Abstract

An automatic convergence system for correcting misregistration of component color images in a projection video display unit. The system comprises control circuitry for generating target characters onto a projection surface, and a locator assembly for aiming a photosensor array at the displayed target images by means of a pair of stepper motors. The photosensor array detects the position of the target images and conveys this information to a microprocessor which in response calculates appropriate correction signals for application to vertical and horizontal convergence coils of the display system for effecting convergence of the component color images.
