Abstract: In a color cathode ray tube apparatus including an electron gun assembly having a main electron lens section for focusing and converging three electron beams arranged in a line on a phosphor screen, three electron beam through holes arranged in a line in the arrangement direction of the three electron beams are formed in each of the opposing surfaces of the first electrode having a relatively low potential and a second electrode having a relatively high potential, which electrodes constitute the main electron lens and substantially oppose, the pair of side beam through holes of the second electrode are decentered outward in the arrangement direction of the three electron beams with respect to the pair of side beam through holes of the first electrode, and each of the pair of side beam through holes of any one of the first and second electrodes is formed to have a substantially horizontally elongated shape in which both sides in the arrangement direction of the three electron beams are constituted by arcs and

Abstract: Disclosed is a color cathode ray tube equipped with a main electronic lens section for focusing a plurality of in-line electron beams on a screen section. The main electronic lens section includes a plurality of grids each having electron-beam through holes and securely supported by a plurality of insulating supports. At least one of the grids has a rectangular cup portion with a substantially rectangular cross section for commonly enclosing the plurality of in-line electron beams and a face having electron-beam through holes formed at least at one end and substantially perpendicular to the rectangular cup portion. The ratio of an outside diameter L.sub.H of the substantially rectangular portion in a long-axial direction to an outside length L.sub.S thereof in a short-axial direction, L.sub.H /L.sub.S, is set to 2.5<L.sub.H /L.sub.S <4.4, and the ratio of the outside length L.sub.S to a diameter D.sub.V of the electron-beam through holes in the same short-axial direction, L.sub.S /D.sub.V, is set to 1.

Abstract: In a color cathode ray tube apparatus including an electron gun assembly having a main electron lens section constituted by a plurality of electrodes for focusing three electron beams arranged in a line on a target and a deflection unit for deflecting the three electron beams, at least an electrode to which a voltage obtained by superposing a variable voltage changed in accordance with a deflection amount of the electron beams on a predetermined DC voltage and an electrode which substantially opposes the electrode and to which a voltage obtained by superposing a variable voltage induced through a capacitance between the opposing electrodes on a predetermined voltage applied through a resistor arranged in a tube is applied are arranged in a main electron lens section, and the main electron lens section is made into an electron lens for changing the focusing state of the electron beams in synchronism with deflection of the electron beams.
