Abstract
Abstract A system for driving a cathode-ray tube in a television receiver or the like comprising means for generating an output voltage variable depending on the variation of beam current, means for combining the output voltage of the generating means with a voltage obtained by reducing the high voltage applied to the cathode-ray tube, and means for applying the resultant voltage to the focusing electrode of the cathode-ray tube. Thus, with the increase in the beam current, the voltage applied to the focusing electrode is reduced at a greater rate than the rate of reduction of the high voltage applied to the anode of the cathode-ray tube so that the televised picture can be satisfactorily reproduced.
