Abstract
A color display device comprising a cathode ray tube and a deflection unit. The display device includes magnets for correcting distortions in the raster displayed on the screen and means for providing correction currents through the coils of the correction magnets. The correction electromagnets are arranged substantially anti-mirror-symmetrically with respect to the field (vertical, y-z) deflection plane, substantially mirror-symmetrically with respect to the line (horizontal, x-z) deflection plane, and each correction coil extends along an arc portion between angles α1 and α2, said angles obeying the following rules: |cos(3α1)−cos(3α2)|≧1.33 and |cos(5α1)−cos(5α2)|≦0.5, α1 and α2 being taken with respect to the line (horizontal) deflection plane.
