Abstract
Abstract A color picture tube apparatus comprising a color picture tube and beam deflecting means surrounding the color picture tube. The color picture tube includes an in-line type electron gun and a phosphor screen with phosphor layers. Each phosphor layer emits red, green and blue light when the electron beams from the electron gun impinge upon it. The beam deflecting means includes a horizontal deflection coil for generating a horizontal deflection magnetic field, a vertical deflecting coil and correction coils. The vertical deflecting coil and the correction coils cooperate to generate a vertical deflection magnetic field. The distribution of the horizontal deflection magnetic field is barrel-shaped on the electron gun side and pincushion-shaped on the phosphor screen side and is, as a whole, pincushion-shaped. The distribution of the vertical deflection magnetic field is barrel-shaped on the electron gun side and pincushion-shaped on the phosphor screen side and is, as a whole, barrel-shaped. The correction coils serve to automatically correct both an image distortion and a convergence error at the same time.
