Abstract

The invention relates to a flat display device with a faceplate (1) having either an outward curvature or bulging inwards under the action of atmospheric pressure, the device also comprising a planar deflection device (8) to deflect the electron beams (13, 14) in each line. With a view to obtaining a pure-color image, the deflection voltages are corrected according to the particular distance between the deflection device (8) and the faceplate (1), thereby ensuring that the electron beams (13, 14) will impinge only on the appropriate equidistant phosphor dots or strips (4). The formula for calculating the correction factor (K) is stated.
