A self-converging color television display system utilizes a saddle-toroid deflection yoke. The length of the horizontal coil conductors adjacent the flared picture tube portion is limited to reduce stored energy. The length of the core also is limited and disposed longitudinally between the end turns of the horizontal saddle coils at a position to mitigate convergence trilemma as well as North-South pincushion distortion.

Self-converging television display system

A self-converging deflection yoke having toroidally-wound vertical deflection coils incorporates a pair of magnetically permeable field formers mounted on either side of the yoke. The field formers shunt a portion of the external field flux to the vicinity of the electron gun assembly where they form a pincushion-shaped field which aids in vertical coma correction. In one embodiment, a yoke comprising planar-wound vertical coils incorporates both coma-correcting rear field formers and a pair of front crossarm assemblies for providing side-pincushion correction. The resultant yoke provides covergence of electron beams free of coma and side-pincushion distortion with reduced sensitivity to transverse motion. In another embodiment, similar results are obtained without the front crossarms by vertical deflection coil having a nonradial winding configuration.

Color TV display system

In a television receiver comprising a display system incorporating a kinescope having horizontal in-line electron beams and also incorporating a deflection yoke having toroidally-wound vertical deflection coils, where the kinescope utilizes a magnetically-permeable G3 focussing electrode in the electron guns to reduce deflection defocussing, an arrangement for correcting misconvergence of the electron beams caused by the magnetically-permeable G3 electrode comprises a pair of magnetically-permeable field formers disposed along and extending toward the rear of the yoke. The field formers are configured to collect a portion of the external fields generated by the vertical windings and direct those portions through the kinescope neck substantially at right angles to the electron beams in the vicinity of the exit end of the electron guns with a barrel-shaped transverse pattern.

Color television display system having improved convergence

A television display arrangement includes a kinescope comprising a viewing screen, an in-line electron beam gun assembly for producing a plurality of electron beams and an envelope defining a neck, at one end of which the electron gun assembly is mounted. A deflection yoke is associated with the kinescope for producing astigmatic deflection fields for substantially converging the beams at all points on the viewing screen. The astigmatic fields have balanced nonuniformity functions with low peak excursions for reducing the sensitivity of the beam convergence to the position of the yoke relative to the electron beams, by which relative movement between the yoke and the kinescope does not substantially affect the convergence.

Alignment-insensitive self-converging in-line color display

A color picture reproducing tube utilizes three coplanar electron beams. Convergence of the three beams along at least one axis is accomplished by a deflection assembly producing a magnetic deflection field with particular astigmatism characteristics which also elliptically distorts each of the three beams in a first direction. The electron gun assembly within the picture tube includes apertured electrodes which predistort the beams elliptically in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction of distortion.
