  • Patent number: 6479926
    Abstract: The electron gun of a cathode ray tube comprises a main electron lens portion consisting of at least four electrodes arranged in the order of first grid (5), second grid (6), third grid (7) and fourth grid (8). An intermediate first voltage and an anode voltage are applied to the first grid (5) and the fourth grid (8), respectively. A resistor (100) is connected at one end to the second grid (6) and at the other end to the third grid (7) positioned adjacent to the second grid, with the result that second and third voltages of substantially the same potential, which are intermediate between the first voltage and the anode voltage, are applied to the second grid and the third grid, respectively. These grids are arranged such that a second electrostatic capacitance between the second and third grids (6, 7) is smaller than any of a first electrostatic capacitance between the first and second grids (5, 6) and a third electrostatic capacitance between the third and fourth grids (7, 8).

  • Patent number: 5519290
    Abstract: A seventh grid applied with an anode high voltage, a sixth grid applied with a dynamic voltage, and a fifth grid are provided in a main electron lens section of an electron gun. The dynamic voltage is obtained by superimposing a DC voltage lower than the anode high voltage by a voltage which changes in synchronization with deflection of electron beams. The fifth grid is connected to the sixth grid through a resistor device provided in the tube so as to be adjacent to the sixth grid in the side of the electron beam generator section. The fifth grid and the sixth grid form a multi-pole lens for correcting deflection aberration within the focus lens region of the main electron lens section. As a result, the withstanding voltage of the electron gun using a dynamic focusing method, the resolution of the color cathode ray tube apparatus, and the reliability are improved.
