An apparatus for correcting image distortion in a display device and method thereof facilitate enhanced image distortion correction includes a first memory storing at least one interpolation constant; a control unit for generating a predetermined number of image point signals; a device for outputting at least one drive signal, to correct distortion in an image point, by interpolating the input image point signals using the at least one interpolation constant; and at least one switching device for switching a drive control of a corresponding area of the image in response to a corresponding drive signal.
The apparatus facilitates distortion correction in slim line CRT displays of wide deflection angle.
Interpolation information is stored in a Field Programmable Gate Array controlled by an EEPROM, output signals passing via photocouplers.
