Abstract
An improved spot elimination circuit for preventing a spot from occurring on the screen of a cathode ray tube such as a monitor or television receiver at the instant that the deflection circuit is shut off. An input voltage is charged and discharged to supply a high voltage in negative polarity to a first grid of the cathode ray tube. The spot elimination circuit includes a flyback transformer having a separate turns portion additionally provided for generating a high voltage and utilizes the high voltage as an input to thereby supply a cut-off voltage to the first grid. Accordingly, the phosphor screen of the cathode ray tube is protected from excessive cathode luminance at a focused spot which can cause degradation of the screen.
