Abstract

A horizontal deflection apparatus which is provided with a circuit to convert a vertical deflection voltage into a crosswise pincushion distortion correction voltage in a parabola form, a vertical frequency detecting circuit which detects a frequency of a vertical synchronizing signal and outputs a control signal of a voltage corresponding to the frequency, an automatic gain control circuit which amplifies the correction voltage with the gain controlled in response to the control signal corresponding to the outputted vertical frequency and outputs a voltage signal in a parabola form with a fixed amplitude for correcting a crosswise pincushion distortion, a pulse width modulating circuit which modulates a pulse signal synchronized with a horizontal synchronizing signal in response to the outputted voltage signal from the automatic gain control circuit, and a chopper-type power circuit which chops a power voltage with the pulse width modulating output and gives the chopped power voltage to a horizontal output circuit, thereby correcting the crosswise pincushion distortion in response to the voltage signal with the fixed amplitude irrespective of the change of the vertical frequency, and enabling adequate correction of the crosswise pincushion distortion even if the vertical frequency changes.

Dependent claims

A horizontal deflection apparatus which deflects an electron beam in a horizontal direction for scanning a picture tube that is scanned by said electron beam in synchronization with a horizontal synchronizing signal in the horizontal direction as the main scanning direction and is scanned by said electron beam in synchronization with a vertical synchronizing signal in a vertical direction as the subscanning direction comprising:

a correction voltage generating means for generating a correction voltage of parabolic form with an amplitude corresponding to the vertical frequency of said vertical synchronizing signal so as to correct a crosswise pincushion distortion;
a vertical frequency detecting means for detecting said vertical frequency;
an automatic gain control circuit which controls gain of the correction voltage generated by said correction voltage generating means in response to the vertical frequency detected by said vertical frequency detecting means and outputs a signal of parabolic form with a predetermined constant amplitude irrespective of changes of said vertical frequency;
a pulse width modulating circuit which modulates a pulse signal synchronized with said horizontal synchronizing signal in response to the output signal with the predetermined amplitude of said automatic gain control circuit;
a chopper power circuit which chops a power voltage with the output pulse of said pulse width modulating circuit;
and
a horizontal output circuit which is operated with the output voltage of said chopper power circuit.
