Abstract
Abstract A focus yoke used for an electromagnetically focused CRT display comprises: a cylindrical permanent magnet unit which is disposed around a neck portion of a CRT and is spaced from the circumference of the neck portion; a core unit which defines a toroidal space together with the cylindrical magnet unit for substantially surrounding the neck portion, the core unit forming a magnetic path to guide magnetic lines of force generated by the cylindrical magnet unit; a dynamic focus winding unit disposed in the toroidal space; and a winding unit disposed externally of said toroidal space for eliminating an undesired magnetic field of an inverse polarity generated due to the cylindrical magnet unit.
