Abstract: A coating apparatus for forming a high-resistance film on the inner surface of the neck of the funnel of a cathode ray tube has a nozzle that can be inserted into the neck. The nozzle, which is provided for applying a material liquid to the inner surface of the neck, has a jet hole inclined toward the direction of gravity. The material liquid applied through the jet hole thus inclined scarcely flows upwardly on the inner surface of the neck. The liquid therefore forms a high-resistance film having a uniform thickness on the inner surface of the neck of the funnel. Having a uniform thickness, the high-resistance film inhibits the charge-up of the neck potential, reducing the convergence drift caused by the charge-up of the neck potential.

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.
