Abstract
A color display device comprising a cathode ray tube and a deflection unit also includes a compensation coil or a compensation-coil system, for example, on the outside of the yoke of the deflection unit, so as to compensate for frame errors and convergence errors caused by the earth's magnetic field.
Claims13
A colour display device comprising:
- a cathode ray tube including means for generating three electron beams, a display screen and a deflection unit for generating deflection fields for deflecting the electron beams across the display screen, wherein the deflection unit comprises a yoke made of a soft magnetic material and centered around an axis, and means for compensating for image rotation due to an external magnetic field and which comprise compensation coil means substantially perpendicular to the axis and which surrounds the yoke and is situated in an axial direction between first and second planes which coincide with a first end of the yoke facing the display screen and second end of the yoke opposite said first end, respectively, such that, in operation, a magnetic field generated by the compensation coil means has first and second maxima at a short distance from said first and second ends of the yoke, respectively.
A colour display device comprising:
- a cathode ray tube including means for generating three electron beams, a display screen and a deflection unit, including a yoke made of a soft magnetic material, for generating deflection fields for deflecting the electron beams across the display screen, and means for compensating for image rotation and convergence errors comprising compensation coil means, situated on and surrounding the yoke between axial ends of the yoke, for generating a compensation field with at least an axial component, said compensation coil means producing an effect on the frame rotation as well as on the convergence and being positioned and/or energizable in a manner such that the ratio rotation effect/convergence effect produced by the compensation coil means is at least substantially equal to the ratio rotation effect/convergence effect produced by the earth's magnetic field.
A cathode ray tube display device comprising:
- an electron gun for generating at least one electron beam,
- a display screen,
- a deflection unit including winding means for generating magnetic deflection fields for deflecting the electron beam across the display screen, and a magnetic yoke made of a soft magnetic material, and
- means for compensating image rotation and convergence errors caused by a magnetic field external of the cathode ray tube and which comprises compensation coil means positioned on the outside of and surrounding the magnetic yoke and located between first and second ends of the magnetic yoke, the compensation coil means comprising at least first and second coils axially spaced apart along the outside of the magnetic yoke.
