and an electromagnetic deflection unit including a field deflection coil and a line deflection coil which are both of the saddle type and are wound directly on a support. The deflection unit includes a pair of magnetically permeable portions which are arranged symmetrically with respect to the plane of symmetry of the field deflection coil on either side of the tube axis. The magnetically permeable portion draws magnetic flux from the end of the yoke ring in order to extend the vertical deflection field. A self-convergent system can be realized with different screen formats by choosing different lengths of the magnetically permeable portions.

    Abstract: In a color television display system comprising a kinescope having in-line electron beams and a deflection yoke having saddle horizontal and toroidal vertical windings, a correcting apparatus comprises a magnetically permeable ring disposed at the rear of the yoke around the neck of the kinescope. Slots are formed into the ring at the top and bottom, separating it into two semi-circular segments. External flux from the deflection yoke horizontal and vertical coils is shunted into the permeable corrector and away from the focus region of the kinescope electron gun assembly, thereby improving beam focus and reducing vertical coma error. The slots formed in the ring prevent excessive flux from being shunted into the corrector which otherwise would undesirably reduce the amount of beam scan, and require a compensating increase in deflection power.
