Abstract: At least one of the focusing electrodes stages disposed between an acceleration electrodes stage and a rear focusing electrodes stage is constituted by first and second grid electrodes, confronting portions thereof having asymmetrical construction with respect to an electron beam axis. A constant focusing voltage is applied to the first grid electrode, and a dynamic focusing voltage gradually increasing or decreasing from the constant focusing voltage as the degree of beam deflection increases is applied to the second grid electrode.

Abstract: An improved in-line type electromagnetic focusing cathode-ray tube which comprises magnetic yokes, a focusing magnetic field generating permanent magnet, a deflecting magnetic field control element and a cup-shaped spacer member for separating the magnetic yokes from the deflecting magnetic field control element. The deflecting magnetic field control element is disposed at a distance l.gtoreq.0.26 D from an end of the magnetic yoke closest to a fluorescent screen, where D is an outer diameter of the magnetic yoke, so that a beam spot on the fluorescent screen has substantially circular shape to attain an excellent focusing characteristic.

Abstract: In a cathode-ray tube provided with a direct-heating type cathode, a transformer through which the cathode is heated is disposed within the bulb of the cathode-ray tube. This improvement eliminates the instability of heating due to the contact resistance caused between the base pins of the cathode-ray tube to which the terminals of the cathode are connected and the socket pins to which the base pins are fitted.

Abstract: An in-line stripe type color picture tube comprises an inner magnetic shield member having sufficient shield effect against both individual vertical and horizontal components of the earth magnetism and composite components as well. The inner magnetic shield member prevents unwanted shifts of electron beams to ensure that the positional relationship between a fluorescent screen and landing electron beams may have sufficient tolerances and color blur on the fluorescent screen may be prevented.

With a view to making possibly occurring moires imperceptible, the arrangement of the apertures are made such that, when spatial deviation in the vertical positions between any two apertures in the horizontally adjacent aperture rows is represented by .DELTA.y, there may be included combinations of at least two different type aperture rows of different deviations .DELTA.y which satisfy the following condition ##EQU1## at least when n is equal to 1, 2, 3 or 4 and k is an odd number smaller than 2n.

Abstract: A color misalignment correction device for use in a color picture tube, in which at least two magnets are disposed rotatably and adjustably on the outer peripheral surface of the cathode-ray bulb so as to correct an arc-shaped convergence error appearing in a horizontal direction of the phosphor screen due to a mounting error of the electron guns in the color picture tube or due to a mounting error of the deflection coil assembly on the color picture tube.

Abstract: A color picture tube of an in-line type comprises means for deflecting beams of electron emitted from electron guns of the in-line type aligned horizontally such that for the horizontal deflection, the central beam is subjected to a greater deflection than side beams and for the vertical deflection, the side beams are subjected to a greater deflection than the central beam. Two vertical magnetic pole piece plates which are long vertically and thin horizontally are so disposed as to sandwich the central beam near the outlet of the central electron gun in order to weaken horizontal deflection magnetic field acting on the central beam, whereby a portion of the horizontal deflection magnetic flux acting on the central beam is absorbed by the two magnetic pole piece plates. The vertical deflection magnetic field is almost not affected by these vertical magnetic pole piece plates.
