Abstract
A method for improving brightness uniformity reduces a decrease of light towards the edges of a display screen (10) of a display tube (1). The extent of the decrease of light particularly depends on an increase of the thickness of the glass of the display screen (10) from the center of the display screen (10) to its edges, and on a transmission of the glass. This decrease of light is corrected by causing the deflection rate to decrease (C1, Cs) from the center of the display screen (10) towards its edges.
