Abstract

A method and apparatus for compensating the alternating electrical fields present at the front surface of a cathode ray picture tube wherein the high-voltage signal supplied to the high-voltage terminal of the tube is tapped to extract an alternating voltage signal therefrom, and the alternating voltage signal is inverted and amplified and then applied to a suitable external electrode placed in the proximity of the picture tube. The external electrode can be a framing band, an aquadag region or a ring electrode, among other things. Furthermore, combination of these electrodes can be employed.
