Abstract
A vertical deflection circuit for a color picture tube apparatus, which reduces a white horizontal belt-like area that appears near vertical center of a color picture tube screen, caused by the operation of a convergence correction circuit using switching characteristics of a diode. The circuit comprises a vertical deflection yoke and a vertical linearity correction circuit connected to the vertical deflection yoke. The vertical deflection yoke has a vertical deflection coil, a convergence correction circuit using a diode as a switch, and a vertical coma aberration correction coil. An impedance of the vertical linearity correction circuit varies within a range where a vertical deflection current is in the vicinity of 0 A so as to reduce an impedance of the vertical deflection circuit.
