A circuit to correct for pincushion distortion and defocusing in a cathode-ray tube having electromagnetic deflection systems is disclosed. The circuit, which may be realized in monolithic integrated-circuit form, performs a mathematical function to predistort the deflection signal for each axis by the amount necessary to provide an undistorted display. The circuit also provides a signal to correct for the defocusing that occurs at the edges of the screen. The circuit may be readily adapted for use with cathode-ray tubes having different diagonal deflection angles, and with either flat of curved faceplates, by changing the values of two resistors.
